Non existent 4th of July

Today we celebrated the 4th of July with our first day of classes. I am in awe by the style of teaching and how passionate my teachers are about teaching us and making an impression. My wine teacher is a young, cute guy who owns the biggest wine bar in Paris, O chateau. We will be going to it a couple times throughout the class. Our culture class is also very interesting. At the end of class, our prof took us to people watch at the hotel de ville, a huge beautiful building with fountains. We were told to observe the people around and remember to discuss tomorrow. It sounds trivial, but our teacher seems to take the simplest things and make them very intellectual.
We just finished dinner at a pizza place with some of the other students from the program. Going to bed early tonight as we had a late night if getting lost after going out last night.
Bon quatre de Juliet!
