Oxford and Wicked!

This week has probably been the best week since I've been here! Everyday has just been packed with stuff to do. Tuesday I had class all day but at night all of us girls dressed up "gangster" and learned the dance to the "Soulja Boy" music video and then went out on the town dressed up. It was incredibly fun to see all these white mormon girls try to be thug. Wednesday was amazing. We took a day trip to Oxford. The town was so quaint and really Medieval. Oxford University has been around since 1600's I believe. C.S. Lewis taught at one of the colleges at Oxford so we went into that building. We went into Christ's Church college where Harry Potter was filmed! The great dining hall is where the movie was filmed. We visited the Baby and Bird pub, where C.S. Lewis and JR Tolkien met and discussed their scripts for Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings. We traveled down a Medieval pathway around the back of the city and went into some Botanical gardens. It was incredible!

Yesterday I didnt do much during the day but at night Brittney, Amy, Emily and I went and saw "Wicked!" I had already seen it before, but none of them had so that made it double exciting because I was so excited for them to see it! And it was amazing! Overall, I think i liked the LA performance better, but I think that's because I saw that one first. But I did like some of the characters better in this one. We waited after the play at the Stage Door for the actors/actressed to come out and we got pictures with Elphaba and Fiarro! Today we're going to Hampstead where famous people like Jude Law, Brad Pitt, Kate Winslet and other people live! And we're going to Abbey Road. I'm trying to get tickets tonight to see "Othello" because Ewan McGregor is the lead!
