Tuesday, July 30, 2002 ( 4:56 PM ) Jayme paper is done. i could have done better. les is slacking off in film but nina likes her so she gets an A- on her waaaaaay late paper. mine gets turned in a couple hours late and i get a B- and she tells me it's a day late. argh. and she just comes and in a takes my guitar for days on end so i can't teach myself. and she just helps herself to our food and movies. oh well... thinking of starting a new blog for the non-knitting stuff. will figure it out. then i can rant and not feel bad because no one else will read it, and i can (maybe) submit this one to the knitting bloggers webring. need to figure out how to put stuff in sidebar of template... like this:  (if it works) just got take home final. it's due thursday, when is when the rest of my finals are. then i'm done. and i need a job. didn't buy anything to reward my good midterm grades. i'm feeling really unhappy. bridesmaid dress didn't fit, dress sizes at david's bridal are really f'ed up. family refuses to believe that and require that i stop eating for the next six weeks and exercise constantly so that i'll fit into it in september. so i'm unhappy. besides, if i did develop some unhealthy (non)eating habits to lose weight drastically, they'd be happy for me and encourage my unhealthy-ness... then be sooooo disappointed in me if i gain even a noticeable pound. so yeah... maybe a bit of the cashmere to make me feel better? and the fearless fair isle to celebrate the job i get? i'm always tempting myself with lots of yarn but i never succumb to it... how can i be so good? i don't know. but i know it'd make me feel lots better. at least we get to watch short things in film today. i'm looking forward to duck amuck. hehe. i get to fit in more knitting druing class. yay! sorry about the stream of consciousness bit, but i kinda need it, because it's all just going through my head. i feel like my life's being invaded. and i have to tell chris and carlos to do things or it'll never get done. and i'm the only one that ever vacuums. and carlos does nothing but tv and video games and eat and mess around. and then he spills a few cups of uncooked rice on the carpet. fun. i feel like i need a vacation from everyone and everything. well chris is going home for the rest of the summer, and leslie will go home too... so maybe it'll get better? i can only hope. chris seems to have gotten lazy with carlos being here. general unhappiness all around
working on second sock still.. i-cord gets boring, so the bikini top's not done yet. i just need that last one and then sew it all together. those are all the WIPs i've got... other than practicing two-handed fair isle. maybe i should teach myself to knit with my right hand first. need to learn how to crochet snoods... so i can have one for next faire.... or just to go with my garb. and i have a pound (i think) of black mohair to do something with... maybe a shawl? if it was white or lavendar i could make it to go with my too small bridesmaid's dress. or make it in black anyway and change dresses at the reception? nah, the dress is too beautiful. i want a simple lace pattern... maybe it'll give me an excuse to buy folk shawls by cheyl oberle. those are gorgeous. and i need to figure out what to do with my NKI angora/silk blend. it's like 240 yds, and i don't know the gauge because it wasn't on the label. argh. and i can't remember where i found the WPI chart so i can figure it out. it's not in either of my books so hmmm... maybe i should go searching on knitter's review oh and i should email jamieson and smith for that quote or something. heh. # |
