Yay! Amazon books finally arrived yesterday after a lot of waiting and peevishness. Once again, I'm getting the urge to create something, and the delusion that I will have lots of free time in college. Mommy is coming home on Saturday, so I'm hoping to:
a) go through all of the previous powerpoint presentations, fine tune them, and construct a cohesive "review" presentation for Sunday
b) write my own final as an alternative to mom's. (Hers being a copy and paste of the homework assignments, which is kinda hard when it isn't open book)
I've already gone through and graded all of the homework assignments from the past 6 weeks, so go me!

All in all, I think these few weeks spent with my dad have been pretty good. I feel more comfortable with him now.

I also sorta-finished my scarf yesterday. As in, it's long enough now, but I don't know how to close it. Mom showed me once, but I've forgotten, so I'll have to wait for her return.

Whoa, someone just told me that the director of the project can see everything that's happening on this computer... o.O!! ::shrug:: I've already done enough email and LJ to satisfy anyone's curiosity. See? knowledge is bad!

knitting!

I know how to bind off your scarf. There're a couple of different ways you can do it -- it just depends on your preference.

1. You can knit two stitches onto your right hand needle, then take the first stitch you knit, pull it over the second, and then you'll have one stitch on your needle. Knit another stitch, then pull the first stitch over that one, repeat repeat until you've got one stitch left, cut yarn and pull it through the last stitch. ( http://www.maggiesrags.com/tips_bindoff.htm )

2. Knit two stitches at once -- put your RH needle's point through two stitches instead of one. Then you'll have one stitch on your RH needle. Slip that back onto the left needle, and knit that stitch with the one below it. ( http://www.modeknit.com/bind_off.html )

It's actually really easy.
