I am ready for this thing to be done. I went home to visit my parents today and my dad gave me this t shirt he bought through his union. I am wearing it, despite the fact that I am not a teamster.
I'm well aware that I have a tendency to be one of those jerks who doesn't watch a football game all season and then gets revved up for the Super Bowl. Despite the fact that I've only recently become deeply interested, I actually care about what could happen, so the stress and excitement is taking up a huge chunk in my mind. In my internet wanderings, I found an article that Caroline Kennedy wrote for the New York Times in January of this year called "A President Like My Father". I knew that people had been using the JFK comparisons, but had no idea it came straight from the Kennedys themselves. Quite a poignant comparison.
I also found this adorable story about Obama, Japan. (Obama translates to "small beach" in Japanese. They are just so damn cute.)
That's the last I will say about that until I know what's going to happen to me for the next four years. I can't think about it anymore.

I recently joined ravelry.com after a really sweet woman working at A Good Yarn in Brookline told me to take a peek. Something about seeing everyone's work and excitement for knitting and crocheting has been making me feel confident and proud of my chosen path as a fibers student. I started work on my squares for the Purl for a Purpose Knit-A-Thon this afternoon, and they moved pretty quickly. I am so excited to start exploring the humanitarian power of handcrafts. Hopefully the whole thing will be fun and succesful. Either way, my hands ache and I don't see any rest for them in sight. They better get used to it.
