Life
A few things have been happening lately. My sister came to visit and we went to Au Contraire together. It was great. There were lots of interesting discussions e.g. fanfic cliches and instant crossovers was fun.
I'm in my final year of my BSc and I've been thinking about doing Masters next year. I talked to a couple of my lecturers today and they were very encouraging. Most of me is really excited about it but it is also this really big thing to do and I'm a bit anxious about it. I used to have doubts about whether I was up to it. I don't doubt myself now, not really, but the whole thing is still a bit scary. Finding a supervisor, applying, funding, scholarships. Also, I'm not sure how my parents will react. They should be all "Great! Go for it!" but I've been at uni for a while now and before this when the topic of what I'd do next came up I'd say (because of my selfdoubt) I would look for a job.
I've started knitting again :) Yay!!! I got very discouraged last year when I was knitting a beanie for my dad. I had problems with gauge and ended up with the most massive hat ever. I frogged it and started again, had more problems, lost the pattern and then just gave up and buried it at the bottom of my stash. Now Fathers Day is coming up and Dad was hinting about how his current beanie is wearing out and it would be nice to have a new one so I excavated the hat. It's finished but too small for him so I'll wear it and I've started a new one for dad. I'm using great yarn, the simplest pattern ever and it's practically knitting itself :)
