The semester is coming to an end which means that it is almost time for finals to begin. I am nervous because the French system bases 50% of the total grade on the final exam and the other 50% on participation and other miscellaneous grades. If I were in the United States at this time I would be freaking out about finals and drinking large amounts of coffee but I am somehow keeping it together here. Maybe it is because most of my teachers have been laid back when it comes to the previous assignments I have done. With this being said, they expect students to do each assignment thoroughly and correctly so we have to be self-motivated to do well in these courses.
One of the best parts of my French classes is being able to do group projects with other students from around the world. Most of my previous grades have been through group assignments and everyone assigns themselves parts so you are never stuck with doing something that is overwhelming or boring. Going to an international school has been one of the best experiences because I have made friends with students from France, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, and others. This is one thing that I wish the US did more of.
