I'm really going to graduate!

Last night was a good one for my academic career. For one thing, I turned in the final assignment for my final class. Even though I almost cried during my group's presentation (yes, it was that bad. No, the presenter had no idea what he was talking about. Yes he made asinine comments with no research to back it up.), that class is over now and I'm done with school. Yay! I also went out and bought all of my regalia. I debated on actually buying it or just borrowing, but in the long run I'm sure I'll use it again (even if it's just for a costume). It was such a good feeling to come home and try on my hood and know that I'm really getting a Masters degree!

Good luck to all of my friends who still have papers and projects to do! I'm cheering for you!

I'm very excited now, because I think I'll have time to knit again. Well, in between the packing. I think I'll have to set up some sort of self bribery system to be motivated enough to clean around the apartment. I only have two more rounds of hourglass cable left on my knee socks, and I can hardly wait to start working on the heel!

Oh my Sunday!

Man, what a weekend it's been...

1) No word back on the Paper. This has enabled me to have a fabulous weekend with my dog. I'm sure I'll be freaking out about it later in the week, but I tried not to think about that. The pooch and I went on several long walks - in the woods, in the neighborhoods, by the creek, etc. Many pictures were taken, and I'm sure they will be uploaded later in the week.

2) Many Larabars were consumed this weekend. I keep seeing Pistachio on their website (and blog, yes, I read their blog). However, I can't find Pistachio in my local stores! I demand this delicious flavor to be delivered! In other news, I haven't found a Larabar flavor that is not delicious. And they don't have sugar!

3) Much progress was made on the knitting today while I watched basketball. I'm through the third leg decrease, but my fingers are begging me to take a break from the tiny needles. Hopefully my new yarn will come soon and I can start my log cabin quilt.

4) Blackboard was down all day, so I wasn't able to do any work for the online class. Bleh. I hope the profs are a little bit understanding of this.

5) Finally, the UNC basketball season has come to a very sad and dramatic end. I'm glad I watched it alone where only my dog could hear me curse at the TV.
