The First Day of classes! It felt as though I was in Kindergarten again. Thirty of us kids were walking to class together basically all holding hands. (not really, but it looked like we should have been…) We met our teacher at the University of Geneva where
we got a tour of the library. Honestly if I spoke French I would want to transfer, the Swiss know how to educate their youth. The school is very difficult and intense, but once the students graduate, some of the best jobs in the world are at their doorstep. After our tour we walked down to a different building where the classrooms were actually underground. Honestly sitting in that classroom felt like a prison; brick walls, no windows and very hot, but once I got used to the atmosphere the lecture was very interesting!
My professor is originally from Madagascar where he studied law and English is his fourth language. It will most definitely be an interesting semester, and I hope that I will soon be able to understand him fully… After class my roommate and I were exhausted, three hour lectures are not easy. We took the bus back to the apartment, where we sat in bed for four hours, before ending up at an Irish bar with a large group of naïve American college students.
