udpate


hello readers
Today I'm going to the Idina Menzel concert with my Aunt and Uncle as my graduation gift. In my opinion it is one of the coolest gifts ever! I love Idina and cannot wait to hear her in person!

I'm writing this on my new laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so awesome! It's a dell inspiron, and the front features a design by OPI polish. Its so great finally having a laptop without any blocks.

I finished my princess socks finally, and i'm working on anklets for me, and a phillies phanatic for my mom.

I'm a high school graduate!

I graduated the 16th. I received three awards, the presidential award, the citizenship award, and the upper school award. It was a great ceremony and it feels great to be a grad! I will miss my friends and teachers, but I'm ready to make new ones.

Two Days Left of My High School Career

It is unbelievable that I only have two days of high school left! It seems like just yesterday it was the first day of 9th grade. The only homework I had this weekend was to study for my last final which is Tuesday. Overall high school has been good, it had its ups and downs, but wasn't terrible.

On a knitting note, I finshed Rachel's skew socks today, and am now starting the second sock from the princess sock I made in December. I'm also working on a hat for my best friend, Erin. She picked the pattern and the color.

The first sock of Rachel's socks!
June 16th I graduate!

Wow, I'm almost a high school graduate!

It so intersting to think that in less than a month I will be a high school graduate, it seems like just yesterday that it was my first day of 9th grade! Only a few things left to do, present senior project on tuesday, the 25th, and then take finals and my last final is on the 8th. I will be attending Long Island University- CW Post Campus. Soon I have to register for classes. I'm so excited! I know it will be hard work, but I'm ready.

In other news, I've been busy knitting. I'm almost finished Rachel's skew socks. I think after that I will work on anklets for me. I'm also still working on my DC socks.

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!
