SUNDAY NIGHT:
Saturday night was the ceilidh dance which was very fun. We learned many old cool dances. But before we decided to split into two groups for dinner. One group walked to indian and another took the bus to The Cellar Door. Both dinner trips had their own dramatic spin. The Indian group got to their restaurant, then after they ordered and waited a while the workers came out and told them they had to go to the store and get the ingredients to make their food.  Finally an hour later they got their food, ate and then arrived at the dance a solid 30 minutes late. The Cellar Door group went and ate with no problem and then left to catch the bus back to the dorms. But, we had to speed walk and as we were walking (not able to find a bus stop) we saw the bus we needed to get on and ended up running a solid 3 blocks beside the bus we were supposed to be on. We were able to get on a totally packed bus and get to the dorm only to realize we had 2 minutes left to get to the dance on time and didn't know where the building was. So we ran around campus and finally found it. 
MONDAY: 
Monday was a show day. We got up, ate breakfast, and went to see "Pandora's Book" a show by another AHSTF group. It was written by their director and it was very clever, cute, and well done. We then came back, ate, and attended "A Piece of My Heart" a show presented by Visitation Academy (another all girls school in St. Louis). It was about Vietnam  and was extremely touching and emotional. Everyone was in tears. We then came back to the dorms and got ready for our first performance of Tuna! It went very smoothly and received great feedback from the audience. 
TUESDAY:
Yesterday we saw "Alice in Wonderland" nice and early at 9 am. It was a different version then you would expect and we weren't great fans of it to be honest. We then walked down to the Royal Mile and had a 15 min. time slot on a small fringe stage. It went very well, but it was hard to hear with all those people. We handed out show info and shopped the rest of the afternoon. It was very fun. Then we came back for dinner and then left to catch the bus for the Tattoo. It was amazing. The lights where amazing and all the bands where outstanding. It was very entertaining. We walked back to the dorms and didn't get back until around midnight.
WEDNESDAY (today) 
This morning we had an early Tuna performance that went well for being so early and having lack of sleep. We're now back and deciding what to do this afternoon. Tonight we're scheduled to go see Cinderella.
