Four Weeks Here!

Today makes four weeks since I arrived at Angers; hard to believe. Unfortunately the strike continues. In fact, the organizing students of the strike (the AG) barracaded the classroom building this past Wednesday so that students could not attend classes. Students were turned away from the building and professors did not show up. Many professors support the strike. The blockade will continue until the AG votes again on Feb. 24th. Therefore, classes were not held this past Wed. through today (Friday). Tomorrow we start a one week vacation, but the blockade will still be there when we finish vacation by the 23 of February. At this point I am very worried.
