As soon as it dawns, the alarm clock starts ringing and we're awake. After getting ready, we head to the canteen for breakfast - usually a piece of baguette with jam, orange juice, and "a bowl of cocoa :)." At 7.30, we have to take our backpacks and leave the dormitory.
Depending on the day, we straightly head to our first lecture or wait in the "Salle d'études" or the "CDI" (which is a library). We usually try to get as much work done as possible, since the school usually finishes at 5 o'clock, so there's little space to manoeuvre.
Our morning classes finish at noon, which means only one thing - lunch break! During this break, we chit-chat with the other foreign students, but most of the time with girls from Austria, with whom we share the bathroom and have "connected rooms."
In the afternoon, we carry on with our lectures. At 4 o'clock we have a longer pause for "le goûter," or a coffee, which is simply a must after a whole day of Géopolitique, Historie, Anglais, Littérature, Philo, Enseignement civic et moral, and Enseignement scientifique. So flat white it is...
After our lessons are over, (around 4 o'clock) we've got a couple of hours to space, because the "l'internat" reopens at 6 o'clock. Since the weather has been great lately, we're trying to be outside as much as possible to get some vitamin D. We sometimes diversify the afternoon by visiting a Turkish market, walking around the campus, or simply reading in the sun and chilling with others.
At half past 6, we have dinner, which is nothing less than a social event. Afterward, we have fun playing Canasta (a card game) with our "almost roommates." The day ends around 10 o'clock by finishing the last bits and pieces of schoolwork and reading in bed.
À très bientôt!
