Lua

First of all - who was "anonymous" commenting on my last post? ...And thank you.

The competition went surprisingly well!! I placed 1st in piobaireachd, 3rd in the SR and 4th in the march. Kind of the opposite of what I expected, if anything! Everyone was really kind, and we also got to see more of the dancing than usual which was nice.
As a family we celebrated birthdays - Hannah's late and Ky's and mine early. I received the Sense and Sensibility soundtrack, money, and a porcelain Celtic necklace. Oh, and I've finally bought MirrorMask (lovely film).

I can't wait to go hhhhoooooooommmmmmmmmmeee

but Sunday we're going to Leavenworth for 3 days, which I do enjoy.

Currently reading A Comedy of Errors again. Shakespeare is brilliant - and funny.
Dr. Grant, my history lecturer, always says "No one is fully educated until they have read, heard, spoken, seen Shakespeare."
Mark Twain once went to see a play by him and came out saying "I don't get what all the fuss about Shakespeare is, it was just a bunch of cliches." Very true.


Poor little Lua died.

I have nothing to do. Actually there's heaps to do but nothing I feel like doing. Still down.



How are you all?

love,
cait.

Washington

Hello!

Ok, the only reason I've not posted is cause the computer wasn't letting me and now it's finally figured out...or something.

Wellllll a lot has happened. We've been in the states for about three weeks (?) now. Homesick the whole time :( but it's been fun. The best part was getting to see Sara, Aubrey, Cabar Feidh, Alley, and loads of others. Then we went to the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, etc etc, which was lovely.
Now we're back in Washington (and I have a competition tomorrow - AHHHH) and Katie was here for a week which was amazing.

Oh, and I saw Pirates 3 and thought it was just as good as the first two, with less "bad stuff" even. Happiness of the ending was debatable but I liked it anyway. A bit of tragic romance is always good in a story, according to Anne.
Now though...something's happened that has significantly reduced my ability to have fun or think straight or anything. I'm completely overwhelmed. I'm not really going to talk about it, but I trust my dad (and know that the Lord has a plan). In this case, and so many others, I can't trust my own heart and need to guard it. That doesn't make it any easier, but still. But don't worry, God is good and I'll get through this better off than I would have been, I suppose.



Much love,
Cait
