The Dark Knight Rises

Today...was...AWESOME. Our class went to the British Museum around 2 in the afternoon! It was a short trip but interesting nonetheless.

This is Cleopatra

Mummified kitties...aw :(

The first mosaic of Christ

2012 gold medals for the Paralympics

I didn’t make it to Harrods, but ya know how I mentioned the European premiere of the Dark Knight Rises? Well, I found out what time it started and a few friends and I got onto the red carpet! No, I’m kidding...but we did push and shove through a wet and smelly crowd to see some stars! We were in the second row.

Tom Hardy who plays Bane 

Marion Cotillard who plays Miranda Tate...she was also in a movie we just watched during class!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt...UH HUH! He plays John Blake

Batman himself...Christian Bale

Anne Hathaway plays Catwoman! In this picture she was signing a tiny little boy’s t-shirt and was so sweet! I could have reached out and grabbed her.

She touched Julia’s hand and left a pen mark

It was a really cool experience to be at a premiere...too bad we couldn’t see the movie yet! We also saw Morgan Freeman in the flesh!!!! We couldn’t snap a photo because he’s just too famous and walked too quickly.

After the premiere some of us went to a pub to grab dinner and now it’s time to play some Euchre! Tomorrow we have class and have the afternoon off. We will be going out to a club that’s open all night to celebrate having Friday off of class as well! Our last night in London is Friday and we’ll be heading to Cambridge Saturday morning.

Updates to come, with love!
