International Festival de Cannes

The 62nd Annual Festival de Cannes starts today.

I work in-between the two biggest hotels that house all the stars - It is absolutely chaotic downtown! There is a giant transformer in front of the Carlton.

Also - I found out yesterday at our first day of "real work" that Diane Kruger is coming to a premier at the Miramar for one of her films and apparently it is supposed to be pretty crazy! I am working at that premier too!

I also got the afternoon shift - so I am working from 2:15-8:30 everyday with a half our break in there somewhere. The big showings are at 5:30pm and 8:00pm = crazy!! It's really nice though because I can go to breakfast and lunch at the college and then get dinner on my break. Works out quite well!

A friend of mine just showed up yesterday! Kari is visiting me for the duration of the festival. She got a pass and is going downtown to get it today. I feel bad because I'm working and going to classes (kind of) during the film festival so we wont get to see much of each other - thank goodness there is a beach here she can go to!

It is so cute seeing everyone at breakfast all dressed up for their internships! I don't work until later - so I will be dressed up at lunch! I also think it is about a 2mile walk to the Miramar from my school - the buses (as we discovered yesterday) have changed their route, so I have to walk! Thank goodness women have purses, because otherwise my feet would be killing me. Putting shoes in the purse and then changing them when I get there is an amazing thing!

I will try and take pictures of everything. The big premier of "Up" is tonight - if you haven't watched the trailer I suggest you do, it is so incredibly cute.

I also feel pretty cool walking around with my BADGE and my bag downtown; not going to lie!
