chateau fontainebleu and st. denis

Today, Micefa arranged a day trip to Fontaineblue, just 55 kilometers southeast of Paris. All the kings have lived there dating back to the 12th century. We had to wake up early and be at the office by 9 (blech!). Our profs were there too, and they gave us these scavenger hunt kind of things to do, a 3 page paper with questions to fill out as you go through the chateau. I was not expecting that, I just wanted to enjoy the day and tour and take pics, but some of us felt really rushed and anxious to get the paper out of the way in order to enjoy the day. Oh well. This is a library that we saw:
Besides the homework, I did enjoy the castle. It was so beautiful. I stood at this window of one of the private rooms for the Queen, and I thought about whether she stood were I stood and looked outside, and it felt eery, but cool. Just to be surrounded by so much history and opulence. The grounds as well were tres cool. There was a carp pond, and we had a picnic that my friend Derek planned on this grassy area by a canal. It was so beautiful. We all brought our own sandwiches and stuff to share. I went to a boulangerie nearby and bought a sandwich and this loaf of sweet bread that had candied oranges in it. It was delicious. It was really sunny, and the boys, Derek and Kris, were like, "Let's go in the shade!" And they were totally griping about the sunshine. But us girls, Keisha, Lucia, Megghann, and I were all, "It's so nice out!" And then it was getting really warm, so we were all, "Okay, we'll go in the shade if you boys move everything." And they gladly did. The boys are so hilarious and add a much needed humor to situations. Here's the secret passageway to the picnic spot:Anyway, it was an awesome day trip and loads of fun. Yesterday was cool too, we saw 2 Days in Paris, and it had some good parts. I really like Adam Goldberg, he's a really good actor even though he gets typecasted a lot.

I'm really happy today for two things:
1. Yesterday, a lady asked me, while I was walking down rue de Rivoli, if I knew if there was a cinema nearby. And I said I didn't know, sorry. What makes me happy is that she thought I was a Parisien! She didn't think I was a tourist! And a "cinema" of all things! Film is all around me.
2. My ex roomie, Kathy, said that I looked like a film director today, and that made me happy. I was just wearing a button down shirt, jeans, and my Ray Bans, as you can see in the first photo. Nothing special. But it made me really happy. During one of our conversations when we were rooming together, I mentioned that I was interested in being a casting director, and she said her aunt's a casting director in LA. She said that she'd be happy to help me out and get me in touch with her. So cool! It's all about who you know.

I also visited St. Denis, where I'll be studying. It's quite a metro ride away, but I plan to have all my classes in the morning. I was told that their film department is small but good, kind of like SFSU. I hope to get more into French though, but we'll see. I was told that a lot of IP students have done well in their film program, and I feel all sorts of pressure to do really well too. I'll try my best.

If you haven't noticed on the left, I've been adding more and more photo albums to my photobucket, so you can check those out. I've updated "delicieux" and added a "fontainebleu" album. Enjoy!
