Wow....can you believe that I have made it 3 week and I'm still blogging. I'm so proud of myself TBH!!!
I started my weekened off feeling a little bit under the weather, so I just rested for a few days, but on Sunday our school took us to Oxford, Oxfordshire!
We left London at about 8am and it was raining and cold, and by the time we got to Oxford it was freezing rain, snowing, and windy....basically the perfect recipe for a disastrous day. My day in Oxford made me realize how much I loved my friends that I have made across the pond, becuase even though we were walking around in windy freezing rain, I still had so much fun. Being the Harry Potter nerd that I am, Oxford was literally like heaven for me. A lot of the scenes filmed in Harry Potter were filmed in Oxford.
THE HARRY POTTER STAIRS :D
Me standing where my president, Emma Watson once stood
Me falling down the famous staircase
This was also where they filmed some of the Quidditch scenes. Most famously, the scene where Draco called Hermione a "mudblood" and then Ron told Draco to "eat slugs"...anyways it was pretty amazing to be standing in the exact spot where love was invented.
Here is my snapchat story from this fun day in Oxford. I had a little too much fun making Harry Potter refrences. Also idk if that video is going to work I've never done this before but whatever you get the point of this.
I didn't really do much on Monday and Tuesday because I had classes, but on Wenesday a few of my friends and I ventured off into centralish London and walked along Oxford Street. As you can see, I made an important purchase, a bowl of pasta from the cafe down the street. Anyways I made my friend take a photo of me becuase I was feel very /London/
Back to the Topic of Harry Potter......I was on my computer Tuesday evening and I decided to look at tickets for Cursed Child. If you don't know, Cursed Child is the 8th story in the Harry Potter Seris and it's been brought to life as a play! It is basically impossible to get tickets to and every single time I have looked tickets have been about $300 and I ain't no Rockafeller so my ass was convinced I would never see miss cursed child.....that was until I looked at tickets for the next day. When I was looking, I saw a ticket to both parts for $30. I literally didn't even think about it, I just bought it. I had to miss my afternoon class to see it, but honestly it was the best decision I have ever made.
I read the script for Cursed Child when it came out a year ago and lowkey hated it lmao. I felt like I was reading a really bad fan fic. But let me tell you!!! The play is 4853902394589345823049582xx better than the book. Seeing everything brought to life on stage was so amazing. I really wish I could describe the play to you but the only thing I can think of is magic. The set, cast, special effects, music, everything ...AMAZING. Seeing my favorite characters, characters I have grown up with, on a stage, it really felt like I was right there with them. It was a long ass day. I was at the theatre for about 10 hours, but it was worth every hour and $7 glass of wine I had while I was waiting between parts.
Okay so basically all I did last week was Harry Potter related things but what else would you expect from me? I am going to Paris this weekend so my proffessor that gave me B- in French 1 last semester is shaking. Je veux du vin! Ou est le metro? Je vais manger du pain!
Au revoir!
