Busy Times

Well, I'd like to say its bee a fun couple of weeks, but thatd be a lie. I am totally stressed out with this stupid math class and can't wait for it to be over. Had an interesting time in my personal life too, but lets not talk about that.
I did spend last weekend with Tamila in Trade Tennessee. We had fun just hanging out, going letterboxing, we even went to a drive in movie theater and saw My Sister's Keeper.
Next week I am packing up my stuff the minute I get don with my final and I'm heading to San Antonio Texas, to hang out with my friend Charlie. I can't wait. I don't really know what we are doing yet, but it will be nice to actually have a vacation.

Happy Birthday Mom

Yeah, her birthday is not till September, but her present is done. And since it was a custom request by her, I thought I would post a picture.


I also finished these way cool socks the other day!


I'm also taking a Calculus Class right now, but trust me, you don't want to hear about that.

The Drama Llama rears his ugly head...

Yeah, its been a fun week. (not!) All sorts of stressful stuff is going on at home. And its just more stressful to me because I'm given a play by play, but its not like I'm there to actually do anything and make it better. But c'est la vie.
Luckily this is my last week teaching classes until September. I am so ready for a break. My students are really starting to get on my nerves. Its really frustrating when I know that all the information they need to answer their lab questions are in the lab notebook they have, and they still don't know whats going on. Or when they learn something in an experiment, but can't apply it to a real life question. Like since when did simple logic disappear?
I planted a letterbox yesterday and that was pretty exciting. I put it at the Wesley Foundation, and the stamp is a squirrel since Ken and the squirrels are mortal enemies! lol. Ken was not amused. I still think its awesome.

Summer!

I am so glad its summer. I made it through the semester, and now have a 3.2 GPA which will allow me to take classes in the fall! I am teaching one class right now, and not taking any, and am really enjoying my extra free time. I have been a pretty productive knitter in the past month. This is all I've done:

A Stargate Dishcloth


A Gryffindor Tie


A Baby Blanket


A Camel (to go with Granny's Nativity)


And I started a cool pair of socks.


Right now I'm sitting at the Wesley Foundation and the first game of the Stanly Cup Finals is on, so I'm going to get back to that!

Surprise!

Busy Busy Busy

I have been so busy the past couple of weeks. I have so many papers to grade, papers to write, and tests to study for. I have to give a presentation on Friday for my thesis proposal. I'm crossing my fingers it goes well and I don't sound stupid. I can't wait for summer to be here.

I have managed to get a little knitting done. I am trying to make one Christmas present a month, that way I'm not rushing to finish them all in December. I finished Grandma's present this past month.

Its a pair of convertable mittens in a black wool I had in my stash. I think they are really cool.

A little Letterboxing stuff, and some updates

So I've been a little busy with school and have been neglecting my poor blog. I wanted to show some pictures of stuff that I've been doing though.

I made this stamp for Darcy for letterboxing. I actually made two. As you can see in the picture, the letters are BACKWARDS! UGH. After two hours of carving this stamp, I had to scrap it and start again. Luckily the second time around I have better luck with those pesky letters.

This second one is the stamp I made for Tamila so she could go letterboxing with me. It didn't take me quite as long as Darcy's but she was still pleased. (I checked and double checked the letters on this one to make sure they were right.)

Other than that, school has been keeping me pretty busy. Lots of tests, papers to write, papers to grade, and oh yeah, that thesis thing. I should probably start that.
