done done done!

my sister trying to steal my graduation glory :)

I officially graduated from college! finally. I now hold a bachelor of science in family and consumer sciences in family and consumer sciences (nope I didn't type that twice on accident) and a minor in fashion merchandising!

That qualifies me to knit for a living right?.....right?

I need to go to bed, just wanted to give a quick update on my doneness with school...for now :P

I also just ripped out one of my Christmas gifts for I think the fifth time and I think I finally found a pattern I'm happy with. This was a nice positive note to sleep on tonight since I have to rip out my dad's present tomorrow due to it ending up too small...blegh.

ok night!

the end!

Today is officially my last class day of my undergraduate career! And yes, it has been a career, haha. I'm so ready to graduate! All I have between me and the stage are my physics and history finals next Thursday and Friday, and a presentation I have to show up for on the 15th.

I just got an email from my physics prof with a list of some key terms to know for the final. Seems nice right? There are over 400 "key" terms on the list. what. the. heck?! blegh!

Anyways, I have no idea what I'm going to do once I'm done so if any of yall have any ideas for someone with a bachelor of science in family and consumer sciences and a minor in fashion merchandising...let me know :) I am thinking about seminary, but that won't be for another year and a half I think, unless I take a class or two online, which could be fun. We'll see.

On the knitting front I've finished three of my presents! Well almost, I still need to weave in some ends in my latest completion. At the rate I'm going I might actually finish everything before Christmas.

Ok and one last thing. It's supposed to snow tomorrow! I really hope it does and all this hype isn't for nothing. Apparently it's only snowed six times in the past years in Austin. Poor Austin and it's lack of pretty white snow.

Ok I'm off to do whatever while I wait for my LAST class!

ps. I wrote a hat pattern so I might be posting that soon...we'll see :)

my physics professor says..

slitterbom...instead of schlitterbahn

and

nucular...instead of nuclear

This class is way too slow and boring to wake up at 6am for. Especially after another 3 hour night of sleep. blegh. I'm already ready to climb back into my comfy bed and go to sleep!

where has summer gone?!

I can't believe I haven't posted in over two weeks! I guess my surgery and busy summer have really kept me preoccupied.

I've been knitting a bit and getting ready for my LAST SEMESTER of college. Scary.

I'm knitting Ysolda's Gretel in a lovely light teal cascade yarn. I'm loving all the cabley goodness. Makes it an interesting knit that I don't get bored of after an hour.

I finished up my mom's birthday slippers and gave them to her. I need to get some pics. I really like how they turned out, I even added some cute buttons :)

Next on my personal knitting list is crazily enough...I think a sweater! A cardigan actually. I think I want a cute little black cardigan to wear with t-shirts and jeans. The ones I have that are black are too tight for some of my t-shirt sleeves, so yeah, I need to get on that. If I'm lucky, it'll stop being over 100 degrees everyday so I can get motivated enough to even start knitting a sweater, heh.

Well I hope to be back soon with pictures!

random updates

bronchitis
i've had asthma forever and one of the lovely side effects is bronchitis. i get it every few years and it knocks me down. i currently have no voice at all (i help lead worship twice a week...hmm) or lung capacity. some of it has settled in my lungs which i hope clears up soon. basically i didn't go to much school this week and i'm behind in my assignments.

craftiness
being stuck at home has given me lots of time for craftiness.
- knitting project zipper pouch
- knit slippers
- another knit scrubby
- plans for some wall art brewing in my head

hoping to get pictures of all these up soon.

school
i looked at my course requirements the other day and it looks like i only need 27 hours to graduate after this semester! should be a breeze graduating december 2009. i'll try not to get ahead of myself on post-graduation plans :)

david
he's wonderful and scruffy and i'm so blessed to be the girl that goes crazy with him.
