Some things

Things that make me want to rip out my hair:

– I promised my sister I would start Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred today. I tried the ab toning one a few months ago and got through about twelve minutes. Haven’t worked out since, that’s how torturous it was. That lady is evil.

– I have a horrendous paper due tomorrow. It should be really easy but for some reason I’m having all sorts of trouble with it. Gah.

– I also have a presentation to give on Wednesday, two group projects due on the 23rd, and a paper due on the 30th. We’re not even going to peek into what I have due in the first nine days of May.

– I made a dress but the fabric is too thick and now it’s sitting funny. Gah.

– I made another dress and the fabric is possibly too thin and I’m afraid it’ll be see-through.

Things that make me smile inside:

– I got through a Jillian Michaels workout! Granted, I didn’t use weights because I don’t have any yet.. But still!

– I’m going to France in 84 days!

– I know I’m way behind the ball on this one but I’m really obsessed with Swedish Hasbeens.

– I’m considering taking a photography class.

– Boyfriend and I are going to his roomie’s family’s lake house next weekend!

– The two dresses I made are super cute!

– My hair is ridiculously long. I lurve it. I’ve been trimming it every few weeks but I’m determined to grow it to even more ridiculous proportions so I can dress up as a proper elf when the Hobbit comes out. (Yes, I am a huge nerd.)

– My camera. It’s just full of squees.

– I have a place to live next year!

And just because I have no interesting photos to share, here’s a one of me and Lyds out last week before school got crazy.

Things I want to write about

– The million xmas knits I’ve finished this week. No srsly, there are so many.

– The million xmas knits I still have to finish before xmas.

– The awesome buttons I bought today that were used in Shutter Island. (Not the exact ones, but the exact design.)

– The awesome sweater I just finished that the buttons are going to be sewn onto.

– The lovely movie I saw last night (Hugo) and how it led to me remembering a name I’ve been trying to remember for the past two years (Busby Berkeley).

– The millions of papers I’ve written in the past two weeks. Only one left and then freedom!!

So apologies for the lengthy silence, but brb.

Logic fail

Things I’m proud of this week:

-The 1 hour, 33 slide, 6 page paper my group and I wrote and presented on Monday

-The Rae #2 I finished this morning

The 10-12 page research article critique I’ve been working on all day instead of knitting and am currently on page 9 of even though it’s not due until Thursday It’s done!! All 13 pages. Did I mention it’s not due for two days? This has never happened before. Yee!

-The sweater in progress I finally finished instead of ignoring in favor of buying shinier new yarn for new sweaters

Therefore I have decided that getting homework done on time and refraining from buying yarn means I get to splurge on Madelinetosh for my next project.

-glee-

(And yes, not buying yarn means I get to buy yarn. The logic of a knitter.)

In other news, I now have two shiny Rae’s to keep my necksicles warm.
