is it over yet?

nope. Not by a long shot.

I wanted to visit the Paternal Grandmother this past weekend but I was emotionally drained and had high levels of anxiety (thank you neurological chemical imbalance). It didn't help that my battery died Thursday night, no worries now I have a new one.

Saturday I worked at my LYS all day; very last minute deal. It helped to get away from life and help other knitters.

the "can you translate French?" test was today. I thought they wanted a word-for-word transliteration and spent two hours struggling over half the passage. I tried so hard to give her a near perfect translation. This was difficult, seeing that my French is worst than I thought (which wasn't much to begin with). Oh well. It's out of my hands now. Deep, cleansing breathes.

I also intended to turn in a re-formatted thesis today. Printed it off in a computer lab. Took it to be printed on the special paper. Paid for 4 bindings at the Burster's office. Then I realized I had left the page of signatures at home. You know, the one that says everyone liked it enough for me to graduate next month? Yeah, that one.

obviously, today was a lesson in letting things go. I am an examine supervisor this week for the local public school. Lots of knitting time as I walk around to check on people. I get paid to walk around and knit. Naturally, there are some kids that just don't get:
  1. how important the test is
  2. how to manage time
  3. the value of taking as much time as possible
  4. how to write neatly
like I said, this is just another lesson about letting things go.

before I sign off for the night, Sister and her Boyfriend are still here. She is sick and he is taking care of her. This means there is no parking in the carport and I am having control issues. Thanks panic disorder, I really needed the help.
