Lycée Polyvalent Robert Garnier

As you might now I am currently a student at Lycée Robert Garnier.
What you might not know is who it was founded after.
Soooo get ready to learn.

Robert Garnier (1544-1590) was a French tragic poet.

 In his early plays he was a close follower of the school of dramatists who were inspired by the study of Seneca. He then began writing tragedies around 1570s and 80s. These include Marc- Antoine, La Troade and Antigone.

Then in 1582 and 1583 he produced his two masterpieces Bradamante and Les Juives.

 In Bradamante, he cut himself adrift from Senecan models, and sought his subject in Ariosto, the result being what came to be known later as a tragicomedy. The dramatic and romantic story becomes a real drama in Garnier's hands, though even there the lovers, Bradamante and Roger, never meet on the stage.

Les Juives is the moving story of the barbarous vengeance of Nebuchadnezzar on the Jewish king Zedekiah and his children. The Jewish women lamenting the fate of their children take a principal part in this tragedy.

Considering his published works, Gamier could be regarded as one of the greatest French tragic poets of the Renaissance or as precursor of the baroque theater of the 17th century. And from what I have read about him he also exercised a major influence on the development of Elizabethan tragedy.

Hope you now know a little more about my school.

And now for some current information on the same topic: 

Due to the current downpour of snow there is no interns* present today. Instead they have all been sent back to their warm little houses.

To top it off there is also no buses. This means that everyone that lives in the surrounding little towns are also nice and cozy at home. Leaving only the incredibly diminute amount of student who actually live at La Fèrte Berndard with the chance to attend school. An opportunity that most do not take advantage of.

This is why last Friday and today there are only three other students and I present from my class.

Pfff.. I would much rather be sleeping at this moment ( especially after the exhausting weekend) but oh well only 7 more hours left.

*Interns are the students that from Monday morning to Friday evening are (normally) here and sleep at the school in rooms of four to six students.They also eat their meals here and are forced to live acordingly to a certain schedule.

Now dear readers, do not feel scared to leave a comment to share how the weather is where you are and how things are going in general.
