So I’m studying, off and on, for my midterm. I have now gone through all the weeks of lecture notes, matching up what is in my notes to the slides from the lectures to the slides of the midterm review. I think I get most of it, at least on paper. Actually doing it will be something else, but that’s not until two weeks from today, so for now I’m just trying to get the written test material down. For the most recent topics I recognize I need to do the homework assignment to better understand what’s going on. But, of course, I can’t even figure out how to START the homework assignment. I emailed the professor yesterday with my beginning questions, but so far no response. I hope he’s not tanning down in Florida.

In between study periods I worked on a knitting project. I’m knitting a sweater for my sister. She saw it in the window of a Traverse City yarn shop when we were traveling last summer. She bought the pattern, I went to my local library and retaught myself how to do some fancy stitches, and away we go! It’s a nice relaxing thing to do that doesn’t allow you to eat while you’re doing it, two benefits in one project!

I’m also beginning to do homework for my other two classes. I realize I can’t focus my entire week on the web class, as frightening as it has become. So I worked on my collection management group project, doing some research for our group paper. And tonight, even though it is after 8 p.m. I’m starting on my individual paper that is due a week from Monday. Once I’m back in school and at work next week I will have less time to get this done, so I’d like to get it done or at least roughed in this week. Next week I will be stressing over the practical web design exam and a presentation as well as this individual paper, all due within three days of each other. Better to get as much done as I can. Studying for the web test just isn’t productive after awhile.

So…knit, knit, yarn over, slip stitch, knit two together…write a paragraph or two…sit and contemplate….write another paragraph, knit some more…it will all work out. But I wish it was the end of March instead of the end of February! Then I’d be ALMOST DONE!
