The director of the French language school reviewed my placement test and got back to me very quickly yesterday. I actually placed higher than I thought, despite mentioning that I'd prefer to be placed slightly lower than my responses may warrant. The main issue with that is that that level and all higher ones only have classes during the evening hours. Only the lower level has daytime classes. Going to the last session of the lowest level would be four sessions lower than the session she recommended. I guess I don't want that elementary of a level, but I really wanted something more to do during the daytime hours. Evening hours are so hard for me for a few reasons, most notably because I tend to drop out of things that regularly meet at night. It hasn't always been that way, though.

My husband is now discouraging me from taking the class. That makes me sad. I'm considering taking it anyway. I will meet with the instructor before that session starts to double confirm if the level placement is right. If it is, I'll perhaps push myself hard. There are 10 class meetings in that session. Even if I only made it to seven of the 10 it could be worth it. These are group classes. All other group French classes available (in all places) are at night. Private lessons are outrageously expensive, plus I'd kind of like being around multiple people. It would be good for me. French is important because we may be moving to France in the next few years. I'd like to be able to speak good French when we go. This school offers several levels and many other seminars and get togethers for French practice. To finish their highest level, it would require two years more of study. Arriving in France with poor French language skills would be too stressful for me. This school is the best value around. Summers are off, so it's not like I wouldn't get a break after the upcoming 10 class session. This is the last of the four sessions in that level.

Simple day for me today. I'm just doing light housework. Tomorrow night we go to a concert.
