Alive, But Just Barely

I can't believe it has been nearly a month since I updated! I hang my head in bloggish shame.

However the time in between posts had not gone idly by. Dan and I got married.

Just kidding. :)

I submitted my grad school application. And my application for a Graduate Assistantship. And submitted one of my papers for a scholarship award that's being given out later in the semester.

Not kidding.

Now the waiting begins. Waiting to find out if I was accepted into the grad school. Waiting to find out if I will be getting my tuition waived, teaching a course
(!!!!!) and helping students out in the writing center on campus. Keep your stitches crossed for me!

It's highly stressful. I keep suddenly realizing that all this stressful life changing stuff is out there, waiting in the ether, waiting to be judged, waiting until I hear back about whether or not my life will continue on the path that I'm hoping it will, and then my heart stops, my stomach twists and I have to try not to cry.

I have two FOs that I need to photograph and post, but my knitting time has been drastically reduced by the amount of homework that I have from day to day. Spring break is next week and I'm not going to have any time then either, as I'm scheduled to work 37 hours, have 3 books to read and two research projects to get started on. But I do have a few projects that I'm hoping to work on during the break.

How have you been?

Just catching up on some blog reading. Finger definately crossed that you get into the graduate program. I can't see why they wouldn't want a fine knitter like you to add to their school.

Maybe you should get married to take your mind off school :)
