Yesterday I had my first class at the University of Geneva (UniGe), called "La Suisse Politique" (Swiss Politics). The class is taught in French and there are roughly 150 students. The professor is really sweet and bubbly and honestly looks like she belongs at Smith. I wish she spoke a little slower, but she actually tries to engage the class with questions regardless of the size of the class. There is also a seminar attached, and we get a choice of two. One is more economics based, which is a bummer because the TA seemed nicer and spoke more slowly, but I'd rather take the government-based one with the TA who talks too fast and has an Italian accent. The material is a lot more interesting to me. I need to look at the syllabi to make a final decision, but I'm really not in the mood for an economics class in a foreign language.
I'm supposed to start my internship and tutoring at some point today, but neither has gotten back to me as to exactly what time. So here I wait, writing a blog post and watching TV on my computer.
