Well, we are finished with the lectures. The students still have to take their final exams next week, and I have to grade those exams, but it's always nice to be finished with this portion of the semester.

| Don't they look excited and ready to take final exams? |
I'll go ahead and say this before I start grading their exams: I have really enjoyed this class. I knew about half of them from prior classes at FCSL, so I was looking forward to working with them in France. I also enjoyed meeting new students, both from FCSL and France. It's a quick semester, and I know they are distracted with traveling and sightseeing, but they seemed to be working hard and eager to participate in class.
This evening we have a "goodbye party" for the students, and our associate dean Rosa DuBose is in town to attend that party and wish the students well. (She also treated the American and French professors to a fabulous dinner last night - thanks!) Then the students get a long weekend to prepare for three days of exams - while the American Independence Day is not officially observed here (although we are grateful to the French for helping us in the Revolution!) the students will not have classes or exams on that day. Then the grading begins ... at a cafe or in the park!
