Notes Before I Sleep
- I'm not sure if I want to take the class I'm signed up for this term. I have 9 days to reflect on this. In not category, but I'm not going to rush
- Good response from a real grad school. "Passed the first cut" (Also, I have to dig up college credit transcripts from things I took in high school, which blows.) There is a possible/very likely interview. Still not wild about the locale, but actually not discouraged. G., begged me not to go in an incredibly adorable exchange, though I can't possibly contextualize it properly in the context of this post, so you'll have to trust me.
- I finished the third scene in the chapter I'm currently working on. Started the forth. THis sounds more impressive than "300" words, so I'm running with that. Slow and steady, eh?
- Yarn store work has been very busy and very not-knitting related. Which is par for the course, because there's lots of stuff that needs doing: sock, labeling, yarn winding, pattern research, etc. And I don't mind this, except that it leaves me sort of irritated feeling about my own knitting, which means I haven't really been knitting much during my off times, and because I'm busy doing other things during the day, I don't get much knitting done a all.
- I'm realizing that working at knitting shops makes me a very introverted knitter. The last time I worked at a shop, a few summers ago, I spent a lot of my free time knitting alone to sort of recover, and thats the same sort of thing that I find myself wanting now.
- I wore an older sweater and pair of socks that I knit a long long time ago. It was nice, and I remember how much I liked these things.
Ok, over and out. tycho must sleep sometime.
Onward and Upward!
