 Alright guys, we are back again with another video. This time a vlog actually. It's been a little while so I'm pretty excited. So as I mentioned in my past videos, I finished my freshman year at Yale. I got to go home for a couple weeks to relax with my family. And now I'm back here at Yale on the grind for four weeks where I'll be taking an intensive French class. And then that class will move to Paris for four weeks where I'll be taking another intensive French class. Obviously I can't wait for Paris but these past three weeks they've been quite the grind. I would have loved to film more vlogs or fun videos but to be honest there's really no one here and there's nothing going on here and pretty much all I'm doing is working all day. So it's hard to find time. I'm currently taking level three French except the problem is this is normally a semester long course and they're cramming it into four weeks. Which means that every day at class is pretty much a week's worth of content if it were taught during the year. And let me tell you it piles up very quickly. Alright enough of me just talking to the camera I just woke up. Alright enough of me just talking to the camera I just woke up. I'm not going to show you any of that boring morning routine stuff because no one wants to see that. Do you really want to see me brushing my teeth? No you don't. But what I will do is one of those cool clothes transitions things in the mirror let's see if we can get this right and three, two, all right I hope that worked. It's getting pretty late it's like 9.50 I class at 10 so I better head out. I'm on my way to class right now it is in WLH, Harkness Hall. And I'll check in with you guys once I get out to talk about what we're doing. Class is actually right in that classroom right there. So I'm here on break in front of the Bina Key Rare Manuscript Library. It's a pretty cool place on campus. I don't have a tripod so I'm just setting it right here on this little stand but it should work. So I'm back from class now it's about 2pm and it's time to get to work. So the daily work for my French class pretty much comes in three forms. The first of which is some ridiculously long listening exercises that go along with this gigantic course pack that we had to buy. This doesn't only take between an hour and a half and two hours each night. Then I have to do my assigned reading. Most of the time it's 25 or 30 pages but keep in mind it's entirely in French so it takes about three times as long. I'm currently reading L'étranger by Albert Rumeau which is French for The Stranger. A book that I had the great opportunity to read during my AP Lit class in high school which is nice to have kind of already be familiar with the literature before I dive into it in a completely foreign language. The third part of the class is studying and reviewing all the grammar that you learned in class because you pretty much have daily quizzes along with about a test or two each week. So if you're not studying every night and staying on top of your game you're getting behind. I'm going to get to work but I will catch up with you guys later. I was heading back from the gym and it just absolutely started pouring. I went back up to my room, changed real quick, took a shower. Now I'm going to go see some friends who are actually staying in the crew house. Man my lens is all foggy. It's so humid. Right, there's Sterling Library, this place is really pretty at night. My friends Owen and Aeton, you've probably seen them in other videos, are staying at the crew house right now. It was actually Aeton's birthday yesterday so I'm going to surprise them with some donuts from my favorite donut place on earth. Oh yeah. I only have three days left. Alright that was fun to see some friends again but it is 11pm and I still have a ton of homework to knock out before class tomorrow so let's hope it's not too late of the night. I just finished all of my listening exercises, outlined all the vocab words. I think I'm going to call it a night. It's getting pretty late, it's almost 1am, I'm going to head to bed.

If you're excited for me to finally get to Paris and see videos in Paris, definitely subscribe, like, all that stuff. Thank you for letting me share a day in the life of a Yale student during the summer. I know it wasn't super interesting but hopefully you guys got a peek into my life. That?
