I cast on this morning for a new sweater.  That said, only two short weeks ago I finished another sweater for myself.  It can be seen on the wall of my LYS, where is will sit as a shop model for 15 long months.

That brings me to the question; What is wrong with me?  I have been knitting for ten, count 'em, ten years.  I have finished multiple sweaters for friends and family.  Yet in my drawers, I can count 3 self-knitted items; two scarves and a OSW.  The new job at the LYS should remedy this situation, at least in terms of yarn availability.  That still leaves the little issue of time.  Hmmm, what to do? 

Scenario #1:  I could quit school, ignore the mounting debt, and knit like a fiend for a few short months until the student loan bills start rolling in.

Scenario #2:  I could stay in school, and use all of my "study time" to knit on the sly.  Then, when I graduate with a 1.nothing GPA, I could sulk about my lack of job offers, while drowning my sorrows in yarn. 

Scenario #3:  I could stop posting (at least for the moment) and study my f*cking biochemistry, which I swear is trying to kill me.  I could accept the death of my knitting life for now, while continuing to accumulate yarn like a mad woman, and them when I finally have a real job I can knit in the evenings and weekends. 

Sounds like a plan.

I would go with option 1. School-schmool. It's over rated. Look at me, I went to school, graduated, now I'm a stay-at-home mom who works part time with yarn. I could have skipped the school part and went to the yarn and saved a few years.
You know I'm just giving you crap. Seriously, don't drop out of school and say I told you to do it. That would be bad, bad, bad.
But, in the words for Willy Wonka, "A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men."

at least with bio-chem, you can ALMOST understand it's real world relevance, unlike organic chem. if you survived organic, you'll live through bio-chem.
