Sock, School, and Studying Struggles

Once again blogging when I'm really supposed to be doing something else. This time it is studying for my businss mid-term that starts at 2:30 this afternoon, I know I should at least go over my notes once, but I find it very hard to study for midterms when they are open book. It is more or less kills any will I have to study, since I never have much of it to begin with, when I am told that it is going to be an open book midterm. Especially this midterm where we've already done a mock last class and we are changing rooms to be able to spread out more which is awesome, I've had too many midterms where you can have all your books out at once.

On another note, I am crazy busy today after school that is. I have an hour between school being over and when I'm going to a Poli Sci Career Night, which I just learned is in some crazy building on the other side of campus from where I'm headed next. And then I'm going to a movie with Kat. It's one of those movies nobody has heard about but has A-List actors, so it will be interesting to see.

In other news, since Sunday I have read 4, count 'em FOUR, books. This is pretty intense, even for me. Luckily two of them were short little books, and these were even knitting books. The other two were longer novels but seemed to be the type that you just can't put down. So I have done no school work and gotten no sleep but I have read four books lately.

Reading the knitting books made me feel more content with knitting but also that I should do what I have been dreading for the past half a month. That is pull out the mistake I made in my sock. I even have pictures of how dreadful it was.

Here is my pretty littlle sock just as I started to unravel it. After painstakingly moving the stitches to the right spot and everything I started knitting the instep stitches instead of the heel because of a misread in the pattern. In my defense I think I started to divide this at like really really late at night when my brain stopped functioning etc.

And here is a picture of my sock once I had finished frogging. I am so upset, I was even going to start turning the heel and everything. Now I have to start again which is harder than I thought. Especially because *gasp* I don't feel like knitting right now. And by now I mean since like Sunday evening I haven't felt like knitting, I haven't touched any yarn or gone through any knitting books since then. (Ok... one knitting book but just because I was mentioning it to someone) And all plans of any Olympic knitting has been put on hold, lack of funds and lack of inspiration has been my problem.

Hopefully this dry spell won't last for long and I'll have some finished product to show you (ya right). But enjoy the Olympics that are happening just across the water from me while I have a lovely visit from the bf and do waaay too much homework on my week off.
