Joys of Teacherhood
Today I am just dying to talk about my students' crazy papers, but I know that it would somehow come back to bite me in the derriere, so alas, no public discussion of Manipulations of The Phallus.
In other news, I finally finished That Damned Sock. Only one more to go. Though the going was very slow on this pair, I am actually getting excited about learning the 2-circulars method on some sweet-and-tart Knitpicks yarn. Also, the stuff I dyed for Orangina might become other various objects from socks to scarves. I am afraid I am just not feeling the lace. It is soooo sloooow. Also, I have to concentrate too hard to watch media whilst knitting. Some concentration is just fine, even a little fair isle here and there, but I am deathly afraid of dropping/losing/generally screwing up the lace and not being able to go back to fix it. Maybe a more open (i.e. quicker) lace shawl or something? The problem with that is that chances are good I would not wear it. Nor do I really know any lacy women who would. Maybe I should jump on the Clapotis bandwagon? Dunno. Maybe next summer will be an Orangina summer. Its way to cold already now. And rainy. And generally icky. Why can't "dry" and "sweater weather" go together? I can't wait to move back to the east
That day is only vaguely on the horizon. Had a meeting with my adviser today. I have to start compiling my Booklist in preparation for the Dreaded Prelims. Can't I just assure them that I am, in fact, a supergenius and be on my merry way?
Well, at least the peanut butter cookies I just baked will console me (and J who has had a devil of a time with an evil computer program he is writing...). I got to wear my brand new apron! It started out as a skirt and when I realized that I had cut the pieces all wrong, it became the nifty apron pictured below. It is reversible: stripes on one side, mod cats on the other. Maybe one day I will submit an entry to Tie One On, the monthly themed apron round-up. I really love wearing aprons. My old liberated Body Shop uniform is probably still my favorite since it is black and emminently washable (and slimming, that is important, especially if I want to enjoy the Consoling Cookies) , but this one will come pretty close (vertical stripes are slimming, too...). I even have a new hair flower to match!
Well, off now to pick up J from the wilds of the Computer Lab... ttfn.
