Snow soon
It's pouring down rain right now. Hopefully it'll get cold enough in the next few hours to make it snow.
In other news, my mum is quite subversive...amusingly so. :) No explanations, sorry.
I've finished applying to grad schools, which makes me happy. No more capstone (which went quite well, all things considered), no more classes until January, no more fretting until I hear back from grad schools, actually. I don't know if I've mentioned before which schools I've applied to, so here's the lineup:
Duke University - Durham, NC
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
University of South Carolina - Columbia
University of Florida - Gainesville
Emory University - Atlanta, GA
Yup, I'm going south. Something new, you know? Also, being warm would be lovely. Warm, humid, crazy people. Yeah, it's great.
Been knitting loads. Makes me feel good. I haven't had the opportunity for a while, so it's been lovely. I have started socks. I have yet to attempt the heel, but I have faith I can manage it. I just have to figure out how to slip-slip-knit and make a gusset. Heh. Whatever. Had myself a Firefly marathon this weekend. Damn, that show is brilliant. I've also been reading, as well. Naomi Novik's dragon books, the first of which is His Majesty's Dragon, are amazing. I'm on the second now. They're about the Napoleonic wars except retold with dragons as part of the armed forces of all the different countries. The battles are incredible and the dragon, Temeraire, is so charming and funny. The writing is solid and has a distinct nineteenth-century British tone. Great books. Also, Peter Jackson is making them into films. Eedahdee!
That's all I have for now. Off to run errands with Mum soon, so I shall bid you all farewell until some far-off future update.
Namárië
