Exciting news: today I signed up for my activity! I decided to take art classes, and I found one that meets on Wednesdays after school, which is perfect since I had nothing to do on Wednesdays after I get out of class at 10:30 in the morning.
Me, Lucie, and Maggie actually went to the activity center yesterday just to ask them if we could try a class next week, but they told us that the class we want – Dessin/Art Graphique – only had 3 more spaces and we should sign up if we want to take it because otherwise someone else will take the spot. So, we decided to come back the next day (today) and talk to the teacher of the class and then sign up. I took the bus up to Rennes to meet Lucie at 10, and I found her after a little waiting around. We just went in and talked to the teacher and then signed up. I’m really excited that I finally chose my activity, because I was starting to feel like I would never find one that I wanted to take and that worked with my schedule! I’m really happy that I have Lucie in the class with me, that should make it more fun. I hope we can make some French friends, too! (I’ll keep you posted.)
Our activity center – Le Centre Culturel Colombier – is only a short bus ride from school, which makes it really convenient. Plus, it’s right next to a shopping mall (actually, you have to walk through the mall to get to it), so there’s lots of food places (not to mention awesome stores), like…right there. It’s the ideal location because after class we can hang out at a café or get gelato or eat delicious donuts filled with Nutella. Me and Lucie were also both excited that there’s a dry cleaner in the mall, because we both have jackets that are dry clean only, and really had no idea where a dry cleaner was. Viola! Perfect location!
Our art class is a kind of general class – we get to do drawing, painting, and a few other things, plus we also go on field trips to visit art expositions in Rennes. Sounds amazing, right? We went to buy art supplies after signing up for the class, and I think we’re pretty much ready to go! Our first class is on mercredi and I’m excited.
Oh my gosh, after we bought art supplies though, my trip home was so annoying! Since it’s Saturday, the buses run less often, and I arrived at the bus stop all ready to head back to my host family’s house – but then the next bus wasn’t for an hour! Oh là là! Boring. I eventually got home though and had a delicious lunch with lots of bread. (Yum.)
Speaking of bread, the bread in France is amazing. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat sub-standard American bread again.
