Reading List

The ever growing list of books I want to read this summer:

Harry Potter-
Sorcerer's Stone
Chamber of Secrets
Prisoner of Azkaban
Goblet of Fire
Order of the Phoenix
Half Blood Prince
✓ Deathly Hallows
Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest
Heat Wave
Naked Heat

Confessions of An Ugly Step Sister
Too Far From Home
Rocket Men
Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay

I think that's it...maybe...I'm sure more will be added, Half Price Books is having a sale that goes through Monday...which can be dangerous. =p It's quite a list, I hope I can pull it off before school starts again!

Blankie Craftee

So I finished Delma's baby blanket Thursday and plan on giving it to her tomorrow. She only works 2 days next week (the 2 days that I happen to have off) and her due date is next Saturday the 28th, I think tomorrow when we work together for the last time would be a good day to give it to her ^_^
So here are a couple pictures of what it looks like, it's baby green. I think it's my new go to pattern, very easy and mindless =p

Freedom

The semester is officially over! So happy summer break is here! I can finally start reading the very long list of books that I've been wanting to read/finish reading, but couldn't because school feels the need to make me only have time for boring school books!
Here's what I have so far, if you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me:

The Hunger Game series
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest
Heat Wave and Naked Heat (yes the ones from the Castle series, what can I say I'm obsessed)
Reread the Harry Potter series (have about 200 pages left on Deathly Hallows)
Rocket Men
Too Far From Home
Water For Elephants

Every time I stop by half price books, which lately has been on a weekly basis, I find more books that I want to read. Darn them and their good prices!

I have a couple crochet projects that I want to work on too. I found a doily book that I want to try too, not to make doilies that are going to ruin my eyesight, but there's one pattern I really like that I think would be cool for the back of a shirt. They seem to be all the rage right now, and I figure instead of paying $15-$30 for one I can buy a cheap cotton tee at work and then cut out the back and sew in what I've crocheted...we'll see how that goes. Sounds simple, but what I've found with crochet lately even if it sound simple and straight forward, it's not. I have a baby blanket to finish for a girl at work that is about to have her baby any day now, and I'm being completely serious, she's due the 28th.

I'll be going to ACL with the lovely Miss Heather this year! Bought my first ticket today, I'm excited! I LOVE Austin and now I can say that I'll be participating in a major Austin tradition. Ha Ha

I've noticed lately that I've been getting more and more obsessed with Harry Potter the closer the last movie gets. I'm so excited, and yet sad...with the last movie getting here it means that there will be no more Harry Potter movies. =( But for this one I want to go all out, midnight 3d showing and everything! Anyone be willing to go with me? =D

Almost There!

I'm ready for the end of the semester to be here now, not Thursday. I took the first part of my DiffEq final today...yeah my professor thought he would be a "benevolent dictator" and give us a 2 part final. I'm still Switzerland about this idea. It makes the final twice as long, but it does give you a chance to go over what you didn't do so well on in the first one to make sure that just in case the same kind of problems are on the 2nd part. I think I did ok, I know I messed up some simple algebra on one thing, which is really frustrating me now. I don't know why I do it to myself, but after every test I have, if I was unsure on how to do something or what the answer is I'll look it up...this time I happened to be somewhat wrong, I forgot to put in the exponential part of my general solution to a spiral sink system of DiffEq's. I do feel smart talking about this, I'm sure someone that hasn't taken DiffEq that reads this is probably saying "What the hell is this crazy math major girl talking about?"

I finished my extra credit portfolio project for my Psych class last night, and I must say that my hole punching skills are quiet exceptional...I somehow can't find my 3 hole punch, and was smart enough to buy one last night when I went to pick up a 4 clasp folder and popcorn(my studying for exams must have snack). I bought the cheapest one at Target, which was probably a mistake, but I get home, finish my project and start punching holes, unlike my lost hole punch, this one doesn't have a bar/piece of plastic that sticks out to make sure that the holes are punched just right, and they don't stick out of the folder when you put them in it. So my project looks kind of retarded in it's folder right now, and me being a person that loves the trees and Earth I wasn't going to reprint the project, so the holes in the paper start getting higher...the groups that I punched them in look like they are kind of cascading in the folder. So Bravo to me and my mad hole punching skills.

This Saturday I'm going to be in San Antonio doing the Culinary wine run, it should be fun. My mom has made it into a family event, she somehow got my brother to say he would run it, but hey I'm in, anything to get free wine samples at 8am...it's 5 'o clock somewhere right ^_~ Plus it's only a 5k, I won't die, I'll walk along sipping my wine...and probably Tommy's because he's not a wine/alcohol person, strange I know...what's wrong with that boy?! I'll be sure to take my camera...see if I can juggle wine and taking pictures he he he, if they're blurry you'll know why he he he. I wish I had Sunday off...but I guess that would be something WAY too nice to do, giving someone a full weekend off. The only reason that I have this Saturday off (I haven't had a Saturday off in....forever...well a couple weeks when I asked for a Saturday off to do the Fiesta Fandango run...hmm pattern here?) I guess I'll be driving home Saturday night with my little backseat driver, as much as Harley seems to like the idea of car rides, she is so damn impatient about getting where we're going, she wines if we get stuck in traffic or if it's just taking too long, then when she notices that we are close to our destination she really starts complaining, and this is the kind of pacing and big sighing kind of complaining. Silly, spoiled puppy!

I apparently have next Tuesday and Thursday off...what am I going to do?! I can "sleep in," I can stay in my pj's all day, and completely veg, not that I could actually be completely non-productive, but the thought is nice. Maybe I'll go see a movie, there are a few movies out that I want to see...and my friends have totally bailed on me when I want to see them =p I guess we'll see he he he
