Stress!

It's not even 10am and I can see that it's going to be one of those days. I find list making to be stress-relieving (although I suspect that it is also the root cause of additional stress), so this is everything that is making me stressed right now:

• I have to finish this research paper. It's due by 1pm tomorrow. I have an awesome outline that is longer than the minimum length of the paper, so I should be set. I just have to write now.
• I still don't have a place to live starting on Sunday.
  
• I need to pack. I've started this, so now my entire apartment is in disarray.
• Fenway knows something is up and is freaking out.
• I need to work out the details of the sublet of my apartment.
• I have a million errands to run, and no time to do them.
• I haven't even thought about my last paper.
• My funding hasn't arrived yet.
• Did I mention I don't have a place to live and I have an important paper due in 27 hours?

I wish I were here

Paper Due in < 5 Hours

So what am I doing? Staring at my Ravelry queue. Seriously, I cannot wait until the only things I have to do are work, go to the gym, and knit. I know it's overly ambitious, but I want to get through my three started projects and a good potion of the 14 items in my queue this summer. Besides the bolero I showed you yesterday, I can't wait to make these:

Boing! by Anne Hanson. I'm buying the kit for that one as soon as I have an address where they can ship it at the end of May.

I Need to Make This

It's number 5 in my Ravelry queue, not to mention the three projects that I'm currently working on, but I really need to make it. In red. Won't that be cute?

Two Finished Projects

The cursed scarf is finished and blocked, yay! I even really like it. Sorry that the picture looks like I am decapitated, but I took this picture first thing in the morning before I'd put on my contacts or brushed by hair.
Details:
Started- August 2007
Completed- May 3, 2008
Pattern- Lace 1, 2, 3 Shadow Scarf by Kelley Petkun

Notes- so much easier with stitch markers and blocking made all the difference in the world

I also finished these Holly Socks awhile ago:

What's Been Going On

I finished the cursed purple lace scarf, yay! It's being blocked as we speak. I've also started two pairs of socks, my first pair of magic loop and a mock cable I am absolutely in love with right now.

Classes ended last week, and Friday was "Slope Day", Cornell's annual end of year celebration. I had people over (finally got to enjoy my porch), and just had a wonderful day hanging out with all my friends that I don't see often enough.

I can't believe that I start work in DC in two weeks! I have to find a place to live, write three papers, take one test, and pack everything up before then. I'm going to be super busy. I think the thing that I'm most excited about is reconnecting with some of my friends from college who are still in the area.
