Celeb sightings

It's been a whole week since I've updated this thing last!  So a few fun things have happened this past week!

I went to the Globe theatre on Thursday, which was pretty cool.  It's not the original one because the old one burned down a long time ago.  It's in almost the same location and looks exactly the same.  It was cool because I've learned about it in school and how it doesn't have a roof, and it's cool to like see it in person.  It has such a history so it was nice to see what I've heard about all my life.

Where the original Globe was

Inside the reconstructed Globe
On saturday we woke up at 9:30 to tour Westminster Abbey!  I've been waiting for this our since we got here!  I STILL have Royal Wedding fever :)  It was soooo cold out though!  I didn't wear anything too warm because my roomies and I live about 5 minutes from Westminster Abbey and I assumed we wouldn't have to wait too long outside.  I was wrong.  We waited like 30 minutes for the rest of the group to show up.  We finally got inside and it's like barely heated!  I was freezing inside!! We toured around and it was sooo awesome to see where Kate and Will got married and walk in their footsteps.  We coulnd't take pictures inside though.  But there are a ton of famous people burried there like Charles Dickens, Winston Chirchill, Charles Darwin and so many other historical figures along with kings and queens.  It was GORGEOUS on the inside too.  The amount of craftwork that went into the ceilings and statues was amazing.  I'm planning on going back...only on a much nicer day.

Outside hallways.  Some Harry Potter scenes were inspired by this!

The courtyard.  HP was inspired by this too!

On Moday night we went to a show called The Bee for out theatre class.  It was HORRIBLE.  I hated it. ugh.  But I think I was supposed to leave feeling confused..idk it was stupid.  The only good thing about it was that the main character was Mrs. Figg from Harry Potter!  I didn't know it at the time but once our teacher told us, I was like OMG!  Her name is Kathryn Hunter.  She's a great actor, but I hated the production she was in haha.

Then on Tuesday we went to Britain's Got Talent!  And yes, Simon Cowell was a judge!  And yes, he is  heartless, but in a funny way.  Carmen Elecrta was there too.  She's so stupid though.  Like literally, I don't know how she graduated high school.  We had great seats though!  We hade to be like 10 feet from the stage and about 20 feet from where the judges sit!  Only, it def wasn't as cool as watching it on TV.  There's no dramatic music to accompany the wins/loses on stage.  I'm excited to watch it on TV in april!

Waiting outside!

Simon and Carmen!

The rest of the week wasn't super cool.  Until today!  Dan Radcliffe was at the iTunes store on Oxford today!  We was promoting his new film, The Woman in Black!  Ah, I love him :)  This is time #3 that I've seen him.  He has to recognize me by now! hahaa.  I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing him!!

My good friend, Dan
