Scottish Games and More Stuff

Alright, so last Saturday the folks and I all piled into the car and went to Ben Lomond for the Highland Games. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and I sadly forgot to wear any sunscreen, so I've got some sunburned shoulders.

Highlights from the day (we spent 5 hours there, starting at noon):
- Getting to listen to my favorite celtic band, Celtic Blacklyst (I'm biased, since I go hang with them every Thursday)
- Taking over 200 pictures of them on one of the band members' camera, because she said they didn't have any really good pictures of the group playing together with the singer in them.
- Watching the hammer dulcimer player in her dance troupe...even though the poor dancers were having CD player issues. *snerk*
- I got dragged on stage with the Wicked Tinkers when they asked if anyone didn't know the song "Wallop The Cat"...and I stupidly tossed my arm into the air. SO embarassing....and SO fun.
- Feeling like I was going to get bludgeoned to death by the drummer of Wicked Tinkers as I was on stage, thanks to his over enthusiastic drum beating.
- Getting a brand new bodice that my dad bought for me. It's so puuuuurty. It's the only tapestry bodice I've liked in a LONG time.
- Meeting a CUTE little white kitten who was blind, but goes EVERYWHERE contentedly riding on her owner's shoulder.

Hrrm...that's pretty much all I really remember right now.

What else is new? Oh yes. I have a paper due on Thursday, and one on Monday....and I'm going to the Renaissance Faire on Sunday (which was planned BEFORE I knew I had all these papers due). Hmm...I have to interview some adulty person for one of them. I'll see if my brother wants to, since I'm sure he'd be VERY interesting to write about.

Also, I went to a meeting to learn about the Integrated Credential program at SJSU for Child Development/Teacher majors. Looks good, so I think I'll apply for it. Hopefully, it won't stress me out TOO much.
