PROM 2010!

Last night was my senior prom. Except in my school proms for sophmores and up with 9th grade allowed if they are asked by an upperclassman. It was a blast. I went with my good friend, Zac. It's amazing how fast the night went by! Everyone looked really nice, its amazing how people can "clean up". The only weird thing was that some of the music was strange for a prom like swing low sweet chariot (which we booed so loud, the dj turned off)

Update!

It's been a while. On the 16th of April, I traveled with my school to DC. We did a lot of unexpcted walking and this trigered and RSD flare. My legs have been hurting so badly. I went to the doctors twice last week but both times she said its shin splints. It's really frustrating because I'm almost positive it was an RSD Flare. During this flare, I presnted a powerpoint on RSD to my bio II class (basically anatomy class). I think it went really well and the feedback from my teacher and classmates was good. I'm finally feeling some relief today.

I'm really excited for my school's prom, its on Friday! I picked up my dress last Friday from alterations.

I've been trying different baby gifts for one of my teacher's new baby girl, Rosalie. Each time I try a new pattern something goes wrong. However, now since time is limited until the next time I see her (the 14th), I'm making a hat called "shower's in an hour baby hat". So far (knock on wood) its going well. On the way to and from DC i casted on a sock. I work on it mostly at school becuase it is a basic stockinette stitch sock. I'm finished one of my best friend's skew socks and started on the second. I love that pattern and the way it turns out!

Off to study for a quiz tommorow. Hopefully I will do well!

wow its been a while!

Haven't blogged in almost a month!!!!! Been on Spring break for about a week and a half, loved it, even though I didn't do anything too exciting. However, I did get a prom dress!!!!!! I got it at davids bridal- it was half the price of my dream dress.
I tried to make a baby sweater for a teacher at school, but ended up frogging it. Instead I'm making baby socks, but the needle snapped so they were on hold for a while. I'm still knitting my dad's socks and I started socks for my best friend, Rachel's graduation. I'm using the pattern skew from Knitty Winter 2009.  I love the pattern, and hope they come out. Tommorow I have an interview at College of Saint Elizabeth for additional scholarships. I hope it goes well!

Another Snow Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today my school called at 5:30 AM saying that there was no school! Hurray! This was good as I was tired from last nights South Jersey Knitters meeting. I had a great time last night, and I finished the ruffle hat which was my project for Ravelry's Ravelympics. 

Today I finished my scarf for February for Scarves from the heart!



off to work on more knitting projects such as my dad's socks and a toy snake!

A Snow Day Festival!

I haven't been in school since last Tuesday due to a major snow storm. This storm mixed with the storm from last Saturday creating at least 2 feet of snow. During this break I baked cookies, did some homework, read most of Bel Canto by Ann Patchett, and watched Medium. Last night I casted on for the ravelympics. I decided to work on a ruffled baby hat for Haddonfield Stitch N' Bitch's spring charity project.

Today I found a terrific deal! At one of the antique centers my mom works at, they had 3 vintage playbills that said $3 on the outside but $1 on inside and they gave me the $1, plus this weekend anything $1 or more was 20% off so I got them for $.80 each! I also got a new phone today, boy that was a pain, as the people at the AT&T store were quite ignorant. But i'm satisfied.

A Wonderful Trip To NY!!!!

This past weekend, I traveled to NYC with my parents. Saturday night I saw Rock of Ages which was so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was absolutly hysterical! I met one of my idols Kerry Butler.

 She was so nice. Also, I met Constatine M from American Idol. I was so suprised that he took time with people cause most ex American Idol's and other celeberties just walk away from the stage door. He also invited me to his solo show.

Sunday I hung out with a friend from Summer camp. We saw When In Rome which was average, and then went out for hot chocolate. It was great to see her.

Monday I just walked around the city with my dad. I did make it too a broadway gift shop called "Theatre Circle" where I picked up a used copy of Broadway Musicals Show by Show fifth edition.

Overall it was a great trip.
