Classes start tomorrow.
I just found out one of my professors expects us to always be in business casual dress. That just isn't going to work for me. I'm already paying a fortune for this school, and now they expect me to buy a new wardrobe? Besides, I can't concentrate, especially on learning, when I'm wearing uncomfortable clothes or feeling self-conscious. We'll see how that one goes.

Here, But Not Settled
In Ithaca.
My apartment is smaller than I remember it.
I need a bedroom door or I'll kill Fenway.
About halfway through unpacking.
My first orientation event is in two hours.
Think I can find campus?
A little silliness for today:

Crafty Update7/29
Culinary:
Maybe I should just get rid of this category until I actually cook anything. I can't even cook frozen meals- definitely time to go to the grocery store.
Reading:
Today I finished "Morality for Beautiful Girls", part of the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. It's the third book I have read by this author, and I still cannot decide if I like his writing style or not. It is very different than anything else out there. It feels to me like the characters are talking about themselves in the third person, even though it is actually a third person narration. I am going to borrow two more of that series from my roommate. Maybe then I will be able to figure out if I like them. I also read "Repair to Her Grave" and "Wicked Fix" by Sarah Graves. Now, I love a good trashy mystery novel. In fact, they are my favorite. Yet, Graves' books are too trashy, even for me. I have not read such a poorly written novel in a very long time. She would say things such as "I didn't know it at the time, but that was important." Thank you, I passed third grade English and know what foreshadowing is. You do not need to beat me over the head with it!
Scrapbooking:
I think my scrapbook stuff probably will not reemerge until I move.
Knitting:
Lots of knitting this week. I finished the pieces to the bag I was working on last week. I just need to sew it together so I can felt it. I made what is going to be a coin purse with the same yarn. I felted it today (my first felting experience), and I think it came out fairly well, at least well enough so that I am willing to try felting again. Friday night I did a quick scarf like the one in my last post for my mother. I also started work on another felted bag. This week, I need to do some hand sewing, finish the second bag, and maybe even go back to my lace scarf again.
Podcasts:
Too busy trying to straighten out my computer issues.
Movies:
Saw "The Sting" with one of my roommates. A little long, but such an amazing cast.
Red Sox:
Yes, I cried when Jon Lester pitched again. Are you surprised? Oh, and last night's 12 inning debacle? I am glad we won, but can we finish them a little earlier from now on guys? The Yankees gaining on us is making me nervous.
Other:
Went out to brunch at S&S with Sarah this morning. Lots of fun!

Weekly Crafty Update 7/22
What have I been up to this week? To be honest, a whole lot of Harry Potter.
Culinary:
Let's be honest, the only thing that I remotely came close to cooking this week was the strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit salad I made for breakfast. Oh, and cinnamon toast yesterday.
Reading:
Finished re-reading "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". Read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" yesterday, then re-read the last six chapters for good measure. I am still not quite sure how I feel about it.
Scrapbooking:
Nada. It's the whole one craft thing. I was too busy knitting and reading this week.
Knitting:
I had a lot more time to knit this week than I thought I would. I finished the bottom and two sides of what will be my felted bag. I'm working on the front and back now. After that, I need to press it all and put it together so I can start my felting experiment.

I also worked on my lacy scarf while waiting for Harry Potter to arrive. I think I'm finally at 6 inches. My camera ran out of batteries, so no picture of that this week.
Podcasts:
I discovered two new awesome podcasts this week: Cast On and Shortorder.tv. I'm a little worried that the second one isn't producing any more podcasts, which would be an utter shame because 3 minute meals are something even I can do.
Red Sox:
It is a good thing the Sox won their last two games. I have been so disgusted with them that I have not watched a game in a week and a half. I'm really looking forward to Lester's return tomorrow night.
Other:
My roommate threw a Harry Potter party Friday night. She decorated the whole apartment and we played trivia, pin the tail on the Dudders, and just had a lot of fun. OK yes, we're dorks, and proud of it.
