One week down, 15 to go.

Yesterday was officially the last day of the first full week of skool. Going ok so far, especially since I only have one real class, a seminar on contemporary art and theories of witness. It is pretty nice to only have a hundred dollars in books to buy. There is also the fee for horseback riding, but that is not so bad. I am still managing to put money into the Italia fund. Will summer never come? On the work front, teaching is going well so far. They are a pretty smart bunch; lots of majors. Sometimes this is good, i.e. interesting and thought provoking comments. Sometimes it is bad, i.e. lazy smartasses. My department tends to breed those (grad and undergrad...).

Today I finished J's Mossdog sweater and he keeps saying it is the best knitting thing I have ever made (doubtful); however, he also didn't mind scolding me for not doing prelims reading today. You don't get it both ways, baby. I'd just be happy with the sweater if I were you. I will force him to model after his night class.

We went rollerskating last Tuesday. It was wicked awesome. I was expecting it to be nearly empty: one or two weirdos skating aimlessly and me requesting Whitesnake songs. It wasn't exactly packed, but there was a fair crowd. Some of the skaters were really rad. We were getting better by the time we left, but still held hands for balance some of the time. Much fun. When is everyone else coming?!? Soon, I hope. Gotta break in those skates! Also, I need a Roller Vixen Costume. Hmmm... Tonight will be more subdued,I'm afraid. I may work on the socks that I started some time last year...

Here is some Wensleydale that I spun up the other day. It is rather even if a bit hairy and not very soft. Easy spinning, though.

I think I will sleep in tomorrow. It is a bitch to teach M-W-F instead of T-R, but at least its not until after noon.
