Foodie Adventures Seven Dials is a shopping village in Covent Garden that was originally designed by Thomas Neale in the early 1690’s. This area is formed of seven streets all coming to a point, being incredibly easy to spot on a map as it is vastly different to the rigid grid pattern most of London …

Hey…. Amy!
The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. This is a show that I have read and studied since middle school. Known for its autobiographical elements that are tested by the abstracted realism the play entails, this memory play was the show that launched Williams career. First premiering in 1944, The Glass Menagerie is about a family …
Life Of Pi- A Masterclass Showcasing Of Theatre
Life of Pi “I’m not really sure I want to go, I’ve seen the movie and I know the twist and stuff at the end, I don’t think I’ll enjoy it” These were the words that I spoke to the small group of us huddling in a small hotel room as we bought tickets and …

These Gothic Fan Vaults are Even Higher than My Expectations Were
Westminster Abbey This was the visit I had been most looking forward to on the trip. While I am naturally a fan of the neo-classical architecture that we saw at St. Paul’s Cathedral, I can’t pretend that I am not partial to the gothic aesthetics that are on full display at Westminster. While I couldn’t …

6/09 – London Day 17
Hello again! Today was a pretty laid back day for me, but it also kicked off my free weekend of the trip. The day started with an outdoor class meeting. We all walked over to a nearby park and talked about The Glass Menagerie, The Corn is Green, and The House of Shades. Whenever we …
Westminster Abbey
I knew nothing about Westminster Abbey before going. I knew it was supposed to be a beautiful cathedral with some buried people in it, but every cathedral we’ve seen has been beautiful and I think all of them have had people buried in them, typically old royals I’m unfamiliar with. You can imagine my surprise …
Westminster Abbey (Hey that’s me!)
Westminster Abbey was consecrated and finished in 1269. This Abbey holds over 3,000 dead, around 30 of which were kings and queens. There are several wings inside that include one for scientists, poets, actors, the Royal Tombs, and most famously, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. One memorial in the Poets Corner that stood out …
romantic bath fantasy dream day
Our visit to Bath was so dreamy to me. I tend to romanticize everything anyways, but here I felt like I hardly needed to try at all. The quaint streets, little bookstores, cafes, etc. already looked as though they were ready to be in some romance film. There were also street performers out everywhere we …
Tate
I have never been to an art museum dedicated solely to modern art. Truthfully, I have only been to a few art museums, all in the Tulsa area. The closest thing I have experienced to the Tate is the AHHA in Tulsa that displays local art in seasonal exhibits. Even then, it was nothing compared …
Why Can’t I stop crying?
To start this blog, I would like to be upfront and honest, I’m an emotional person. On a normal week in the states I will cry around 4-5 times on average. Normally not for a genuinely sad reason, but because I feel my emotions so heavily (especially happy ones) that I just have to. Today, …
