Grenoble
Our second CUEF day started at 8:30am. Our grammar class moved to the “lab.” We did listening and speaking exercises that would help us be placed at the appropriate level. It was confusing as to what we were supposed to be doing, as none of us had ever done a lab before and the professor started the lesson without any form of instruction. We moved down the hall to the classroom and corrected the lab for the rest of our 2 hour class period.
The culture class continued to be mostly dull. We discussed facts about French geography and the religious makeup of the country. The professor struggled the entire hour, trying to get a video to play on her laptop that was not compatible with the university’s technology.
We ate a quick lunch before heading to our UM courses. We covered linguistic differences throughout France and the history of accents. We researched what area in the US our accents came from and the computer narrowed it down to Michigan. We all got so caught up in the lesson that Ryan forgot to give us our quiz. We postponed until Thursday.
After class I went out to the local cat café with Brenna, Jillian, and Hannah. It was so cute! I had never been to one before and this made my day. There were a bunch of cute cats you could pet and the drinks were delicious.
