Monday, October 8. Christos is showing the apt to someone today at noon, which works out fine because I'm meeting Daniele and Jing Jing at the AF cafe at 12:30. Jing Jing is loaning me the book for the B2.2 level so I don't have to buy it. We have lunch at the cafe, and is this a revelation?! The food is good AND cheap.
My first class in B2.2 is fine, although I don't like the teacher as well as either Camille or Antoinette. I'm definitely going to stay in it for this week but then I'm going to consider some of the other AF courses (they have workshops on specific topics, such as grammar). Or maybe I'll just keep working with Camille independently.
I walk home from the Odeon metro station and stop in the Librarie Eyrolles (on Blvd St Germain) to see if they have any of the books I'm looking for. The shop assistant who helps me is very nice and ends up giving me a book in English! It's a British book for "children" called Children's Miscellany: Volume Two. Subtitle: More useless information that's essential to know. How nice is that? I find Les Malheurs de Sophie so get that and a few postcards, drawings of the Eiffel Tower done by students at the Ecole Emile Bolivar that I had noticed a few weeks ago.
Signs in Metro: Le Monde est Ovale: poems by E. dickinson, R. Burns translated into French. More on this later.
