Today was my long day of classes, which means an early
start. The weather, however, was incredibly
warm, which made it a lot easier to go out and face the day. In my first cinema class, which focusses on
Classic Japanese Cinema, we watched part of The
Seven Samurai, which spawned many foreign knockoffs, including The Magnificent Seven. After that, I had a test in one of my grammar
classes, which was not a problem.
Finally, in my lecture class for the cinema course, we watched quite a
bit of Citizen Kane and some others
from that period. All in all, not a bad
day of courses.
After class, some friends and I found a small café in
Montpellier’s Old District where we camped out and split a small bottle of
wine. It was very pleasant just to relax
in the sun amidst the ancient buildings and talk. Tonight I will be going to a conversation
hour event in town and then this weekend I will be visiting Arles with the
Minnesota Program, which is high on my “to-visit” list, as recommended by Mr.
Young. So, be prepared for a photo-bomb
next week when I get around to posting them.
