Summer: Life's What You Make It.

I was kicked out of summer school.
Super rad, I know. Summer really has been rough. I can't seem to get it right. But that right there is quitter talk. I have too many people relying on my success to indulge in quitter talk.

So what am I going to do about it?

1. Look into BYU summer school courses
2. Call my counselor and let her know the awesome news
3. maybe contact Edwards and tell her (? this option actually scares me)

What am I not going to do?

1. Mope
2. Get stuck on it

I am an immovable force of nature and honestly my summer school was really bad. My teacher wasn't there half the time and I'm pretty sure they had me help falsify documents. Also Major DB was exactly that, a major DB. I know that what's happened isn't good, I have three classes to fix and a limited amount of time to do so. I also have to find a mentor and figure out how I'm going to pass next year.

I really am better than this. I'm kinda super disappointed in myself because I F'ed up this badly.
This certainly isn't the end. But a good general knows when to make a tactical retreat.

So folks, this is your general, sounding the alarm.

Day:TGIF(On saturday!!)

Gotta love the fact that I think schedules are for chumps, and rarely follow my own!

This week week we:

• Lost Grooveshark
• Met Pierre (The best future mentor ever)
• Discovered our powers as the best spin doctor ever
• Finished an anime
• Started three more anime
• Wrote words
• Almost finished a knitting project by Friday
• Are changing the tides
• Are starting book club!!!

That's right, it's time for the Yarnshark Book Club!

This month we're reading:
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore

We're also welcoming the advent of Sunday posts about food! I realised that I'm not actually watching enough T.V. or movies that aren't anime. On Sundays I'll be cooking some kind of vegetarian meal and telling you all about how I did it, what trouble I ran into and what I payed for it. I forewarn you that many of the recipes will be coming from my Pintrest board Vegetarian Delight. 

Here's to another week completed and filed away as a pretty enjoyable one.

Have fun and enjoy the weekend!

Day shmglff: For Sooth, For Shame, For Better Metal.

I didn't update. The Internet ate my drafts and I didn't update.
Good news though, since I didn't update last week nothing of consequence is happening I'm sorry. I'm writing a short story-light novel-"basically it's fanfiction at this point". All original work so it's not actual fanfiction but you get the picture. Because of this, I might be a little busy and I've decided to change it up.




This week we'll be getting both our first look at Writing class and Book Club. May 1st is a Friday and the first Friday of every month is book club! (Give me suggestions on what to read, I will happily take them...) On Wednesday, since it is another crazy day, I'll be doing writing class. Or, more aptly put, the one where I show you what I'm working on and how I do the thing. I'm quite excited.





I was not able to complete (or even start) last week's knitting project, because I didn't get the yarn required. I may revisit the Harry Potter book scarves at a later date but as we say, New week- new project.




This week is... (drum roll please)
...Tea Toters! (PATTERN)

(Photo from Mom at Simplynotable.com)

A very cute little project for all the tea drinkers out there (like myself)

I'm going to be using 

• scrap yarn in a pretty pearlescent blue color 
• and my 4.5mm aluminum straight needles (US size 7)
• as well as a button that I found

This week is going to be a mad house, but I know that we can do it. 

Have fun and get knitting!

Day 5: What The Week Brought.

Hello sweet and lovely people who are tuning into this week wrap up.
I didn't post yesterday because I was asleep! It was a beautiful sleep, and I've started to plan ahead for next week if I need to sleep again. So far this week has been so exhausting. For some reason I just can't keep my eyes open. It might have been the two days I spent staying up till five watching Shigatsu.




With that being said let's have our week review shall we?

• We started the blog!
• Oh yes my friends, it happened, the blog has actual well thought out posts on it and I only missed one day. A rousing success!
• I got most of the way done with this weeks knitting! 
• I only have to decrease and bind off, which I need Idalia to teach me how to do. I technically have until Sunday to finish so remain faithful.
• I got to episode seventeen in Shigatsu!
• No, Brian, I have yet to finish. It's coming, the tears are on their way I promise.
• I've only slept in the car once this week.
• 100 (E/A+) on the Macbeth film.
• The presentation was a rousing success, which I am super proud of because it was my baby. That's what two weeks of work gets you kids.
• 30-ish days of school left.
• Was only absent for a block and a half.
• Got Van's Warped Tour ticket!! (Pomona date. If you're there and not, like, 80. Come say hi!)

Accomplishments!!!

Really, though. This blog is becoming something that means a lot to me and we had quite the turnout for our first week! I'm super proud of what we accomplished because it was actual things. 

There is so much more in store here on Unraveled. I'm trying to plan some fun adventures and I hope you'll be a part of this productive journey with me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the company!

Be adventurous and Have fun!

Day One: Babies.

Everyone I know is having kids.
This might be because I like to hang with an older crowd, but there are so many tiny people around. In honour of that, and the fact that one of my family members recently gave birth, our first knitting project is going to be a baby hat.

You can find the pattern I'm going to use here: (PATTERN) 

As you can tell it's a Yoda baby hat.

I might not make the ears, I don't know if they would be appreciated as much as just the hat.

For this project I'm using:

• Size 6.0 mm double pointed needles (U.S. size 10) 
• Weight 4 Red Heart Super Saver Economy yarn in the color "Blue".

Finished product!!!

Have fun and happy knitting!
