Radio silence for the win.
So, that happened. School’s been kicking my ass for 3+ months now. Awesome! I’m taking two lab sciences and a difficult math class, plus an anthro class, so basically I spend all my time doing work.
Except for in the month of November, when I spent all my time doing work so I could spend a few hours writing a novel between 11pm and 1am every day. I love my novel. No seriously. But I had to put it down until exams are over (December 18 please arrive soon).
But! Here’s what I’m really here for. I went to pick up my mail today and had a package. Not expecting any mail, I was surprised. When I was handed the package, I squished it a bit, confused, muttering, “This squishes like yarn.” (Quietly.)

(there was candy too, but I eated it)
I just wanted to send a giant thank you to Mandy. It’s been a rough week, and it’s going to keep being rough, but Mandy sent me two skeins of Peace Fleece in a yummy moss green and two patterns: Dinosaurs and Big Teddy with Overalls. Seriously. Thank you so much.
School has made me lose my mind for anything that isn’t Organic Chem or Genetics or Flux Integrals.
Thank you Mandy. Thank you so much.
LOL I just checked my Ravelry, and of course now I remember where this is from. MANDY! You rock hardcore. Thank you. I was all “mystery package yarn?!?!??!?!?” for a few hours today. Hah.
Oh, and I’ve knit some stuff. Or whatever.
Oooh, surprise yarn! Awesome!
Also, I don’t know what a flux integral is, but just thinking about it makes me feel sort of stupid.
I know! Surprise presents!
You don’t want to know. Forget I mentioned it. =P
Ah, Organic Chem. I’m so glad I’m done with orgo – although right now I’m taking a Materials Chemistry class that is positively eating my soul, not least because I start talking about electrospun nanofiber sheets of chitosan and silk fibroin and my friends’ eyes glaze over. Good luck with school! Not too much longer!
I hear you on the difficult courses. No time to knit at all! I love your yarn acquisition.
