echange langue

I am at the medithèque right now. Essentially, it is a library that also has DVDs and videos. La seule diffèrence est que c'est dans un maison très grand et vieux (the only difference is that it's in a really old big building) once owed by Rothchild. Cool. We can use the internet for free here, so I imagine that I will get very used to the mediathèque. Last night we had the echange langue, which is a program that brings french students who are trying to learn english together with english speakers who are trying to learn french. I met a few cool french girls and a bunch of us are going to get together again. It was nice to be able to use the French like that-- I think I did ok, too! Tomorrow we are going to Monaco as part of the trip. So far, I would definitely give AIFS high marks on their programming--everything has been awesome and helpful. They are taking us to a french restaurant next week and then we are going to go to the Carnaval de Nice on the weekend.
On Wednesday I am going to have my first cooking class. Thus far it is the only thing that I will have to pay extra for, but I think it is going to be worth it. They took us to the school and we met the chef who is going to be teaching us. He was very nice. He made us hors d'ouvres whiwh we incredible! Alors, I have to go, my time is up.
à bientot!

Wow! Cooking school and Monaco? Sounds FABULOUS!
How's the weather? What's the food like on the campus? Is this going to count for graduation?
