Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends too!
I had a great weekend around London. On Friday, I had my last theatre class and have been spending a few hours here and there this weekend writing my final paper for the class. Friday night my program organized an event called "Clubbing with the Brits" at this place called "fabric." It was definitely an interesting experience- never been to a club that big, but my friends and I had a great time.
After a few hours sleep, I met up with 2 friends from class and we sp
ent Saturday in Oxford! One thing I didn't know is that Oxford University isn't actually one university with one campus- all of the colleges within the town are collectively called Oxford University, and there were MANY beautiful campuses to check out! Naturally, we headed directly for all the spots where parts of Harry Potter were filmed. Here's the staircase that's seen in the first movie when all the students are lining up for their grand entrance into Hogwarts! We saw several other churches, towers, the Oxford Castle, and naturally ate lots of delicious foods and did some souvenir shopping as well :-) Those last two parts are some of my activities that I do best over here!

I was fortunate to be given two AMAZING seats at the Fulham Football Club, and although I admit I'm not a huge soccer fan (I actually know absolutely nothing about the game) it was a really cool event to watch- such emotion from the fans! Below is a pic of the view from our seats- couldn't have asked for anything better! Now it's just some more studying, and I keep reminding myself that once I take this final and hand in my paper, I'm done with the majority of my classes, and I'll be off to BARCELONA! for spring break on Wednesday...can't wait!
