I can officially say that grad school is a major time suck. That's all I've done for the last 2 weeks: grad work. Grad work and getting ready for SAFF. And going to SAFF set me back on really accomplishing anything. Not that I didn't enjoy going of course. Thus, I have declared this weekend to be a Do Nothing Weekend of Freedom. The only thing I have scheduled is a massage with my massage therapist on Saturday (at my house so I don't even have to leave) and church on Sunday. The rest of this weekend will be for accomplishing long neglected tasks such as laundry, washing dishes, logistical/business stuff for the Eastern European and Russian Orphanages Project, watching Interview With the Vampire, handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, designing a vest for a mystery KAL that starts Monday, making s'mores, reading blogs, knitting, making placinte, sorting yarn, and organizing my online finances. That all sounds like a terrible lot of stuff but it's all stuff I actually want to do, crazy as that seems. Well, maybe not the laundry or washing dishes so much but I do need some clean clothes and dishes (oh when am I going to find a man to help me with all these menial tasks....). I'm so glad this weekend is finally here. I may not be able to sleep tonight from all the excitement....
Including 2 of the whooping 5 pictures I took at SAFF.
The full booth, which was TINY! 6ft by 8ft. But Steph and I made it work.
Me in the booth. Get the full effect if it's tininess?
When you signed up, didn't you see the standard graduate school waiver about poverty, chastity, and obedience? As a survivor of 6 years of graduate school, I do wish you the very best.
ReplyDeleteAnd your tiny booth at SAFF isn't necessarily so bad. Does this tight space make my inventory look big?
