The semester is coming to an end. My students take their final on Tuesday (actually I'm writing this a day late so they are taking their final in just a few moments!). Then there will be grading of course. Lots of grading.
But then...
The slow down.
I've been thinking of all of the things I will do with this slower season of life. I'm most looking forward to reading more again and knitting!
I love books. I love to own them. I gather them and put them in an obscure order of priority for reading them. And then I switch the order because I get so excited about one. But there is always a stack of books waiting for me.
This is my stack... and I have a virtual stack in my Amazon wish list.
I'm going to start with 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' because that one has been in the pile since last Christmas. And because the movie comes out next week! So here I go - setting some crazy goal of finishing the book by Christmas.
Go big or go home, right?
I'm playing with my camera a little more and am looking forward to doing a little more of that during 'the slow down'. Above we have no flash (also no tripod so maybe kind of blurry) and below we have flash.
On the left you'll see, that my spot is back. Aaaghh! I can't get rid of it! I don't understand. I got rid of it. Why is it back? What is it? So now I need to go to the camera store and have them look at my macro lens AND my camera. I'm falling apart here.
Another part of the slow down... knitting. I can't wait! My first project is going to be fingerless gloves. I've been wanting to make a pair for awhile. I even have the yarn and pattern.
Ahhh, the slow down. This is going to be good.
