There's an expression here in Paris or rather, a phenomenon. "C'est la rentree!" (The return.) This is when the majority of Parisians will leave the city for the month (or sometime during) of August for their vacation and then return sometime towards the end of August and/or the beginning of September. It is becoming more and more apparent as the metros and the streets are filled with more and more people.
Not much to report here, class started on Monday and it is essentially a French refresher course which has been nice. I've been pushing myself to really participate in class, more so than I would have back at SFSU. There's more of a motivation here.
Everyone here in my hostel from the CSU - IP program have started to or are in the final stages of finding housing and by Sunday we all need to move out and go live off on our own! Somewhat. We still have class together for the rest of the month, some of us are living together, and some of us are even going to the same University. It's gonna be tough not to have everyone just up the stairs from me but it's time to burst the California safety bubble!
And just so this entry isn't completely colorless enjoy this sunset as I did on the terrace with my new friends:
