First Day(s) of School!!!

Wednesday officially marked the first day of school and I have to say it did not start off too well. I think it was stress, but I couldn't fall asleep until 2 or 3 in the morning and when I woke up at 8 to go to breakfast with Sam/Clare/Joni/Becca I was still not feeling swell. I didn't have Ethical Theory until 11 so I made some calls looking for a work study job. Then Perception and Developmental Psych went by in a blur of syllabi and no AC.
Tuesday/Thursday classes are going to be waaaaay more interesting. First off, I have Childress again and I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me which is probably for the best as she scares the crap out of me and spending more time with her even noticing my existence would only cause stock in Depends to rise. I'm taking her Nationalism in the Middle East class and it should be educational as I know nothing about the Middle East other than it exists. After that I have Psychology of Personality and I can not explain how much I'm going to love that class. I'm not even going to try. I will say that I love Nicolai and I loved her class last semester even though I never got my research paper back. I wasn't going to do anything with it anyway.

It's off to class for me.

ALMOST First Day of School

So move in was mostly painless, unfortunately I forgot a ton of shit (of course), but I was able to move in with just five milk crates and a suitcase with my clothes in it. I decided to pack light this year because I had too much crap last year.
The room is pretty sparse although we did manage to purchase a futon and a rug. Thank God for Walmart, I'm too poor even for Ikea. I've decided to decorate with some knitted birds. I plan on making a bunch in different colors and hanging them from the ceiling. Check it out:Super cute, eh? I think they will be delightful once they're done.

I finally decided to look at the schedule of my classes and OMG I am a flaming incompitent when it comes to making a schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I have three classes and they are close enough together that I can't do anything useful but far enough apart that it's almost stupid to go back to the dorm. It's annoying. Oh well, I'll have to learn to deal with it.

At least my room is much better this year even though it's on the same hallway in the same building. I have to say though seeing one of my hallmates ass in the bathroom was really unnecessary.

I wish my comic book collection was larger :( .

It's Almost Not Tuesday

So Zoloft it is.

I have almost finished Sam's birthday bear but I am too tired to continue. I still have all day tomorrow I guess.

Nothing happened today other than finding out that my textbook for Perceptions is out of stock at the bookstore. I may end up buying it off of Amazon. I do not feel like spending 102$ on this stupid book.

Today is Monday

I have almost nothing to say.

I finally got a copy of a knitting book that I've been looking for. It's called "Unusual Toys For You To Knit And Enjoy" by Jess Hutchinson and apparently it's like the Holy freaking Grail or something if you knit and you think you're a hot shot, modern knitter who knits things to be an ironic hipster fucker. I like the patterns in it and I'm currently working on a bear for Samantha's birthday. The colors are pretty hilarious (pink body, white sweater, and baby blue pants) and I love the proportions of the actual toy. That's my biggest problem with most toy patterns, I just don't like the shape but I lack the skills necessary to make my own patterns. I need to work on that because I have some bad ass ideas for some critters.


The bear pretty much resembles a bowling pin at this stage. I like knitting but I'm generally against the fact that I have to sew on limbs/ears/what have you after. I'm just a sloppy finisher and I blow at embroidery. All things to work on in the future I guess. Setting goals, etc etc etc.

I went to the doctor today and got a tentative diagnosis but I'll have to wait and see another doctor in a few months and probably a third in addition to that. Ah, what a pain in me arse.

I move back to the lovely Corcoran housing facility on the 16th, Sam moves back on Wednesday so I could probably move in some things when she's around. I'm actually pretty excited for classes to start on the 20th. I feel like summer has been relaxing but really boring so it'll be nice to be on campus and actually doing things instead of plotting ways to blackmail Ryan Seacrest off the air. I hate that man.

Spatulas.

Proof that Joan (sewing machine) is now my bitch

Hey there sexy skirt! It's adorable in my opinion. I made it in a class at Urban Arts and Crafts. It was not a race, but I did finish first. Laura came in at the end of the class and looked around and said "Mwahaha, you won!" That's why I love her. That and she modeled the skirt (see below).

Look at my messy room and cute sister and dog. Oh yeah, the skirt is pretty fly too.

I want a knitting pattern book so I'm going to the library tomorrow so I can get one (or thirty). It's going to magical since I have a scanner to preserve the patterns for later use. I'm pretty sure that's unethical but I have no scruples so whatever.

Last thing, Beer Belly Bunny!

I love the internet. Mostly I love finding free knitting patterns and pretty art. Stumble has been so helpful in this regard. I'll now share some cool stuff I've stumbled across:

A pattern for a knit Squid . It's pretty freaking cute.
A knit cat . This chick is pretty fantastic.
ELEPHANT

Enough knitting for now. More pretty pictures:

Gorgeous
Paper has never looked this cool
I love these so much. There is something so beautiful and sad about abandoned cities.
Totally my style and therefore perfect.

The Breast Cancer Walk was today but I have no photographic evidence I was there. You will have to take my word for it. Some of my favorite shirts included: "Save 2nd Base" (website) and "Great Boobs are Worth Fighting For".

I hate cancer and people who try and start arguments.

Onward and Upward.
