so morning looks so much further away when you are all hopped up on caffenine. i just got up. i love sleeping. before i crashed i put the featherbed back on the bed. and got out the second down comforter. so with that, my super snappy 9 layer futon, and 8 pillows it was really hard to wake up. i just had to share. midterm update, i got part a completely done last night, and some of part of b and c. i just have to wait for divine intervention (by way of a laptop floating down from the sky in a column of light) to figure out the rest. oh and i dreamt of yarn last night :) i really need to finish this stuff so i can knit.

i'm procrastinating, i know, i know...finish the damn midterm take home but thats part of the all night study session right? its required or something...procrastination i mean... 11:00 am leave house 2 hours past the time i intended to because i got caught up watching next , i have no idea why. its a terrible show. 11:30 am leave lys after purchasing 2 pairs of circular needles in size 2's to knit socks on my school road trip next week. god forbid i leave it to the last minute and don't get needles before i leave! 12:00 noon arrive at school, go to the computer lab, sit down and try to figure out what the hell i'm supposed to be doing on this take home midterm. we have to do it in ths stupid computer program called mathcad . it bites. if i just did the homework by hand it would take 5 minutes...i hate school! 12:02 pm guy from class sits down to ask me how to do the homework that i have already finished (wooo hoo) and looks over my shoulder to read the midt...

so i woke up this morning, got dressed, got ready and left the house. i immediately turned around, went back inside, went to the closet and got out my clapotis to wear cause it was chilly out. and i was toasty all day all wrapped up in my super soft alpaca. and shirley kept coming up to me and petting it. i think my classmates thought that was wierd...they must not knit :)

so i get to take this really neat field trip for my astronomy class next week, but that means i have to get ahead in everything so i can go on this really neat trip for my class next week...and i'm freaking, i have 2 assignments about 75-80% completed, and i have to take a take home computer programming exam, and then i have the written exam on friday and i haven't studied yet, and my brain is mush...ack. i just had to share. and i haven't been knitting and i think that may be why my brain is mush...crap. and i couldn't concentrate in class today so i designed what i want to do for my friend's scarf, i want to put cables, and it should be pretty, i just have to figure out the specifics of how many rows befor ecables turn etc. but it should be neat. but i can't be designing knitting projects in class. thats bad. i think i need a vacation. but i'm gonna go finish my wine, and go to bed, and start all over again tomorrow. hope you're having a good d...

a measure of energy, the current state of my brain, a noncommital sound... so if anyone wants to waste copious amounts of time i suggest reading the last few years worth of this comic . mildly entertaining, sorta funny, and a fabulous waste of time. thanks ewald , i didn't have homework to do for the last 2 days!

so i've been getting automated and anonymous comments and i wanted to apologize for those of you this migtht inconvenience, but i clicked that little box that makes you type in the word you see...anyway sorry for the hassle. i just don't wanna deal with creeps anymore. anyway night guys. i'm gonna go knit something :)

so i can't find my pins or i'd be blocking this right now!!! but its seamed , finally its done it just needs a little stretch, vertically that is, its a little A shaped for some reason, but i should be able to fix that with a little blocking :) hopefully my mom will like it, its really soft and should be ready for the next cool day.

ok, so i was looking for some yarn, i don't even remember what now... and i kept pulling boxes out from under the bed... and i found an UFO's that i haven't touched in ages, remember that blue sweater??? ribbit... and i found a scarf that i started ages ago for a friend and i hate the way it looks... so there it went too! don't worry ewald i'll restart it, it will be finished before i see you next summer :) and i sorted out te stuff i actually want to finish and put it away in an organized fashion well it's sort of...organized... but the yarn is nice and tidy now! and i am gonna finish my mom's boatneck sweater tonight!!! don't believe me? i'll have it on pins before you know it!

so it seems i that i either knit like a woman possessed or i don't do it at all. lately it has been the latter. just haven't felt like it. i know wierd huh but whatever. probably working too much and procrastinating school work and that sort of thing. but i did have a knitting dream last night. i was at a yarn shop. apparently the local one (thats what my head said when i was there - gotta love dreams) but i've never seen that one. it was a neat place though i'd like to find it. there was a group there knitting, i had left a work in progress on the table and was talking to someone when a woman walked up and took my yarn. needless to say i took it back. knocked her down, sat down and proceeded to knit the entire back of a sweater in a few minutes. nobody even noticed the brawl. it was wierd. what can i say it was a dream. but nobody messes with my yarn sleeping or no. and i really want to find this yarn it was the prettiest color :) hmm, anybody know wh...

well i had fun knitting at jenifer's today. it was mommy day, i played the aunt who shows up with cookies and no child. it was fun. jenifer made yummy sandwiches and julie (i think it was julie sorry if i'm mixed up) made pasta salad amy made a yummy dip we had lunch, we knitted, the kiddies played. good times had by all! i even ripped out my mistake on rogue, it was 45 rows, some short rows, and the bind off for the shoulders, i've redone the first decreases, and i'm halfway through the straightaway i'll have it redone in no time. i'm dying to to work on the collar cables. i was just getting started when i realized my mistake on the back. cross your fingers, no more disasters.

never ever never knit mad!!! you're fast, but you don't think you know? i have to rip out the back of rogue to the armholes...i "finished" the back this morning. i hav eto go back. you know when a pattern says decrease every other row, you're supposed to do it every other row, not evry row, so the back is 8 or 9 rows short. damnit. i hate it when i screw up!

or maybe i just did somethng realy bad in a past life and i'm getting screwed for that now. i dunno.
