Grenoble
This was our first day of UofM classes during the program. Because classes at the local university have not started, we have an intensive week with our UM class. The period started at noon, so it was easy to get to the university on time using the tram system. My class played ice breakers to open up about our feelings regarding the program before moving into our first discussion on linguistics. I hate to say it, but from what I have seen so far, linguistics is just not the field for me.
After class I left with Daniel and Roy to find a place for lunch. We wandered around town for roughly an hour before Daniel announced he was just looking for a Monoprix sandwich. I led them to the store and we got snacks together before going our separate ways to relax and do homework. During our walk we got to see stores around town, new restaurants, and monuments.
For dinner Gilbert switched things up. We had fresh melon slices, cheese, and ham for our first course. The melon was probably the best I’ve ever had, sweet and juicy. Our main course was chicken stuff with herbs with a side of fried peppers and vegetables. We ate apricots for dessert.
