Entre Les Murs

First Day of Class

I had my first French class this morning. It was supposed to be Tuesday, but instead of my first class, there was my first transit strike. Many of the Alliance Française staff couldn't make it or were late. My teacher was sick, and although all the students made it to class, the school couldn't find a substitute until Thursday.

The students are mostly young, and are very diverse. For the purposes of an exercise the teacher sought to separate people of like nationality. She went around the room and found she didn't need to move anyone.
