On edge...

So... I'm a little edgy this week.
I guess its the exams. I bombed one on Monday and I have another tonight. My stomach actually dropped as I was typing that. I really hate tests. Such pressure. Such a do-or-die feeling.

So, yes, I've been a little satanic. I have zero patience. I have not actually spoken to any human beings outside of my job or the BF this week. I suppose that I become a little bit of a hermit crab when I'm working through something. This is ok with me because hermit crabs, of course, are awesome. All crabs are awesome.



Ok, back on planet earth... I put an Alchemy bid on Etsy to do a purse. It's my first bid ever, which was a little harrowing. It was nice to break the ice though. I hope to do more bids in the future.

I have other things to talk about but now is not the time.

I'll be back later most likely.

World's Most Boring Update...

If there were an operation to have my sinuses completely removed, I would have it.
Actually... they can take my whole nose.
*sniff*

I completed the first baby could pillow, well, technically it's the second. I took pics and left my camera at home... so, I'll put them up asap. Also, I finally found the matching red Patons yarn that I have been looking for. Turns out it was in AC Moore the whole time. Now I don't have to go to Michael's ever again. I hate that place. This means I can finally get finish up my newest pocketbook - Justine. This will be great for Valentine's Day because it's pinks and reds and very sweet.

My hands are still a mess. I went to the doctor last week. She wanted to wait a few weeks to see if the pain subsided. If not, blood-work, I suppose. The pain is still here... though the stretches really seem to help.

Nothing very exciting going on. I'm working on a paper for school.
Meh.

As I've mentioned in the past... I'm sort of re-thinking the Art Therapy stuff.
I'm so obsessed with crafting and making and things of this nature that I'm starting to consider either applying to FIT or something of the like.

Risk.

Stuff to NOT think about...

I'm getting a little nervous because I have a constant dull ache in my right wrist... my crocheting wrist... I'm not going to think about it. The crappy thing is that I'm about 3/4 finished with my handbag and I had to stop last night because it hurt. I'll take a couple days off, I guess.
So frustrating.

Anyhoo... I got my little "crochet geek" decal and it's way cute. I think the shirt is coming today!

My band is doing some more recording tonight so we can hopefully get moving on releasing the EP by the spring time. We applied for SXSW... which is in March, so in the event that we get in, it would be nice to have some music to hand out. Again... I don't even know what to think about that either. It's in the hands of fate, now. No use dwelling on it.

Also, I just got confirmation that my Final Audit is being processed at school. More stuff out of my hands.

So, with empty hands, I bid you adieu.

I really need to step it up with my posts.
I guess I'm kind of pre-occupied with all of this puppy business.
I'm pleased to report, however that we seem to be reaching a comfortable point. Maybe that's just because I've been home all weekend. I don't know. I think that the cat, Mousey calms Poochie down a bit. I left them both in the kitchen last night while I went to a friend's in Brooklyn and I came back to a fairly peaceful household.

Other than that, I've started up on my next felted hand-bag. I'm doing a deep purple blend... not sure what the applique is going to be yet. I bought some new loose wool in several bright colors, so I have a nice pallette to choose from. Thank you, Mom for the gift certificate to AC Moore... my favorite place on earth.

So, as for school... I'm really re-thinking the whole Art Therapy thing. One of my teachers last semester kept driving home to us that we should not enter into any Masters program that we are not PASSIONATE about. While I'm passionate about the art side, I'm not certain that I'm passionate about the therapy side any more.

I'm thinking that until I decide, I should just finish up my BA in Psych (since I have like 4 classes left) and then worry about Masters. I was trying to piggy-back some art courses into my curriculum at MSU, but there is no studio arts minor... so unless I'm 100% sure about graduate school, I could be wasting lots of time and money.

But then what? Do I go back and get a BFA? Do I need to?
I just want to create things. That brings me the most joy in life. I suppose I just have to figure out how to pay the rent doing so.

Ugh.

Lots to think about and I would love any advice you have to offer.

PS - Both shows went really well last week. Southpaw is awesome and Maxwell's is always fun. Next stop, The Goldhawk on January 24th.
