The Final Push

The end of the semester is fast approaching now that Thanksgiving is over, and I have three large written things, a presentation, a poster, a unit test, and four final exams to deal with in the next three weeks.  For that reason, I will be trying very hard to make myself scarce on the internet. (I'm pretty much obsessed, so it'll be a tough task.)  Have a lovely few weeks, all!

A Quiz!

From Girl Meets Needle, my new favorite Massachusetts-ian whom I know from plurk!  Not allowed to use more than one word for responses...I think it'll be kind of tough.

I'm not sure who, of my readers, is into doing memes.  But if you read this and want to join in the one-word fun, go right ahead and take it (but if you want to leave me a comment about it, that'd be really nice :))

I like to get mail...

So the Ravelry Destash board is my friend, for its plethora of reasonably priced sock yarns in colors that I would never actively go looking for but that I end up loving:

This puts my sock yarn stash up to 5 pairs' worth, and now that I've got to make a pair for my godmother and I found out my little brother would love a pair, I've got to find some more! (None of these skeins would work for them...)

Lo Mein Brain

So today's Econ test was tough--lots of nit-picky stuff that I would've known if I had spent more than 4 hours studying all weekend.  Tomorrow I've got to make Cell Phys worth the sacrifice of Econ studying time...it's more important, anyway, being a 300-level class in my major.  Econ is just a distribution requirement (liberal arts, yadda yadda, pain in my ass!)

In better news, however, I just got a call from the car people and they said that I simply broke a tube on the air conditioning system--not the entire radiator.  Should be cheaper and quicker than what I had initially suspected, thank goodness.  And some housemates and I (not including the cranky, defensive one) ordered in cheap-o Chinese food for dinner.  Haven't had that in a long time, so the nice happy food-brain chemicals are getting me really pumped for cell phys studying...or something like that.  Does MSG poisoning make you chipper at onset?

Procrasti-knit-ing

Hello everyone!  

Of course, that basically means "hello self!" but I'll ignore that fact and pretend I have an audience...

This week I have an economics test on Monday, a cell phys test on Tuesday, a physics test on Friday, and I plan to visit BF that same afternoon.  So after a friend and I went to brunch this morning, I managed to mangle my car's radiator by pulling too far into a parking space--lamest car accident ever.  Hopefully it will be easily and quickly fixable, but I'm getting a little bit stressed out about that combination of things.  Can't even go to yoga this afternoon because I should be studying.  

I've been doing some knitting so far this semester, mostly to avoid schoolwork or to keep my hands busy during Grey's Anatomy.  Nothing of it is very far along:

This sock is out of some Regia yarn that was gifted to me by a woman from whom I bought Louet Gems fingering over Ravelry for an eventual pair of Twisted Flower socks. It's cute and clown-barfy, and a nice brain-drain knit: no thinking, just stockinette.

I'm actually about twice as far on this scarf right now, but all the repeats look the same, so just imagine it longer. I really like the Cascade Eco+, as well as the pattern.

And last but not least, BF got me Socks that Rock for my birthday in September! I'm so proud. (I bookmarked it on his computer and put my favorite BMFA color in my facebook interests and told him to look there...but he did the actual purchasing all on his own. Nice job, male brain.)

So that's all that is interesting in my life right now...recently reached plurk nirvana and am hoping to reach academic nirvana just as painlessly, haha. Off to study...
