Here's another French music video: this song is featured on the season preview for Gossip Girl (the best show ever)

So in just a few weeks, my big trip will begin. Although I’m still at an intermediate French language level, I hope living in France for awhile will really help my French understanding/conversational skills which is what I’ve always found to be harder than reading the language. I’m also excited for the amazing food, scenery, night life, and shopping that awaits me in the City of Light!
So here’s just a little about what I will actually be doing in Paris: I will be a student in Northwestern’s Public Health Program, which takes place at Sciences Po (http://www.northwestern.edu/studyabroad/programs/profiles/europe/France/Public_Health_Europe/index.html). My classes will be in English, except for my French language class. I’ll be living with a host mom in the 15th arrondissement, who I have been told has a dog and is a really good cook. My commute to school will only be about 15 min. on the Métro. In addition to taking classes, my program also involves some weekend trips to Normandy and Geneva.
