BBC News



Yep today I got a tour of the British Broadcasting company! Only a group of five of us decided to go together. When we arrived we got assigned to two BBC personnal tour guides who immediately were like "where are you girls from?" ...Don't worry Utah we're leaving quite a good impression.
The guides took us around showing us studios they use and even letting us have a practice run of what its like to conduct a live news show. I was in charge of the lighting, way difficult but I managed.
We also got to be shown into the dressing rooms they assign to celebrities or bands when they come on to be interviewed. They explained that most the time a dressing room isn't really used for getting ready its more just a place to keep track of where the special guest is so they don't go wandering off. Therefore celebrities are allowed to ask for certain things in their room so they don't get too bored because they're supposed to stay in there. The two most ridiculous requests he's heard has been from two girls from the states. Mariah Carey asking for puppies to pet before she went out to be interviewed and Jennifer Lopez actually had turned in 5 full papers of requests, I guess Jenny isn't just sweet ole' JLO from the block.

Once we finished up the tour we had to go back in time for dinner at the center. So that night I didn't really do anything else.
