Another busy weekend, during which I did no schoolwork. The shift back to being a student is very strange. Writing a paper seems like a massive challenge, I'm hoping that improves before I start my thesis. I've also discovered that as much as I like what I'm studying, there is very little chance that I will be inspired to work on a weekend or past 10pm. All of this means that today is devoted to laundry and paper-writing, with only one or two breaks for tea... and updating here, too, I suppose.
On Friday, I went to Glasgow to meet with a photographer. I'm working on an exhibition that will go up in March. St.Andrews Chemistry Dept has commissioned Mark Neville to create 10-20 works. My exhibition group (4 people for my course) gets to help create, process and display the photos!!! We went to Glasgow on Friday to tour Mark's studio, which ended up being us hanging around his apartment having tea and watching slide shows of his work. I'm very excited about the project and Glasgow looks like it's worth a weekend trip, too.
On Saturday, I went to the Dundee Contemporary Arts Center to see The Town. The accents made me homesick for Boston. It was amazing to sit in the theater in Dundee and watch a movie filmed in Harvard Square and right on Charter street!
Yesterday, I went to Dunfermline, a larger town in Fife, about an hour from St.Andrews, to see abbey ruins and the cathedral where King Robert the Bruce is buried.
Here is the abbey:
And here is the cathedral, I loved the tower!
Hope you are all doing well!
Hugs,
Sarah
