Parisian Hollywood

SO the most exciting thing that's happened to me since my last post was...

I saw Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen! 

(not my picture...), a few friends and I stopped into a FNAC, which is similar to a Best Buy, and as we were gathering by the door to go, we spotted them!  Just hoppin' on the escalator to do some shopping.  Since Cannes Film Festival just ended on Sunday, I guess a lot of celebrities will be in town: I am keeping my eyes open for them!

Other things I've done include mainly studying, babysitting, shopping, and lots of picnics!  Since I don't have my 8am course this week, it's been wonderful to sleep in a bit.  Tomorrow I have my oral exam: I'm still not exactly sure how I'll come up with enough French to talk about a picture for 12 minutes..but at least it will be over with.  Tomorrow night is our farewell dinner: sad but it will be fun to dress up and go to a nice restaurant with everyone (for free!)  We are going to Le Grand Colbert which is where part of Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton was filmed!  

The film was also shot in Place des Vosges, which is quite near my student center and I walk through it all the time.  Mom--prepare the DVD so I can watch it when I return to chez nous!

Also...today is my friend AMANDA'S 21st birthday! I can't wait to see friends and family when I get home!
