At last.

Here it is - my last paper. (and the tape recorded interviews it is based on) My final project (counts for 2 different classes, one at the graduate level). The culmination of a semester's worth of work. The exams are taken, the literature essays are written, and finally, the project is packed up and ready to be turned in. I am so, so done. I can say quite assuredly that this was the hardest, most draining semester so far. This picture was taken Monday morning, right before I left to go turn the paper in. It is now Tuesday night and I'm still tired. Boo hoo. But.... aside from catching up all the hours I've missed at work, and washing (I kid you not) at least 2 week's worth of dishes, (there was a film on the water in the sink, and I had to fight the gagging long enough to tie up the trash and shove it at JF. He still has 3 exams to write.) I've been doing this! (In case you're looking carefully, Libby, yes - all the ends are now woven in. Sigh!) On the left, we have one six-months-in-the-making sweater for JF. On the left, legwarmers (ok, only one so far) for his sister. And finally, my new best friend. The Slipper Pillow!! Picked this up at Ikea mostly due to its oddity, but am now in love. It's a pillow.. that you can put your feet in!!! And if you're wondering, yes, both JF and I have been caught doing the bunny-hop when we were too lazy (or afraid of the cold) to take our feet out to walk to the kitchen.
