News!
Hello everyone!! My best friend T just had her baby last night! He is a boy and was born at 5:28 PM and is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!!! (Okay so I haven't seen him in person yet because she is back home but she texted me some pictures yesterday!) Both mom and baby are doing well and the dad is so proud looking! Hehehe! And yeah my friend is my age which I think is a bit young for a baby but still it happened and she and her husband, C, will take good care of new baby, Jr. Also I am the godmother of Jr and I am excited! That means I get to spoil him, yay! Hehehe Knowing the family he is in and the fact that he is the firstborn/only child I don't think that this will be a problem. ;)
Yesterday in Quant lab I got silver nitrate on my hands...for those who do not know that stuff stains your hands, and clothes, and floor for ever. Well not skin so much, it's already starting to come off so it's not a big deal. The sad part was that I also got some on my jeans but it isn't really noticeable so once again...not a big deal!
Also on a knitting note I finished the hat for my roomie! I don't know if she likes it because I am not giving it to her until her birthday! Still she keeps asking for it and she liked it as I was making it so I think that she will enjoy it!
All right that is all my news for now, other then this weekend is Fall Break!!!! Woo hoo! No school monday or tuesday and I get to go home for it! Yay!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!! Okay, okay I'll try to calm down! ;)
Bye bye for now!

It's Been a Bit
Hey, sorry for not updating in a while but I guess i warned you that this could happen! ;) Well the past couple weeks have been pretty good. Last weekend my parents and younger brother came up for Family Day at my college. I hung out with them from Friday afternoon til Sunday afternoon which was pretty much awesome! I have been missing them and so that was really great. (Yeah I am a loser who actually likes her family and gets along with them and misses them and gets homesick occasionally even if she is in her second year of college) Next weekend is our fall break which means no school on Mon Oct. 13 or Tues Oct. 14! Yay! Four day weekend and I'll being going home for it! (My school pretty much shuts down for the break thereby forcing you to leave).
I got back my test grades for both my chemistry classes which was good because I was worried about them. I got a 95% on my Quant test (yay!) and an 88% on my organic test (Yay but could of been better). I also got back my WWII map assignment which I got a 92% on! The Supplemental Instructor (SI) for the course said that I was probably one of the only ones who got an A on it which made me feel god since I worked hard on that paper! Overall right now school is going really well.
I am excited for Halloween though since that is coming up pretty darn soon! (Okay in 27 days which isn't soon but still) Although I do not yet have a costume so any ideas are welcome. Some rules though: nothing short or tight or skin revealing because I don't like that and I'm in Pennsylvania...Halloween is cold and has been snowy before. Thanks!
As for knitting? Well I have knitted up some Halloween decorations which are now hanging in my room. I made a pumpkin, two jack o'lanterns, a spider, and four ghosts. THey are adorable and really quite quick to do up. They are from an issue of Creative Knitting from a couple of years ago. I also started the Zero from Knitted Toy Box but haven't finished it yet. That is because I am still finishing up the Kitty Ears Hat for my roomie for her birthday (although she knows about it and gave me the yarn hehe) from the Stitch N'Bitch book by Debbie Stoller. I am almost done with it and so far am pretty happy with how it is turning out. Ugh....If only I had a camera I would be able to put up pictures of all of this!!! Oh well...maybe for Christmas! :)
That's it for this post so please read and lave a comment!

The Weekend!
Well sorry to be MIA for so long but I am finally starting to feel better. I went to the clinic because I have been having lower abdomen pains and it turns out that I probably have some ovarian cysts. They are not that serious and should pass when my time of the month comes. Until then I just have to put up with them and I can take some aspirin or ibuprofin to help. *sigh*
Then my Organic Chemistry lab took waaaaaaaaay longer then it was supposed to yesterday which angered me especially since at the end it still didn't work out right! GRRRR! Part of the problem was for two different parts we had to do vacuum filtration and my sink was not creating a very good vacuum (the teacher even said so) and that made the two filtrations take a long time and I didn't get all that great of a percent recovery. On top of all that the teacher just wasn't very helpful...He usually isn't. I am a very nervous person and if things don't work out right or if I can't control them I tend to freak out REALLY easily and the teacher kept making comments about that (he was amazed...to me it is a fact of life and I try to stay calm) Oh well it is over with now.
Today went pretty well, I had a Spanish test which I think I did pretty well on. I took up to Spanish III in high school, reagents level (if you are from New York you understand that, if not, they are really difficult tests at the end of certain subjects that you have to pass in order to graduate...not fun), and this is an intro course so it is basically review. Then I got to do homework for about 5 hours (I am not even kidding, I already took out the time for dinner) and I am still not done. I will finish tomorrow but I probably still have a couple of hours of work depending on how quickly I can figure out the post and pre lab questions and such. Augh....Well enough about the bad stuff! I had some good stuff happen yesterday! I got a new pair of sneakers from the "Secret Sneaker Sale" my college had. They are Reebok running ones that were only $36 and they seemed to help during lab yesterday. The real test will come on Tuesday when I am on my feet for 4 hours for Quant lab. >.< I also got a letter from my Grandpa who lives all the way up in Maine! He is doing pretty well at the moment and I have to try and remember to write him back a letter this weekend, hehehe.
As for knitting right now I am making some Halloween decorations for my house and dorm room. They are from Sept/Oct issue of the magazine CreativeKnitting from a couple of years ago. I have made the pumpkins, ghost and spider from it, they are adorable and really quick and easy to make! I will probably start on a Kittyville Hat from the book Stitch'n'Bitch (sp?) by Debbie Stoller for my roomie soon. She likes it and provided yarn so we will see how that goes! I also want to make Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas movie which I absolutely love/am obsessed with. I found the pattern here: http://knittedtoybox.blogspot.com/2008/04/zero-ghostly-dog.html and am pretty pumped about. It also has a link to a pattern for Jack from the movie which I also want to try once I get some more black yarn (I am almost out). So all in all I have a couple of projects set up and everything is going pretty well. Hopefully it stays that way! Hehehe!

