Alors

So I have my finalized Spring schedule! Well minus the business classes. I am taking French 398: Directed Reading (Crash Course), French 317: Contemporary French Civilization, French 312: Writing in French I, French 398: Directed Reading. I am so excited! I fear I am out of practice though because this is the first semester that I haven't taken a French class. I am going to try to brush up a bit over Christmas break.

After Thanksgiving break we are going to have our last meeting before departing for Belgium! Ahhh!! I need to come up with a list of any last minute questions that I have because this is my last chance to ask. So far I want to ask:
• Did Philippe ever get back to you about what classes are available to me?
• Do you know where we will be living next semester?
• What are the exact dates of our holiday in January?
• Do I need to take a 400 level class to fulfill my minor requirements?
• What are the class times?

Also during this meeting we will get our international student ID card, our international cell phone, a guide book for Brussels, our insurance card & policy information, and we will also have to complete a couple of forms--one for our train pass and one to establish our contract for the courses that I will be taking at UCL.

I have been keeping an eye on the weather in Belgium and I am scared... Here is the forecast for the month of December:

Yikes!! And I am also going skiing during my break in the end of January so I am def scared of the weather! I went digging through my closet and found some ski pants and cold weather stuff from when I went to Quebec a few years ago so hopefully I will be fine. I have never been skiing before though so I am quite anxious but also very excited.
