More to come-- promise!

Hey all, long time no post! I bet I've been deleted from everyone's daily "blogs to check list" right? Anyway, things have been just nuts lately. Add to that the fact that I can't find the cord to connect my camera to my computer and it equals no blogging. If it makes you feel better, I haven't even had time to call my mom in the last 2 1/2 weeks so....

I will order a new camera cord this weekend, I hope, so I can get you some pictures of what I've been doing--knitting-wise and socially (ha! Like I have a social life these days. Well, I think I did leave the house once or twice in the last 4 months...).

My job at the law firm went full time in February so that's kept me busy, on top of taking almost a full load of classes this semester and still working (well, sort of) at the Skirball part-time doing their cataloging. I'm almost at the end of my semester--May 15th is the golden day! Only two huge papers, 2 small papers, 2 discussion posts and an oral presentation stand between me and summer vacation...oh wait, that's right, I'm taking a class this summer too. Just one though! It will be my last official class and then in the Fall I put together my e-portfolio and then I graduate. I totally want to have a party in December. Is that totally lame, to throw yourself a graduation party? I mean I'm not asking people to give me money like its a high school graduation party or anything, I just want people to come have a good time. And I saw some totally fun graduation party supplies in the Oriental trading catalog. But I have to buy them fast because the ones with the year on them seem to disappear forever by mid-June. What about all the people that graduate in December? They never have grad party stuff available then. So unfair. What's even more unfair is that my school is too cheap to have two graduation ceremonies so I can't "walk" until May. Not that I really even care about the ceremony but my mom seems to want to fly out here for it. I'd think she'd be sick of seeing me in a cardboard hat by now--this will make graduation number 4 if you count high school....

Tristan got a full-time job as well in March. He is teaching math to a bunch of juvenile delinquents at a continuation school in the suburbs east of LA (I'd say the name but I don't want to get slapped with a defamation suit since I called them delinquents and all). More on this later--he's got stories for days...

Anyway, sorry to be away so long and next post I'll talk about my adventures in knitting (which I try to do every night to relieve some of this crazy stress!)
