Or at least not quite...two exams down, two more to go. Half-way done is a nice thing, when I can remember to stick my head up above the mess of papers and notes and see how far I've really come anyway. Thinking about how far I have yet to go makes me want to cry.
This time next week I'll be back in California, finals will be over, and I will not have to do anything except sit around, relax, knit, and try to get back into some sort of exercise routine. If only I wasn't so utterly broke, it would be a nice break. Money sucks. Rather, the total lack of money sucks. I was less broke than this when I was unemployed. Of course, I also had people who would take me out and feed me and didn't have to worry about exams on top of it all, but still, the sad reality of it at this point is that I had to ask Daddy to bail me out for December rent, I have no idea how I am going to make January rent, never mind pay the power and phone bills, and I get the spend the whole break sponging off my boyfriend. I'm grateful that I have such a kind and supportive daddy and boyfriend, but I feel like shit having to be so reliant on them.
Anyway, enough of my school and financial woes...this is my 200th post. Huh. Not sure what to make of that exactly, but there it is. If I were a TV show I'd have gone into syndication 100 posts ago!
In between exams, outlines, and bread baking, I've actually been get a bit of therapeutic knitting done. I know, I need pictures, I should have time to get them uploaded and posted after exams are done. I made a pair of felted boot things for my dad for Christmas (here is the patters) and a moebius scarf thing for myself out of a skein of really beautiful manos yarn a friend gave me before I came out here. Moebius scarves are my new favorite knitting trick. Plus it's a great way to get something useful out of a single skein of yarn! I also finished a pair of fingerless mits I've had on needles for 100 years at least, one is knit looser than the other, but that's ok. I designed the pattern myself, and at least now I know it works. Being able to follow my own cryptic instructions is the first step I guess.
Anyhow, back to contracts. Hopefully I can get this outline done today so I can spend tomorrow on torts.

Hey, no pressure with the pictures =) It's just that you're obviously a talented knitter so it would be nice to see some of your projects.
I'm contemplating doing a Moebius scarf for myself, too.
