- how it is at the french school.
so the students here basically run the school. They own the studio spaces. Meaning, the professors do not go into studio, and then during class time they all meet in some other rooms. and not all students get studio space, one basically has to fight and claim space or make peace and kindle friendships with the older students because it is a huge hierarchial system here. The grad students (known as diploma students) are the one in charge of studio. as of now, I do not currently have a permentent space, I share a table with my firend Ted in studio 14, which I guess is known as the party studio (convienent how there is a party tonight). And some french students do not like us americans, they are quite bitter. I was told we have a rep to break from the previous year...maybe the americans were rowdy. And you do not really notice how loud and rowdy we are until you go to another country. Ted has been practicing his quiet voice because his voice carries really well. I have been quiet, mostly because I do not feel confident when i speak french. for an instance, the other day I said bonne journee (which means have a nce day) to my land lord and it took me 3 trys to say it in order for him to understand what I said. I must just sound stupid. I try to use some accent, not necessarily a french one but anything that doesnt sound american i figure might work but in the end I come up with something that sounds like garbilished blurred words from some other foriegn land....oh the difficulties of living in another country.
tonight ill learn some french. you take the night off.
