Kimchi, not for me

So...

At the least, 11 days of work left. 15 days at the most.

The plan at this point is to go to Israel and visit with my friends there for a week or two before heading back to the States. At the moment, it looks like this plan could be in jeopardy, but I'm hopeful that it will somehow work out.

I have SO much to do. I, until today really, was under this very misguided delusion that I had heaps and loads of time...and while in some ways I do, in a lot more ways I don't.

The good news is that the rest of my working days will be half-days. That, in theory, should allow me to accomplish a lot. But today was the first half-day, and I spent my free time knitting, reading, or sleeping. Thanks to Beth, I have been helped in the whole learning-to-knit process by a website, and found an AWESOME pattern there for this scarf. I also got this cool variegated purple-ish yarn today, and have started this scarf two or three times. I keep on getting stuck on this one stitch...I won't bore you with the details, but I was near about ready to lob it all out the window this afternoon. And then my roommate consoled me...but the opening line to the consoling nearly made me explode with laughter. It was, "You know, when I was learning how to ride a unicycle..." What?! Hilarious. I love her. She's full of surprises.
