January 18th: the day of the BIG test. Although it was a Saturday, this was the day everyone in the Sorbonne would be tested to see if they learned enough to pass their level. It was like going into an 50s movie in this place. The building was called the Exam house (Maison des Examens) and the room I was in had desks lined in a row and it could easily fit over 150 people in there.

what I felt like taking the test because that is exactly how the desks were set up
my celebratory lunch! a croque madame with fries! aka a grilled cheese sandwich with ham and an egg
Update February 5th: I PASSED!!! The way you know is that they put your name on this list and if your name is on the list then you passed and if it isn't then you didn't. :D my name is on the list :D
See!!! go me!!
This is the wall of those who passed. Totally different than the States where you would've gotten an email or a letter privately telling you if you passed or not. Here its everyone's business to see if you passed or not. Its a strange strange world over here.
