Modern Art

Today was pretty warm here in Nice, but it's ok because we spent most of the day inside.  We went to the Modern Art Museum and also the library.  They were both pretty neat to see.
I was surprised to see that they used the Dewey Decimal system here in France.  I think I like the Library of Congress better, but at least it wasn't foreign to me.  It's amazing how much more interesting libraries become after you've worked in one.  It's amazing how much you can do in a library.  I know you're all wondering so I'll say it, even though the library was pretty big and impressive here, I think the one at UVU was nicer.  We're very lucky to have the library we have at UVU.
I really liked the modern art museum too.  There were some pieces I found really fascinating and others I found boring or even bothersome.  I guess the purpose of art is to get a reaction out of you, so it worked.  My favorite piece was of a dissembled table (I'll post a picture of it).  Even though it wasn't in the shape or a table, your brain automatically knows what it is and puts it together.
Another piece I liked, I'm pretty sure wasn't even supposed to be there.  There was this face drawn on notebook paper and posted on the wall with scotch tape.  We stopped and were examining it, then we realized it didn't have a plaque.  I think someone just put it up, but it still got us to stop and consider it.
I feel my French is getting better.  I can for the most part understand when people talk to me, and I'm getting much more confident in responding back--even though I'm far from perfect.  I like the class I have here because it goes through all of the grammar very quickly, but I remember it quickly.  It's like I just needed a little reminder
