I feel like so many things this week have been really unexpected. Not necessarily bad, just surprising. Who knew that dressing up as one of the six wives of King Henry VIII could be so much fun? My five roommates and I wore black, Burger King Crowns, lots of makeup, and little clues and I totally had so much fun. Side note: Clue is a really, really funny movie. Also, who knew that Portsmouth would be fun? Initially, I was not thrilled by the idea of looking at more boats all day, but it rocked! We had really good tour guides and took fun pictures with pirates and imitated our favorite Nelson quote all day. "Nelson's kinda ugly...Don't say that! He saved our lives!" (overheard by two ten-year-olds in Greenwich)I went to this thing called Best of Broadway on Thursday, which was the Royal Philharmonic with some Broadway singers. We had so much fun figuring out which song was which and where it came from! Yesterday, my Parliament experience was a big surprise as well! (Although not maybe in such a good way) We had already been out all day at National Portrait Gallery, Covent Garden Market, and Lillywhite's (best place ever for 7 pound replacement sweaters), so I was looking forward to Parliament all day. Then, we got the most revisionist guide in history. Apparently, the House of Commons does nothing, nobody liked Queen Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots was awesome, and all tyrant kings are from Normandy. I just kept looking at my friends like "What is she smoking?!?!?" Oh well, I guess you don't learn psycho history every day.
I just have to share this experience, because it was something that was so "me", but I didn't do it. To get to the Tate Modern, you have to follow these orange lampposts. My friend Kalais thought this was the coolest thing ever, and she wanted a picture. Genna and I were like, okay, there's one behind you, go pose with it. It was literally about six feet in front of her, but she totally could not see it. I had to walk her to it and point. I was laughing so hard, because I do that all the time!!!
