I really intended to have a knitting post for you. I was going to tell you how I’d fnished the sleeves for Under the Hoodie, woven in the ends for Soleil and maybe even have photos of me modeling Soleil.

Needless to say, none of that happened.

What happened instead was that I spent yesterday running errands and today panicking.

See, I have some stuff coming up for school. Like, a paper on the policy process leading up to Project Mercury and a paper analyzing a campaign ad from the Alito campaign and a story about HIV due on Wednesday. Plus an oral Italian midterm on Tuesday and the written Italian midterm on Wednesday.

And I leave town on Thursday to go to San Francisco (anyone know of any SF area yarn shops?)

So…I had a plan. The plan was to get up this morning at six am, work really hard, finish printing out the e-book for my space policy paper and then be able to relax and knit a few rows during A Beautiful Mind and maybe even go stalk watch The West Wing film tomorrow.

Instead, I woke up late with a sore throat. As if that didn’t suck enough I tried to print out my space policy book and realized…the printer? Had died.

So instead of working, I spend this morning at Best buy getting a new printer. It’s a very nice printer and hopefully it will hold up better than the old one.

So…it looks like I will be spending most of my ‘free’ time (that is, time not in class, asleep, or at work) doing homework. And not the fun homework either–yes there is such a thing, at least when you’re taking screenwriting.

I may try to finish the sleeves though. I’m so close.
