The summer semester has started and I’m already frazzled! One of my classes, the professor decided NOT to turn in a list of books to the bookstore and left everyone scrambling for books. One of which must be some kind of super rare book because nobody had it including Amazon, except in their used section. Thankfully I found someone locally who was selling this super rare book on Amazon and I picked it up yesterday. The reason this super rare book drove me crazy is because, after perusing the syllabus for the class, I realized that I basically have to read the entire freaking book by next week! Nice, huh? Meanwhile I’m also taking ANOTHER class (and I wanted to add a third class to my schedule! psht! THAT wasn’t going to happen!) that gives quizzes at the beginning of each class and on the first day, which happened to be Tuesday, the professor had assigned us to read something like 200 pages in three different books and web articles for a quiz today. Mind you the class is from 6:30 to 9pm after work(!) and she acknowledges that most people work, so I guess we’re just supposed to procure this time out of thin air to read what is the equivalent of an entire freaking book in one night! I stayed up til practically 1am yesterday doing my readings, taking notes, and having discussions with my better half on the reasons why feminism is so good for our society, men and women alike (since my class is on women’s studies) and why he better damn well start helping me out around the house! Yeah, I was tired, I’d been reading loads of feminist materials, and although I still think he could wash a dish every so often, I don’t think it was executed in the right way because of the aforementioned groggy/tiredness.
Needless to say because all this has been going on, knitting has come to a screeching halt. On the plus side (or maybe not so plus), I sold some fiber! I sold Underwater Gardens (which i don’t think I actually blogged about, but if you check out my Flickr or Ravelry it’s there), and Glades Gator which is great because extra cash for yarny/fibery goodness is always good, BUT …… I really liked how that fiber came out. Yeah, falling in love with fiber you want to sell is bad, I know, but it’s really nice stuff and the colors! O.M.G. THE COLORS!
I think I’m going to have to dye up a batch just for me then really, really soon, or as soon as I have a spare moment for myself to be able to dye, spin, and knit something up because right now I hardly have time to go to the bathroom let alone knit!
In more good news, I sold some textbooks that I’ve had laying around too! I’m SUPER excited about this because I’ve been trying to make room in our office since it’s looking like something out of a horror movie that’s about to swallow you whole, so getting rid of some stuff was a necessity, and making some cash for it is always great. So, if you need any textbooks, go to my Amazon store and buy stuff!
Hopefully, some time in the near future, there will be some knitting content going up, but for now, please be patient with me as I’m trying to become more learn-ed.
