Hello all!
It's been a while since I've updated so my apologies! I had quite the logistical nightmare organizing my teaching schedule, but finally I have it settled. I am now only teaching four hours a week at two different schools, one public and one private. This schedule works well as I have only one teaching assignment Thursday and am free all day Friday. This is really helpful as I have time to research for my thesis and do homework for my grad classes. We are well into the semester now and I am definitely feeling more busy. For our teaching program, we have to attend undergraduate classes at NYU to observe the professors. We have 7 total, 4 to observe specific techniques like directions, use of English in a French class, etc. and 3 general observations of many aspects of the course. Definitely a lot to juggle with teaching and other classes, but very valuable as well. Next week I will have a break from teaching as it is the French fall holiday, Toussaint. NYU also has the following week off for a fall break so I will be going to Prague with some friends in my program! I am very excited for that as I feel it is a much needed break! Last week, Devin was here and we did a ton of fun things! We went to a mass at Notre Dame, which included some peaceful protestors who had to be forcefully escorted out by security. We also visited Le Pantheon, Sainte Chapelle, La Conciergerie, the Eiffel Tour, a dinner cruise on the Seine and Arc de Triomphe. We also took a day train trip to Giverny to visit Monet's home and gardens. It was a great week full of things I loved going back to, and a few things I hadn't done before. In general, all is busy but well! I am excited for Prague and will definitely update about that!
Au revoir!
