If you're wondering what the hell that's all about, it's the waiting list for Ravelry, the knitting community to end all knitting communities. It's like the Elder stone, Philosopher's Stone, One Ring AND Excalibur of knitting communities. For serious. (ravelry.com)

In other news I've been feeling grungy. The cold, assignments and general ill health have not helped. 3 due in the next two weeks. One I haven't EVEN  STARTED. Oh. Whoops.

I have broken out of my knitting hiatus, with a magnificent knitted hexagon. I'm thinking of turning it into a broach, or something. 

ALSO: My brother's girlfriend may be moving in with us. More news as it comes...

You know what? I fricking hate hate HATE assignments. Essays. EUGH. 

Uni sucks ass. Sometimes I feel it'd be easier just to drop out; but then I know it isn't, and talking about dropping out is just plain STUPID.  There's all these little moments where I wonder just WHY I'm here; I mean, what can you do with and ANTH degree?
ARGH FRUSTRATION.

But, because I refuse to post emo without some positives, here are good things about the current situation

1) My essay isn't due until next Monday
2)I have done plenty of research
3) I will never take another History paper after next semester 
4) Each paragraph only needs to be about 300 words long
5) If I finish tonight, I have a whole week to fiddle
6) I just finished my second knit hat

Tommorow is the start of Orientation Week, as most of you know.  And then it's only 7 days until my classes start...

University. I never thought I'd actually get there.

It's weird; all my life I've been sort of wandering along; wandered through school, wandered through college. Now I'll be at University, where I have all this freedom and independance; no one to tell me what to do, just go out there and do it. 

I'm so scared I almost can't stand it. I know I have great mates here; know I'm still living at home, so at least I've got some base of support, but I'm still terrified. Maybe it's because I'm subconsiously frightened about my student loan; dear old Studylink have sent me a letter saying they're assessing my application, which is bad because my fees are due on FRIDAY. WTF, Studylink? I sent in all my details about three weeks ago. Then you come and tell me I haven't, so I have to do it again. LAST week. I will find you and set the Ninjas on you. Seriously. I don't want to have to pay $150 because YOU ARE STUPID. 
*blows nose in general direction of Studylink*

I also have a job interview tommorow, for an Ezibuy store that's opening up in the Capital Gateway centre. Mostly I'm worried about my hair, because I can't think as to whether to put it up or down. It looks awful either way. At least my latest break out has gotten better. Ezibuy's clothes are nice, so I wouldn't mind having to wear them if I worked there. 

Anyways, I'm going to tidy my room and knit some more, and try not to think about tommorow.
