Ça veut dire quoi?

So this week was the first full week of school! I have officially been to all of the classes I picked out, but because I have really specific blocks of time to fill, it is the schedule I have for sure. I was thinking about switching out of one class, but as of now I have no patience for trying to find another class to full that spot and I didn't find anything else in my initial searches so that's going to stay. I have decided to drop one of the classes I was taking at the "students learning French" part of the university because I am taking one in Bordeaux III (the "real" French university) on the same thing. So here it is:

Monday: NO CLASS!
Tuesday: 10h30-12h30 = Lecutre Art History: The Renaissance; 13h30-15h30 = "Le Roman Français"; 15h30-18h30 = Methodology
Wednesday: 8h30-12h30 = "Art et Histoire Litteraire"; 13h30-16h30 = "De Luther à Voltaire" [aka EVIL DAY]
Thursday: 8h30-10h30 = Section Art History: The Renaissance
Friday: NO CLASS!

Basically it rules. I don't know how consistent the Methodology class is actually going to end up being and most likely we will get let out early; considering we got out early every other time we had class. Wednesday is a rough day. 7 hours of real French university classes. The art and literature one is pretty easy, it's divided in to 4 parts and the first 2 professors divide the 4 hours in 2. They are all lecturing on their respective specializations too, which makes it pretty cool. The second professor was a little difficult to understand though, so it became tough to concentrate. Then after only one hour break I have to go sit through 3 more hours of RELIGIOUS HISTORY. It's a long day. But I liked the professor a lot and it's not complicated material so I'm just going to stick with it. I need to learn MEDIEVAL vocab. hahaha. I have no idea where to find it!

All the teachers were really nice too about the fact that we were foreign, and I get a separate test in all my class! Such a plus. Basically this also means I am going to have about 2 weeks free at the end of the quarter since I won't be taking finals during that time. WIN. Can you say Istanbul!? Because I am totally going.

Last night we had a dinner at this nice restaurant called the Automobile Club with the whole EAP group. It was a lot of fun! And there was a lot of wine! It's so funny that it's normal for that to be included in a school function. We ended up leaving with like 2 extra bottles. Whether we were actually supposed to do that of course is def up to debate. Whatever, it wasn't that good. After we went to this salsa bar that was empty because it was like 10 pm, and eventually we made our way to a Jazz Club down by the train station. This place was awesome. They had a live band playing and a really nice lounge and bar; apparently Bordeaux is known for being a place for jazz in France. I had no idea. I ended up leaving a little late for my bus from the train station though and had to take a cab to my other stop for the night bus back to my neighborhood. It was still great though, we are definitely going back.

Tonight: Year students are having a party at their apartment. Perhaps going dancing after?
Saturday: Perigueux, medieval walled city with a big market. Maybe?

I think so.
