Meme Day 20: A Hobby of Yours
I like to sing, dance, speak French, travel, take pictures, walk aimlessly around Paris, and edit videos (among other things). I'll leave it to you all to judge how good I am at the above (which is why I didn't post any of these under the "Talent" post XD).
The song is "Paris" by Camille, a brilliant French singer who is not only creative, talented and unique, but also really really smart - she studied at L'Institut d'Etudes Sciences Politiques (also known as the Sciences Po) in Paris, which is among les grandes écoles, or the best schools in France; her debut album, Le Sac des Filles, was her final project. This song is from that album, and was used for my own final project; my French professor had assigned us to make a music video about a song relating to Paris. Being absolutely in love with this song I snapped it up.
I was lucky enough to meet Camille after her appearance at FNAC (French version of Borders/Barnes & Noble) in April 2008 - she gave a mini-concert in a packed room, and I asked for a picture as she was leaving. Although she is fluent in English, we conversed a bit in French and she was super nice about everything (the picture and my French). My professor was shocked when I put this at the end of my Powerpoint, haha. I had a rather well-made project, if I do say so myself; not only was I the only one to do a full music video instead of a slideshow, but I had a nicely done Powerpoint and a picture with the artist. Needless to say, I got an A. :D
