Spoiling the surprise a bit...
Okay, so I know this is spoiling the surprise a bit, but I wanted everyone to know I am working on things for the people on my swap/gift list, but it will take a while.
Anne sent me those awesome cookies, and the first thing that popped into my mind as handmade for her were these mittens. Because they will take me a while to make because I haven' ( Read more... ) -
The homework beast attacks again
Two 17-20 page research papers due in one month. One English Syntax Project and Final Exam due in one month. Regular homework in addition to aforementioned. One young lady slowly losing her sanity.
At least I have cookies. Anne sent me cookies, and they were delicious. Please note the "were." I would have taken a picture of them, but somehow, on ( Read more... ) -
Yarn Love
I haven't posted in a little while, mainly because of class. I had a midterm on Thursday in Syntax. I studied out the yang, but I spazzed out on the exam day. I'll hold my pessimism in until I actually get the grade. Here's to hoping.
Oh, and for those that have watched the last two weeks of Avatar, I really liked the one from two weeks ago ( Read more... ) -
Procrastinating Again
I need to read Much Ado About Nothing, but I'm lacking motivation. I'm sleepy and am considering the ramifications of getting a second job. I could really use the money. I just used a little bit from my savings to buy a textbook on rhetoric to help with my master's thesis and hopefully (eventually) getting into a PhD program. I'd only be able ( Read more... ) -

And I'll fix the images eventually. Eventually...

Shakespeare has my souul
In the past week, I have had more experience working with Macbeth and Othello than I care to admit. I wrote a paper on guilt and catharsis in Macbeth, and in seven hours, will be doing a 20 minute presentation on Transformation and Comedy in Othello.
I'm just a little nervous.
I've been insanely busy over the past week. I had to read Operation ( Read more... ) -
Shirker!
Today I saw a sticker on the window of an orange Mustang, and it said:
Warning!
This vehicle is protected by a passive alarm system!
So I was thinking, should that say, "You are being warned!" Because if an orange Mustsang is going to start bandying bad grammar all about, I want to be duly notified. Not that passive voice is bad (and it really ( Read more... ) -
Knutters
I am super tired, but I feel obligated to update. I have worked on a few knitting projects since I last posted, so I wanted to show everyone.
First, finished green scarf (my very first finished knitting project):

Narf
I had a good day. Wednesdays are always good. There are no regular classes in the day hours, so there is always parking on campus, and I have Shakespeare, which I always enjoy. However, the end of the day has left a little to be desired.
Class lets out about ten minutes late. Okay, no big deal, in a three hour class, what is ten minutes? Time is a ( Read more... )
