I have been in such a lull here. Nothing much to say. I don't have a ton of spending money so I haven't had the chance to do many things. There is a strike going on at my school but I want to assure you all that it is all ok. Nothing is effecting my courses. I also would like to upload some pictures soon.<br />

I have been sort of swapped with homework and classwork. More to come!!! :) Stay tuned.Caleb Pecuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860761518714137669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099124527914700778.post-5681792170107660422012-02-16T22:58:00.000-08:002012-02-16T22:58:16.083-08:00<br />

After been here for a month, I am finally learning my way around. I went to the Carnival in the city about a week or so ago. I did, however, manage to lose myself on the bus system prior to that day. I now know how to expertly navigate the system. Apart from that, I have received an assignment back, to which I received an A. Great. Also, I got the result of my test-of-unsurpassable-oral-difficulty; I got a C. Better than what I thought, so I'll take it. Now, knowing what to expect, I can better prepare myself for the next test. </div>

Things are going great, and my only regret is not keeping my blog up-to-date. I am spending alot of my time at my dorm but some of it spend doing other things, such as playing the pianos (which are only for the piano majors, but at least if someone says something, I can play the foreigner card and say that I didn't know, I'm foreign.) </div>

Next weekend, 24 February, I am going to the Coeur de Pirate concert in Montréal. I am overly excited for this. It'll be the first train I've ever rode in. Hopefully, I will update you soon with what happens.

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>French Grammar II (written) - I will be learning written grammar<i> (As if the name did give that away...)</i></li>
<li>French Grammar II (oral) - I will be learning oral grammar <i>(Once again, big surprise...)</i></li>
<li>Quebec Civilisation - I will learning the geography, politics, about the inhabitants, and etc...</li>
<li>French Evaluation II of written works, (Redaction de Textes Academiques II) - This will be the most challenging because although I am enrolled into <i>Rédaction de Textes Academiques II</i> the course was mixed with the course after which is <i>Rédaction de Textes Academiques III,</i> therefore I will have to work harder. Although the teacher did say that she will be "easier" on those who are enrolled in the 2nd year.</li>
</ul>

I'm going to continue my blog in just English for now because I know the vast majority that are reading these do not understand French. I arrived here in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on January 4th and everything was going to plan and I even managed to get off my plane at the same gate in Newark, NJ that I was needing to get on to go to Quebec (did you know that you can see the statue of liberty from there?). This was until l'Aéroport de Jean-Lesage where the man, who looked at my passport, failed to mention that the baggage claim was before those doors. I ended up leaving and had to sit and wait nearly an hour to get my baggage. When I got my baggage, I found a taxi without a problem, being that they were sitting right outside the airport with a giant sign pointing to them saying <i>Taxi</i>. I walked up to the man and figured, ok this is when I'll start using my french... <i>Here goes nothing! </i>As I am uttering my first word in French the man says, "Hello."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think to myself for a minute and respond back with a hello, of my own. <i>Why did he just do that? </i>We start driving down the street and the next thing I know he is hopping out of the van (yes, a taxi van), apparently he didn't get the trunk closed tightly. So, we are driving and I ask him what are some good places to eat around here, and he tells me, "Oh, we have McDonalds, Burger King, Subway<b>s</b> (yes, he did pluralize Subway) and we have KFC..." As he is rambling off everything we have in The United States, I look out the window and see the places in hopes of picking out an interesting restaurant because Mr. TaxiMan, wasn't helping. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

What I didn't expect is to have to pay that 50 cents or so it was for him to stop in the middle of the road and re-close the already closed trunk. I thank the man and we part for our separate ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I get to the housing office and ask for my keys... Nothing special there; the man gives me my keys and tells me I'm in 1411 Biersmans-Moraud. OK. I then trek out to find my room. I found it without any problems. Open the door. There is just what I need; it's not too small, not too large. Perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perfect was an overstatement that night, I come to find out. Being that I was limited to what I could bring with me, I obviously decided to bring close over bedding. I know at SIUE, there is a thing for our study abroad students to rent theses sorts of materials, given that they aren't exactly travel-friendly. Well, I suppose Laval doesn't have that or I haven't heard about it. It was below Zero degrees that night, and I had no blankets.... I had to use my coat and random hoodies to keep warm because apparently my room heater wasn't exactly working correctly. If it was working, I mustn't know what 70 degrees feels like. </div>

Il n'y a que 5 jours de plus avant que je m'en aille, et maintenant les choses sont devenues plus stressantes. J'ai encore des choses à faire; faire mes valises, ramasser les papiers importantes, et etc... Je suis sûr que cela sera facile mais il y a toujours quelque chose qui cause des délais. Bon, ce temps de la semaine prochaine, je serai à québec vivant ma vie québécoise.<br />

