O to the M to the F’n G
Sometimes you really have a week. Sometimes you have two, back to back. Sometimes you find yourself dealing with four major project deadlines straddling either side of a conference for which you aren’t really prepared for. And as you try to stay calm and power through, even in the face of a million other things [...]

Nothing but Crazy Eyes
We live about 2 miles from campus, and I’ve been walking to class a lot. It would be a lie to say that I walk all the time, but I end up hoofing it a good deal of the time. This week, we’ve had about five consecutive days of rain so after walking to class [...]

Here I go, giving this whole blog thing another whirl . . .
Aidan and I have been in Syracuse for about a month now. And although we’re still feeling some of the residual stress that inevitably comes with significant life changes, we’re both enjoying the city, our new apartment, the cats, each other, etc. Over [...]

Moving, Step One
Aidan and I just got back yesterday from a whirlwind trip to Syracuse where we did some seriously exhausting apartment hunting in preparation for our big move in August. We only spent two full days in Syracuse–we even came home a day early–but I have never been so tired and so ready to go home. [...]

Today, I taught my last class at Miami. And I suppose that since I’m going to be on fellowship next year, it will be my last class for a pretty long time. I feel relieved that the end of the semester is nearing, relieved that the end of my MA is nearing, but also a [...]

I am seriously slumping it right now. By that I mean, I feel mired in this “blech” place where I feel unmotivated, unexcited, dispassionate, suspended. I’ve had some brief reenergizing moments–accepting an offer to a PhD program in Syracuse, going to a conference in San Francisco, going to a feminist theory workshop at Duke. But [...]

For the past two weeks, I’ve been meaning to get pictures of the various things that I’ve been working on up here. However, it seems that everyday I’ve had time to stop and take pictures of my knitting, the weather has been shitty. Today is no exception. I have three projects to take pictures of [...]

Warm Hands, Cold Heart
This has not been a particularly good week. I’m in the middle of one of those periods where a million things are happening at once and the best you can do is just try to keep your head above water. Things will be a lot better once I get through Wednesday. Until then, I needed [...]

I got a new catalog from KnitPicks this weekend, and I was really excited to see this fancy little thing (also apparently known as a Norwegian knitting thimble). This summer, I finally managed to master (I’m using that term rather loosely here) two-fisted stranded knitting when I made my Endpaper Mitts, and I enjoyed it [...]

Working through the Weekend
I just finished commenting on my tenth student draft of the day. My brain is officially mush. The depressing part is that I still have eighteen drafts to go. At least I’m more than half way done, right?
When I did reach the official half-way mark, I rewarded myself with a little break during which I [...]
