Well, it indeed has been to long since i updated you online journal. I have been quite busy as of late. It is my friend Benoits last week here before he heads off to grenoble for the week so I have been hanging out with him a lot! How can I put some sense and order to this past week. Last Friday I went out to an exposition over at the art museum here. I couldnt believe what was there. How can that be called art. It was an exposition of Vito
and it was modern art. It was neither sculpture nor painting though. There were some vulgur videos, and some weird music and the artist talking about his life or something. I think he is more concerned about making noise than making art. Art for shocks sake can often miss the point of art. This week I also went to the palace of justice here in Nantes to watch some of the cases being tried. It was real fascinating, but I wish I could have understood more of it. It is hard to hear people when there backs are to you. I also started my teaching intership this week. It was quite cool although I had to roll out of bed at 6:30 wed. morning. Oh that was painful. I worked for 2 hrs with 5 students between the ages of 20 and 24 on oral comprehension and on speaking skills. I am excited to continue with the work throughout this next semester. On Wednesday evening I went to laumônerie which is a place for catholic students in Nantes. It was cool to actually meet some young French people who are not family. Well, I hope I can take some more pictures sometime soon of all the stuff I am visiting. Send me an email sometime friends!