There is only 5 days before I go away, and now things have become more stressful. I still have some things to do; packing, collecting the important documents, and etc... I'm sure that this will be easy but there is always something that causes delays.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aujourd'hui, une Madame qui s'appelle N. Quimper et moi avons discuté le résultat du test de classement; j'avais reçu un 75 % et elle a dit que cela est très bon. Moi, je sais qu'aux états-unis, cela n'est pas vraiment bon. Elle m'a réassuré que oui, il est très bon, étant du niveau de FLE Avancé. Bon, ceci dit, il faut que je choisisse mes cours de FLE. Oh non, elle m'a dit qu'il est nécessaire que je prenne la 2e partie du test de FLS (Français Langue Seconde) pour vérifier que mes habilites sont pareil que les autres étudiants. Ici c'est le problème, il faut que je sois étudiant FLE, ne pas être un de FLS. Ok, je comprends que FLS est pour des étudiants qui sont plus avancés et il est vraiment cool que je puisse suivre les cours de FLS, mais ici j'ai une forme de classe qui corresponde de cours de SIUE et je ne peux pas les changer sans parler avec Julie et M. Mann. Donc, ce sera intéressant. On verra. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, a Ms. N. Quimper and I talked about the result of my placement test; I received a 75% and she said that this is very good. I know that in the United States, it's not that great of a score. She reassured me that yes, it is very good; being of the level of Advanced FLE. Good, that being said, it is now time that I choose my classes in the FLE program. Oh no, she tells me that is necessary that I take the 2nd part of the placement test for the FLS program to verify that my skills are equal to the other students. Here is the problem, it is necessary that I am a FLE student, not a FLS one. Ok, I understand that FLS is for the students more advanced and it is very cool that I can takes those classes, but here I have a form which corresponds to the classes at SIUE. I cannot change them without speaking to Julie and D. Mann. Thus, this will be interesting. We'll see. </div>Caleb Pecuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860761518714137669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099124527914700778.post-14570971230855450792011-12-20T08:40:00.000-08:002011-12-30T10:51:07.279-08:00Aujourd'hui, il faut que j'arrive à Edwardsville...<i>(en français)</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
Aujourd'hui, il faut que j'arrive à Edwardsville pour ramasser de l'argent financière en liquide. La Madame du bureau m'a fait un courriel répondant à mon message; elle m'a demandé, "est-ce que tu avais fait la demande pour le ramasser?" J'ai essayé de lui assurer de l'avoir donnée à temps au bureau. Avoir fait un courriel, j'ai décidé de lui téléphoner à la contacter plus rapidement; elle ne l'a pas décrochée. Donc, j'ai essayé de téléphoner le bureau directement; la madame-là m'a assuré d'écrire un message et le placer sur sa chaise afin qu'elle voie facilement. Ça m'étonne qu'elle n'ait pas trouvé une façon plus efficace de la contacter que placer une feuille de papier sur une chaise; cela demande d'avoir des ennuis! Donc, après avoir trouvé la feuille, la Madame m'a appelé me disant qu'il est essentiel que j'arrive au bureau pour ramasser de l'argent en liquide.<br />
<br />
Ça fait près de $6,000 en liquide; donc, cela m'a donné des frissons à penser. La Madame m'a calmé vraiment après avoir dit qu'il y aura une escorte de police qui me suivra à la banque. Donc, ceci dit, je le trouve vraiment déconcertant qu'une escorte de police est nécessaire! Mais, ça c'est la vie.<br />

Elle m'a dit, "étant que vous semblez incapable de le faire," que je le ferai quand j'y arriverai. Cela est si stressant, parce qu'en arrivant, il faut que je trouve ce qu'à faire.

Cependant, quand j'ai suivi le lien au test, j'ai trouvé qu'il y avait une erreur qui existait; je ne pourrais pas passé au test parce que le mot de passe qu'ils m'ont donné, n'a pas marché. Donc, je les ai envoyé un autre courriel, mais je suis sûr de ne pas recevoir une réponse jusqu'au moins d'une semaine; ils ne sont pas vraiment vite de répondre. Ceci dit, j'espère de savoir mon niveau avant de partir. Alors, je suis sûr qu’il serait plus facile de leur téléphoner, mais parce que j’ai AT&T, il est impossible à ce moment de le faire.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">(en anglais)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>Today, I received an email from Laval University which explained what I must do to take the placement test.

So, I sent them another email, but I am sure to not receive a response until at least one week; they are not very quick to respond. This being said, I hope to know my level before leaving. I am sure that it would be way easier to call them but because I have AT&T, it is impossible at the moment to do that.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>Caleb Pecuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860761518714137669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099124527914700778.post-49221496281803192462011-12-05T01:10:00.000-08:002011-12-05T01:42:23.881-08:00Au début,<blockquote></blockquote><div><i>(en français)</i></div>Bonsoir,<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maintenant, les journées sont si courtes; c'est-à-dire, il n'y a pas beaucoup de temps avant que j'arrive au Québec!

Ceci dit, je vais écrire en anglais juste après. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jusqu'ici, j'ai acheté mon billet de vol, les vêtements d'hiver, et j'ai bien accumulé les objets obligatoires tel que mon passeport et plus. J'ai déjà reçu ma lettre d'admission, et mon bail de hébergement, y compris toutes les instructions pour qu'à mon arrivé, je trouverai facilement la lieu où j'aurai besoin d'être. J'ai déjà peur, parce qu'au moment que j'y arriverai, il faut que je prenne un taxi à l'Université Laval; c'est-à-dire, il faut que je parle français l'instant que j'arrive.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Aussi, j'ai déjà des problèmes parlant avec les gens-là parce qu'il y a un question que j'ai demandé mais je ne reçu aucune réponse; néanmoins, j'espère d'en trouver une cette semaine prochaine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>(en anglais)</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hey,</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, the days are so short; that is to say, there is not a bunch of time before I arrive in Québec! And you know, I am really ready! I started to buy important things because it's necessary that I leave without delay and I don't want to be so cold on arrival! Let me explain to you how this blog will be written, I am going to write in french because in Québec everyone speaks french. This being said, I will write in English right after. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Up til now, I have boughten my flight ticket, winter clothes and I have collected the mandatory objects such as my passport and more. I have already received my admission letter, my housing lease which includes all the instructions so that on my arrival I will easily find the place where I will be needed. I am already scared because at the very moment that I arrive there, it is necessary that I take a taxi to the Laval University; meaning, that I must speak french the moment that I arrive. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, I already have some problems speaking with the people there, because there is a problem which I asked, but I have received no response to it; nonetheless, I hope to find one in the week to come. </div>Caleb Pecuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15860761518714137669noreply@blogger.com0
