Monday means a return to reality after the weekend in every country. Here in France especially since most places outside the touristy districts of Paris tend to follow the French tradition of closing on Sunday.
Sometimes it also marks the beginning of new craziness and such was the case today. After my Sorbonne professor, who I am now certain looks and sounds exactly like the French version of Maggie Smith, walked in and told us that she had some important news for us.
The news ended up being that we were to begin a 2-week phonetics course starting today that also happened to start only 30 minutes after her class. In all honestly, I had been forewarned about this course and should have remembered that it would begin today, however, in the rush to finish readings and do exercises last week I guess it just slipped my mind.
And so at 11h00 I ended up rushing alongside every other student and then taking the metro the entire 8 stops and 3-minute walk to the building where the phonetics courses are held.
