Last night, July 26th, was the night of our anticipated (?) talent show! We practiced all day yesterday for our respective acts (albeit a little reluctantly), and in the end, it was a crazy night (for me anyway).
I had practiced my song "Sur Mes Gardes" with Sam and made a video with Morgan, Rachel, Rachel, Anne and Shannon (see below), but when I arrived at the "Mini Boule" they realized that Macs didn't work with the projector...apparently I was the only one with a PC, so I had to go back to my host family's house, grab it, and then made sure it worked. It did, after some fumbling around. But then there was a problem of converting the video from a Mac to a PC, and then, to my dismay, my mousepad didn't work because it was disabled during the fumbling around (I didn't realize how it was disabled until afterwards). Thus, I had to maneuver through the flash drive to find the videos--all through the keyboard. And then there were problems with volume, etc. Meh. I learned that Macs and PCs do not mesh well.
Aside from that, everything went well--our host families were too nice, and we had some funny, as well as "aww pretty" acts; Parker and Drew sang "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber (in French and English), a few did skits of the Three Macarons and Little Red Riding Hood, Sam and I sang, Emma and Nikki danced, Bridget and Christina showed off their drawings, others did a photo montage, the summary video, and of course, some girls did danced to the MIKA song "Elle m'a dit" in these neon color, retro swim suits from H&M--it was pretty epic. But here's some little samples:
Voilà the video that I helped film and make! A little nostalgia...
