This past week has been the most amazing week of my life. Monday wasn’t that eventful. Tuesday was boring because I class all day but at night we had “Soulja Boy” night. We all got dressed up gangsta and went down into the classroom and projected the Soulja Boy music video on the screen and learned the dance. It was so awesome! Wednesday we had our day trip to Oxford. It was beautiful! I was like a countryside village. I first walked around with Professor Talbot as he walked around the school, explaining the educational system to us. Apparently, Oxford is a university broken down into different colleges, like at BYU I am in the Home, Family and Social Sciences college. Bu when applying to Oxford, you don’t apply to the university, but you apply to your certain college. Each college has its own building, dining hall and dormitories. We walked around all of them, and they were gorgeous. Those buildings have been around since the 1300’s, maybe earlier. C.S. Lewis taught at one of the colleges. At the Christ’s Church college is where they filmed Harry Potter, so we walked around the Great Hall there. We just strolled around the city, went to a covered market where we went to “ShakeAway,” the best little hot chocolate/,milkshake store I had ever been to. I got a peanut butter hot chocolate.

Thursday I didn’t have class so Emily and I went down to Leicester Square and got Wicked tickets! So Thursday night we saw WICKED and afterward we met the cast! Friday was probably the best day by far! We went to Hampstead Heath, a residential area outside of London where a lot of stars like apparently. We just strolled through the park, which was fun and I bought a book at a little bookshop. BUT, the best part was that night. We were all sitting around (Kristen, Brittney, Amy, Emily and I) and Kristen told us that we should go stalk down Ewan McGregor after his performance tonight. He’s in the play “Othello” right now. So we decided earlier on that we were going to go, but when the time came Amy and I were too tired so we almost backed out. But we decided to go down to Covent Garden and we waited out by the stage door for half an hour. It was so funny because we were all so excited and Brittney and Emily were too nervous so they kept walking around. Emily kept freaking out that the cops were going to come because we were “loitering” and then Brittney pulled on the door of a store and Emily said the cops were coming then because the alarm was going off, even though it wasn’t! But finally after ½ an hour the door opens and Othello comes out. 5 min later – EWAN MCGREGOR! Kristen just ran up and asked him for an autograph. I asked him for a picture and BAM – there it is! That’s how we do it! It was the best night of my life! I love my roommates so much! I love spending time with them all because we’re all so different so it’s never boring.
