Back to School again!

My postings may become infrequent again, although I'll try my damn hardest not to let that happen. Class starts on Monday and I finally got access to the e-classroom. On my class homepage there is a picture of a chicken. I think the professor has a sense of humor!

Current WIPs: a sock (my very first!) that I started on the drive back from Tucson. I have about 12 rounds to go before starting the heel...but I don't know when that will happen. Right now I'm trying to finish a HP House Scarf. Yes, I know it's damn late but well, I didn't even start it until last week. It's actually for football/marching band season, and I'm pretty sure I'll have it done before my son's first field show.

On a happy note, we finished up our Summer Reading Program at work, and the grand prize (a laptop!) went to a very deserving kid who read 62 books. And he really read them, unlike many of our kids who just jot down the titles. Sometimes things really work out.

I got an F...O, that is, and also an A

Well, I'm off to a good start in grad school, I got an A in my first class! Now if I can only just register for my next class, which I can't do until I get an immunization form signed by my doctor's office...I've been calling them for the past two days, they keep saying they'll fax it but I still haven't received a copy and there's still a hold on my school account keeping me from registering. I'm headed down there this morning and I'm not leaving until I get that form signed.

I also finished the baby blanket. I didn't finish it before the baby shower but I saw my friend yesterday and so I stayed up the night before to weave in all the ends that still needed weaving. I didn't have time to take a pic; she's promised to take one when she opens it.

I survived Library School Boot Camp!

My apologies to anyone who actually reads my blog, I know it's been over a month since I last posted. I've been busy with graduate school (still get a chill when I say that...)
My first course involved a seven-day intensive face-to-face residency in Tucson, which took place at the end of July. I was expecting 100+ degree weather but got monsoons instead. There were thunderstorms every afternoon and reports of flooded streets. Thank goodness I never encountered any of the flooding, even though I was staying about 20 miles away in Oro Valley. I met some great people, who I hopefully will encounter throughout the program, even though I'll be taking the rest of my classes online.
I have been knitting, I'm almost finished with a baby blanket for my friend Hazel who is expecting in October. The baby shower is in two days so I really need to get cracking, or else I'll be at Babies R Us on Saturday morning looking for a replacement gift.
