Sadpants

I haven't been doing a lot of knitting recently because my girlfriend came to visit (for 10 days, YAY)...except she went home today, BOO. I think I might be a bit too attached to her, as it always practically destroys me when she leaves after visiting.

Also, I'm a bit upset as I have two midterms this week and a paper due TOMORROW (also one of the midterms is tomorrow) that I'm not even half done with. I neglected a lot of schoolwork for my girlfriend too, which is now biting me in the ass. But since this is my last semester here and probably the last time she's ever going to visit me here, I figured it was worth it.

I'm not entirely fond of school at the moment, in case you can't tell. I just want it to be over so I can have a job I hate but at least I'll be getting paid (unlike school). All of my friends are talking about grad school and all that crap, and I'm the only person I know who has absolutely no desire for any sort of higher degree. When I was in high school, I was TOLD that all I needed was an undergraduate degree to get a decent job, and now apparently you need to have more and more schooling in order to get a job that is NOT making sandwiches. If only I made gourmet sandwiches for super rich people, this would not be a problem.

Okay, now I am absolutely miserable.

Plus, the dyelots on my Ruffled Surplice are apallingly and clashingly different. The seaming is wonderful (I like seaming once I get around to actually DOING it--I've been influenced by many people to dread seaming, even though I know I like it! I think it is because I have to actually pay attention while I do it), but the dyelot differences make me cry. I will most definitely be buying some of that Rit dye business and dyeing the whole thing some other color. Purple, maybe. I've recently discovered that I love purple. I'm wearing purple right now! Actually, I loved purple from about age 6 to age 10, but then it lost out to green. Which is why I have a buttload of various green yarn. I do have that Sugar n' Cream that is purple AND green. We shall see what happens.
