The Loop

I started out going back to the Gateway Building to finish the Matriculation and Advising process. My classes were approved, so I was very glad I did not have to worry about my module selection any more. I went into town after that, and attended a lecture about Studying at St. Andrews at the Buchanan Lecture Theater, which helped me understand the grading system.

I met up with my dad for lunch, then went to the Mermaids Performing Arts Fund Taster Session at the student union. I participated in the tech workshop at the Byre Theater, and learned how the light and sound system work there. The technology and theater setup was very different than what I'm used to, but after all, it was a theater, so I felt pretty "at home". I happily agreed to come back on Thursday to tech a improvised show.

I went back to the apartment after the workshop, and my dad and I went down to the beach to look at the entries from the Sandcastle Competition (I wanted to participate, but it was at the same time as stage crew). The beach was really beautiful- they filmed the famous scene of Chariots of Fire there, and the grass alongside it reminded me of the beach where Shell Cottage is located in Harry Potter.
