I'm going to pay how much a year to work with yarn?
I suppose this is a good a time as any to announce that I've been accepted to Philadelphia University for the fall. I'm officially enrolled in the Textile Design program, which is a Bachelor of Science degree (and I do not anticipate being mature enough not to giggle over getting a BS anytime soon). However, depending on my math placement scores, I may pursue a Engineering Degree with a concentration in Textiles. In any case, there will be a lot of fiber in my future. Hopefully that will mean more exciting things to show you, but it might just be lots of swatches as I learn to use the knitting machines and looms. I'm not entirely sure what to expect.
I'm almost through finals (one more on Monday!), so a significant portion of my brain functions should return shortly. I have discovered just how much of a stress knitter I am, as I completed both the front and back of a sweater in a matter of three days. I imagine that the sleeves will take at least another month without the pressure of knowing that there's something else I really should be doing. I'm leaving for New Jersey on Tuesday morning, and then for Florida on the 22nd. I don't expect to finish a ton of knitting this summer, because funds are low, and who really wants to knit 100 degree weather? I do have the second Pomatomus sock to do, which should occupy me on the plane and in the car. Perhaps I'll pick up another skein of sock yarn, as we have a couple road trips planned, including one to Disney. :D
That's all for now, I suppose. I feel a little boring sans pictures.
OH WAIT! I really did forget something. I received a scholarship from PhilaU (we'll call them that, because who really wants to attend a school called PU?). It's not huge, and I didn't even apply for it, but it was awarded to me on the basis of my current GPA. I'm so very happy and grateful. Everything is really going so well.

Hey Chica!
Congrats on the school and scholarship!! And you're moving to my favorite city - Philadelphia! I love that place!
I wish I could see you before you leave, but I think you're already gone. =(
Keep in touch, and I'll give you a call/e-mail when I'm in Philly...which is often!
congrats
Very best of luck in fiber school. I like your blog and your attitude.
