Exams ended a week ago today...but it always takes me some time to get back into the swing of the blog thing. I tend to feel overwhelmed by all the stuff that has happened in the interim and unable to compose a reasonable sized entry. And so I procrastinate...
Summer has now started, I have a to-do list a mile long and no job. I'm of mixed feelings. I need to make money...I can't just keep living on borrowed money, I need to start paying some of it back. That being said...assuming I get a job next year, I'll never have another opportunity to have such freedom...that kind of spare time. And so I procrastinate...
I've taken up knitting...as much as that makes me sound like a grandmother, but here's what I figure: When my friends start having babies, I want to be able to make cashmere blankets for them. I think that will be lovely...but a) cashmere is pricey stuff so I don't want to even consider it until I'm fairly good, and b) I want them to be lovely, not crappy, beautiful, not ugly. I don't give crappy gifts. All of this adds up to a lot of practice, and so I've taken up knitting.
Oh and I finally got my hands on a copy of Deliverance by James Dickey which I've wanted to read for awhile. I've known the Dueling Banjo music from the movie since I was a kid but never saw the movie, and was curious. I'm only about a quarter of the way in...but the book has impending doom written all over it. I know I'm not going to like the way it ends.
Oh, and Canucks game tonight...I have not great feeling about it...but maybe expect the worst, hope for the best?
