On Sunday, I had some friends over for a yarn party. The idea was to knit and craft, and then take so me yarn when you leave. It was last minute, so there are several people who couldn’t make it, but I did make som de-stashing progress!

It was also loads of fun. I’ll have to do this again sometime; I loved getting a chance to hang out and knit with my friends. Plus, I had an excuse to make pie. Mmm, pie. I actually tried Trader Joe’s pie crusts for the first time, and they were really fantastic. But if you use the apple pie recipe on the back, you might want to cut down the cinnamon to a 1/2 tsp.

Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten much knitting in. In preparation for the whole wanting to go back to school thing, I’ve started taking a course at UC Berkeley’s extension program. It’s an abnormal psychology course, which is really interesting, but the downside is that it meets on Saturdays for six hours a day. Yay, compressed semesters!

Aside from that, I need to start studying for the GRE. I don’t typically study for standardized tests, but I think I need to this time. First, because I haven’t done math in about 10 years, and I need to practice if I want to pass. Second, because I know I’ll wonder how much better I would have done if I’d studied, if I take the test without studying. I did that with the SATs and I still wonder. Finally, it’s freakin expensive to take the GRE! I don’t want to wind up taking it twice.

What I really need is another pair of hands, so I can knit and study at the same time. Anyone know how to arrange that?
