Serendipity


On Tuesday I had a four-hour class in the morning that felt nothing like four hours, my teacher is slightly eccentric and very engaging. I really enjoyed it, and I believe everyone else did too.  It is the only class I have with all of, and only, the other Drexel students.  Afterwards I went to the Imperial War Museum; I would highly recommend it.  It is so nice that all the museums are free in London, you simply need to walk in the door and let the museum enrich your mind.  After that, my flatmate and I were walking to get some food and happened to see the paparazzi and red carpet for the GQ Men of the Year 2011 gala. So of course we ran down and saw John Legend and Tommy Hilfiger walking in.  Then we waited and saw some British superstars as well as U2, Hugh Laurie, the gorgeous Bradley Cooper, and my favorite, Emma Watson. Then we finally made it to a pub for some food. It was the most serendipitous and fun day. (If you have never seen the movie Serendipity or heard of the famous frozen hot chocolate from the restaurant in New York I’d suggest looking into both).  I know the pictures are not fabulous, but at least I have some!

{Self-explanatory and completely necessary. How ironic that I went here and then saw Emma Watson hours later?}

  1. I am so glad that you are enjoying yourself girlie!! Though that doesn't change the fact that I will forever be jealous of your encounter at the GQ event ;)

  2. First off, did you know that Bradley Cooper is from our area and, in the A-team, was wearing a Philadelphia Phillies shirt? Also, I'm very glad Emma Watson's hair is growing back.

    It's great to see you're having a good time! Now just visit Hogwarts, stalk J.K. Rowling's house, play capture the flag in real castles, and go see the Darkness!

    Only once you've done these things will you really have experienced England. I have to get back to work.

    British vocab for the day: Blimey - Another exclamation of surprise. My Dad used to say "Gawd Blimey" or "Gor Blimey" or even "Cor Blimey". It is all a corruption of the oath God Blind Me.

    Have fun!
