London & Birmingham. By Christina.

It's been an extremely busy week for me.
First of all on Tuesday evening I went to Birmingham Symphony Hall to watch a world famous pianist called Kissin (He's German.) and there was a famous russian conductor, I cannot remember his name! The whole orchestra was amazing!! I think that was the first time that I had seen a proper orchestra live!

I also went to London yesterday which was absolutely amazing! We went to the Royal Opera House to watch a schools matinee of "The Magic Flute". The woman who played the Queen of the Night had a breath-taking voice, I've never heard such a great singer. The orchestra again was really really good. I will post a picture of the Royal Opera House sign soon.

I walked down Drury Lane!! I will never forget that moment- seeing the "Drury Lane" sign!!! We also walked past the theatre which is doing "The Lord of the Rings"! How cool is that?

This afternoon I am going to the Town Centre with a couple of friends which should be good.

Baking Moments.

This week has been so busy that this afternoon I decided I was going to bake something for dessert. It was a quite random thought and I didn't think it would happen because sometimes when people have amazing ideas they don't happen. I was inspired by the weekly cooking programmes on television and thought that I could do just as good or better than the chefs on television.
I made some chocolate chip cookies which were absolutely delicious. Photos to follow.
I used belgium chocolate which is the best chocolate in the world! Don't you think?
Anyhow I shall continue having "baking moments" and update you all on my amazing products.

London

Well I've had a busy week! I went to London for two days!
I did so much. On the first day we went to the British Library which was really cool as we saw manuscripts from musicians like Wagner. It was amazing! We also saw the magna carta with the seal which was sealed by King John. The most memorable things on display were the beatles original song lyrics written by themselves on scraps of paper (A hard days night)and a handwritten play written by Shakespeare. I felt so priviliged. We stayed in a backpackers' hostel! We went to Oxford Street, Covent Garden and Leicester Square. It was great! We saw "Cabaret" starring Julian Clary and Amy Nuttall (Emmerdale). On the Wednesday we went on the tube and the millenium bridge. We also went to the Globe Theatre and The Tate Modern to see the famous earthquake crack thing. We saw: the London Eye; St.Paul's Cathedral; the Webley Stadium from a distance;

Last Sunday

Last Sunday we went to Haughmond Abbey near Shrewsbury. Here are some photos that we took.




It was a nice afternoon out!

I am really enjoying college! Its really fun but you get a fair bit of work to do! Haha!

Jonathan went away with the Boys Brigade over the weekend which I think he enjoyed!
I however had a cold and sore throat all weekend however we went to Coalport China Museum in Ironbridge this afternoon which was quite fun as we painted on paper plates! I love painting!

First Day at New College

It was my first day at New College today!
It was really fun and I can't wait for tomorrow!
I met my new form tutor who is my theatre studies teacher which is really good.
I've learnt loads of new names and got my New College ID card which is funny because I look really white faced!
I had a good theatre studies lesson it was really funny and exciting however we did get set homework but it was alright as we got to pick a film and analyse it from an audience member's point of view. I chose "Hairspray" as its the best film ever!
