1st week in Valence!

It's been a pretty chill week as most of my classes are with the 5th year students who doesn't start till next monday. So have had plenty of time to discover the town,

View of the Rhône from a park (can't remember the name) 

Get to know Ipanema, our cat. Who also  seems to enjoy a nice view :)

Ipa in my window

And make a trip to Grenoble to get my bike :D (and make another trip to La Bastille)

Me and my bike on the train 

I've also had my first classes in french, a class that isn't a french class to be precise. I was a bit nervous about that, but so far so good. It has mostly been repetition, which is kind of nice as it makes it easier to connect the technical terms in french to what I already know.

I've also managed to get my carte d'étudiant (third one this semester..) , my carte oùra (bus/train) and I hope to sort out a bank account and complete my inscription at ESISAR during the next week or two.  I've also had an IT course, a run-through of the school's system, the legalities and so on. Pretty straight forward  apart from the AZERTY keyboard...

Recon that will have to do for now. I wanna try my new bike!

À Bientôt!
