Today was so much fun! Last night Christa and I decided we would leave the house around 8:30 to go find a spot for Trooping the Colour, but Mom found a website that said some people camp out over night for a spot! I was so upset because this is such an experience. We took the tube to St. James's Park right next to Buckingham and nobody was there except for the guards! We were thankful for that. Since nobody was around we left our "spot" and got coffee a...

Wimbledon was the best! I had no idea how big it actually was. They have at least 16 tennis courts that I counted. Our guide said they have grass, clay, and American courts. He took us all throughout the club. We got to sit in the Royal Box at Centre Court too. It's so hard to become a member. First to apply you have to have a recommendation from 4 people of the same gender as you who are already members! There's more to the application, but basically it's tough ...

I didn't really have anything special scheduled for today. I was going to sleep in later than I usually do because I still haven't caught up on any sleep.

Yesterday was so much fun! I got tickets to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. It was such a good deal too. They were normally $100 tickets, but our University got them for $30. We were in the stalls on the main floor. We took the tube to get there and it was right at the end of rush hour, thank goodness, because there's no air conditioning in them and it only gets hotter with more people in them. The theatre is so old and there's no air conditioning in t...

Today was really busy, but so much fun! I had my first class today and found out that I get to meet a member of Parliament and get a sort of backstage tour of Parliament and meet some other Lords. Class should be fun, I love British politics. I also got to sign up for a lot of cultural events today. I'm seeing Wicked tomorrow at the Apollo Victoria Theatre and the Fantastic 4 London premiere is also tomorrow night. I really should get to bed though, but I'll post...
