Relaxing

I can finally start to relax. All the papers that I need to turn in have been turned in. I just washed all of my dishes. I still kinda need to clean my room.
My problem now is that I'm not very excited about anything I'm knitting. In all three of my projects I'm at the point where I'm just repeating the same thing over and over again until whatever it is gets long enough. I absolutely refuse to start another project until I have finished at least two of these. Unless I need to start my brother's Christmas present.
I just hate feeling like I'm not getting anywhere with any of these, and the fact that there are three of them just makes it less likely that I'll move very quickly along with any of them. I like finishing things, but it's hard to get myself to sit down for any prolonged period of time to knit when the prospect of what I am knitting is so boring. Luckily my hatred of unfinished objects, my minimal stash, and financial situation (i.e. poor and cheap) all combine to keep me from casting on anything else else.
We'll have to see what happens when I am completely out of school for the semester.

Snow!


The first snow of the season is falling! And it's sticking much better than the newsmen predicted.
I haven't had much knitting time, I have a math paper to write, but the end is near! In less than two weeks I'll be at home and knitting my fingers off.
But for now, my math paper is calling...

FAIL!

I think I've failed so far in my blogging experience. I have been so wrapped up in schoolwork (and the minor mental breakdowns that come along with it this time of year) that I have completely neglected my blog.
I finished the Syrian Shoulder Shawl, and my tea cozy. I'm stretching myself too far with a lace scarf, a smoke ring, and a cabled scarf for my grandmother. I can't remember every having so many projects going at once. I think it kind of reflects my current inward state. I'm all over the place. Hopefully I'll get back here more often.
