It’s been a long and detail-oriented past couple of years getting back into French, but I passed my C1 exam at the French Institute in December just a week or two after I returned from Athens (it was cutting it close, but I made it!), and then I got accepted to four French Literature Master’s programs: three at the Nouvelle Sorbonne of Sorbonne University, and one at Columbia University.
I’m still waiting to hear from Paris IV Sorbonne University, whose professors have given me some inspiring feedback on my research proposal, and where I hope to be accepted…
Regardless, the likelihood is that I will be studying Henri Bergson and Flaubert in French this autumn, thus merging my previous studies of cinema and literature. Excited, especially because I also expect that the script I’ve been working on for many years now will be completed before then.
