Notes: Shit I Need to Work On
Knitting
Kilt hose for Mark
Neckwarmer and collar for Abby
Rorschach scarf for N
Re-sew Joy's gauntlets
For Etsy:
Fuzzy gauntlets
Checkerboard gauntlets
Maybe some yarnfalls?
Maybe hats?
Maybe a scarf?
Clubber shirt
Sewing:
Schoolbag (unless I drop a shit-ton of money on a cool bag from NightMoth)
FIX ALL OF THOSE PANTS AND COATS!!!
Dress?
Writing:
Finish edits on "Questionable Breeding"-send out to Ploughshares
Go through the poetry for Pleiades
Try to work at least every other night on the novel (maybe figuring out a lot more of the incidental plotline would be smart, hm?)

Working at a Verizon Wireless store for the summer. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but I'm still looking for a job that pays better, preferably some sort of data entry or filing. Sent out a few things, and have my fingers crossed.
My grades have dropped a bit, more than I like, but I am fairly confident that this coming semester will go better. Unfortunately, I've suddenly went from "why yes, I know exactly what I'm doing with my life" to "Oh crap, I have qualms about this and this." In any case, I will be appending a minor in Creative Writing on my English major, to make me look more presentable to publishing and literary agencies when I graduate. Chances are that I will not go to grad school right out of undergrad, due to my lack of monies, and with my grades dropping, a fellowship will be relatively hard to secure, unless I really jack it up this coming year. However, I've also noticed myself becoming bored with a school structure, so while I may not go out exploring a la On The Road, I will probably try living outside of academia for a bit, and see what happens.
I still have writing to fall back on to a degree, and my skills in knitting have progressed significantly, considering I'm competently knitting types of patterns I've never tried before in my life, and creating patterns based off pictures I've seen. I will probably try, no matter how I'm primarily paying the bills, to pick up extra income doing that, and it may just bloom for me.
So yeah, lots of shit to work on. The good news is that I am enjoying things in the incidental. My relationship is maturing from pure bouncy to realistic happiness, although there are issues that I do need to seriously consider. I have spent more time being social this year in a wider framework, as opposed to burying myself in books, or just spending time with one or two people. And I finally figured out that I love to go out dancing. In other words, I'm enjoying this high cycle. It may not last, but things are pleasant enough and I'm enjoying them. And hopefully, when I go back to a lower point, because I have FINALLY learned that this is fact, and I cannot escape it, I have this to fall back on.
