Time marches on

It hardly seems possible that I left San Francisco just six months ago. Somehow it seems like I've been out here much much longer than that. At the same time, it's all gone so fast…at time I feel as though I've barely had time to blink. But here I am, a half a year later, a semester behind me, and well in to the last half of my first year.

For some reason I've been sick pretty much since I got back from the winter break. First it was an awful cold/flu from hell, and now I've got some messed up stomach bug and a fever. The main problem is the exhaustion, afternoon naps are all well and good but if I sleep for 4 hours in the afternoon I really would like to be awake later than 9:30 in the evening. I seem to be getting better though, so with any luck I'll be back to normal by the end of the week.

I've been knitting a pair of socks for Someone, and have decided to try the 2 socks on 2 circular needles method. So far, it seems to be working pretty well but can get quite confusing. I think the confusion is worth it though, I have a bad habit of knitting one sock and then never getting around to the second one, or not getting the second one done for 3 or 4 years. This way, both socks are in the same state of unfinishedness, both will be at the same gauge, and both will actually be the same length. All good things I thing. Size 0 needles though are a bit much…it must be love if I'm knitting the man socks on size 0's.

Must get back to my criminal law class. For some reason, this class is really offending my sense of justice and right and wrong. I'm really starting to think Hammurabi had the right of it.
