Alright! You, sir? How about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney!

So yesterday I was so tired! We got back from Rome at like 11pm on Saturday and then had to get up for church on Sunday and then class yesterday! I feel like I haven't had any time to sleep since I got back. However, I am so happy to be back in London! I'll hopefully get my post up about Rome soon but for now I want to make sure I don't get any more behind in my posts. Anyways, I was exhausted. So we went to class and then me and Brittany went to the Somerset House to see the Impressionist art exhibit. It was awesome! They had some paintings by Monet, Degas, Manet, and Van Gogh. I loved it! The Somerset House is beautiful, too! Then we came home and I got some homework done since we had like 4 things due yesterday! It was crazy. Then I had some dinner and we headed off to see Sweeney Todd! Finally!! I was so excited! And it was amazing! Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton were outstanding! They are great actors and I was surprised that Imelda Staunton could carry a tune! The lighting and the set were also fantastic. It looked like real sunlight was coming through the windows at times. I absolutely loved it! Then afterwards we went and found the stage door so we could get autographs and pictures. The guy who played the judge came out first and someone told him he did a great job being really creepy or something and he was like "I'm not really like that!" Haha, he seemed so nice! Some other people were coming out the door and this street vendor asked one of them if he oculd have their autograph and he was like "I'm not in it." And then walked away. We laughed so hard! Imelda Staunton said she doesn't do pictures at the stage door because it would add another hour to her trip home but we did get her autograph. Brittany had her notebook open to a blank page but there was writing on the opposite page so when she went to sign it she said, "Are those your notes? Am I signing my life over to you, all my money?" Haha, it was so funny! And she is sooooo tiny! She looked like she was smaller than 5 feet! Then Michael Ball came out and I got his autograph and a picture with him :) He was so nice and it was like I fulfilled a dream to meet him because I've been watching him as Marius in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Mis since I was 5 years old. It was great :)
