Day 9: August 8 - Final Performance!

Image
Today we had the luxury of sleeping in but in order to start the day right I got up a little early to take a quick shower and get ready before breakfast. Once everyone got up we headed out to the dining hall for breakfast and then got ready to join one of the fellows performing casts to support their show, Flowers of Algernon.  It was well done, and personally, I enjoyed it! Then we walked a while to the Lyceum Theatre where we were scheduled to partake in a comedy workshop. Before we went in we had some time to get lunch around the area. I was initially skeptical, but I ended up having an enjoyable time, and I thought many of the improv exercises were really funny.  After that, we had to walk a bit to find a bus station and once we finally got back to Pollock Halls, we had barely an hour to get ready for our final performance! We all got ready and met up at our usual spot in front of the dining hall, and then walked over to the bus and headed to the venue. We had a pretty smo...

Day 10: August 9 - Sightseeing and Shows!

Image
On this beautiful day, we slept in until 9:20 am. In the morning we separated into two groups, one half relaxed at the dorms while the other half went on a beautiful hike up to the highest point in Edinburgh - Arthur‘s Seat. I (Zach) and Beti enjoyed our hike so much that we might even wake up at 5am tomorrow to go see the sunrise from the peak! Afterward, everyone gathered for a meal in the dining hall before going to watch a show about all the Brothers Grimm stories. Immediately following the show, we traveled to the Royal Mile and then into Edinburgh Castle which, like Arthur’s Seat, had amazing 360-degree views of the city, bay, and countryside. But that’s not all (it was a very busy day if you can’t tell!) We then rushed back to the theatre to watch another show. This time a very meaningful and beautifully written, sung, and acted show called ‘The Beautiful Ugly’. It was so moving and it is definitely a show I would strongly recommend to others and worth watching for its thought p...

Day 11: August 10

To start off the day we woke up early at around 8:30 am to get ready for our bus tour around Scotland. We all had to be at the bus by nine where we boarded our bus to start our journey. We drove for around an hour before we got to our first stop at Stirling Castle. The castle was very beautiful! Isla and I dropped by the café and enjoyed a delectable breakfast. After that, we went and explored the beautiful garden full of all the different kinds of flowers that the property had to offer. At the edge of the wall, you could see a beautiful view of the city.  Next, we reboarded the bus and began our drive to our second stop, which was Loch Lomond. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and sat on the grassy hills overlooking the water.  After we finished eating the pre-packaged lunch we were provided, we took a walk down to the lake just to see the water. It was fun to see all the kids and families swimming and spending time in the water.  As we drove to our final destination we all t...