Good News
Good news everyone! I finished my socks! I am pretty happy with them, mistakes and all. I actually finished them last night but I didn't feel like posting...it was rather late after all. ;) I am also feeling better which is a huge plus. I finally got some cold medicine and a lot of sleep both of which really helped me. On Friday I got a package from my mom containing some goodies. She made me a Peanuts character Halloween purse, a Christmas purse, and a tiny tree skirt! I was very happy with them all and thanked her (don't worry!)! Over all this weekend was pretty good and hopefully this week will be as well!

Hey Everyone
Hey everyone, so far this week isn't too bad, I am just sick! Bleh I can't win apparently! hehehe I guess I have a cold which isn't too bad, just really annoying to have to go to classes with! I have a stuffed up nose, I am tired, achy, just bleh all over so it's definitely a cold or a touch of the flu...*Sigh* Therefore this is a short little entry. Good news! I have finished one sock!!!!! I am very excited that it fits! I made some mistakes that if I were to do the entire pair over again I would fix but since I am not...the mistakes stay. That is how I know that I made the socks! hehehe I have started the second sock as well and hope to have that done sometime soon. Once again, if I had a camera I would post pictures but sadly...I am camera-less. Well except for my cell phone camera but it is not that great and I don't have the cord to attach it to my computer to load the pictures, and since I am cheap/poor...I don't really plan on getting one! ;) That's it for now, I am going to go lie down for a bit.

More Optimistic
Hey everyone!
I actually have some halfway decent good news to report today! According to the AES website I have been approved by those two loans that I suddenly had to apply for. Apparently the bank is going to send me information about disbursement so hopefully that happens soon. On the plus side however, I have done everything that I could have! So i guess that i can't really do anything about it so hopefully it all works out. Also about the other day's post? (The not for kids one?) Yeah one quick thing about that, people knew it was happening, there were newsreels about it (video) and newspaper articles It wasn't being hushed up really, it was out there in the open. Grrr... okay enough about such unpleasant topics!
Today wasn't too bad, I was just incredibly tired! I don't know why i just was. I am going to try to get to sleep a bit earlier than normal so that I am not so tired tomorrow morning for lab! ;) Other than that though, it was a good day. Not too much homework, a movie in WWII, and it was beautiful out! Not too hot, not too cold. Although I must admit that I can't wait until fall happens. I love when the leaves turn colors and everything just looks so festive! Plus there are three major holidays in a row and I absolutely ADORE holidays!!!! I like to get all festive and in the spirit, painting my nails, fun earrings, fun socks, seeing the family, it's all good! The only sad thing is that I really don't have any fun socks or earrings for Thanksgiving but I plan on fixing that at some point. Actually my friend made me a pair of turkey earrings out of Polymer Clay a couple years ago that were adorable but they fell apart and the turkeys broke. I was really quite sad. I hope to get some news ones though, so I will be keeping my eyes open and if you see any/know where there might be some don't hesitate to tell me! Please! so yeah...Yay for fall!
About the socks that I was knitting, still knitting them! I really do like them unfortunately I messed up on the heel so there is a line of holes where they rejoin to the rest of the sock. It is because I didn't understand the whole "wrap and turn" thing. I got the wrap but when I went back and knitted them I forgot to pick up the wrap part too. Since I didn't want to rip it out I decided to leave it there. It actually looks kind of cool because it goes with the lacy-holey pattern of the rest of the sock. I will just do the same thing on the other sock! And next time I guess I know to grab the wrap part of the stitch as well! ;) Well anyways that is all for now and I hope that next time I will be even farther on the sock and I will have good news again! :)
