I can’t really think of a cooler place to turn 21 than in London! I was sad to be away from all my friends and family in the states on this monumental occasion but being in London made it feel a little better. I got a lot of cards from home and friends so thanks so much for making me feel so loved on my birthday. Normally I would have my internship on Wednesdays but because I worked at the fashion show on Tuesday, I got my birthday off! My birthday celebration started Tuesday evening. My flat mates got me a card, which was really sweet and then we were off to one of our favorite spots, Sports Café. All my closest London friends were there which was really special for me. I spent the evening doing what most people do on their 21st birthdays! My friend Courtney told the DJ it was my birthday, without me knowing. He stopped the music and called me out and wished me a happy birthday. I was really embarrassed. The rest of the night people kept coming up to me and wishing me happy birthday! One guy even picked me up and spun me around! Then at midnight we all screamed and laughed because I was officially 21! I slept in on my birthday and then my roommate Amelia and I went to the Tower of London. It was touristy, but very fun. We saw the Crown Jewels and just walked around the grounds. On the evening of my birthday we went to see a play for my theatre class. Someone else who was there to see the play was none other than a man named Alan Rickman, aka SNAPE from Harry Potter! After the play I saw him and asked if we could take a picture and he said we couldn’t take a picture in the theatre and then walked away. Oh well. Here are some pictures of my birthday festivities...
