Well, two exams done and graded, one last one to give (and grade) today.

So far no panicked phone calls begging for EXTRA CREDIT!!!! (I love the bit in SpongeBob SquarePants about extra credit; Mrs. Puff offers him extra credit on something:
Spongebob: Mrs. Puff, I don’t feel like I really did anything.
Puff: That’s how extra credit is supposed to feel.
Spongebob: Really?

ha ha ha ha. So no, I'm not a fan of offering extra credit. I do sometimes do it for "above and beyond" type assignments or questions on exams - where it's a REALLY good question but I know 5% or less of the class have a good chance of getting it - then I'll put it on there)

Anyway.

I'm partway through the penultimate repeat on the Hiawatha shawl. No exams tomorrow and as far as I know, no commitments, so I might stay home and work on that instead - I'm really hepped* to start the edging now that I'm so close to be done with the "been there, done that" part.

(*should that be "hipped"? I'm not up on my beatnik slang)

I've also started the perforated rib part of the socks...and you know? It looks a lot like a pattern that was in Interweave recently. I'll have to look at it and see if it is - if so, no real point in writing it up. (Especially not because I could be accused of plagiarising, even when it really was a case of "nothing new under the sun" - I flipped through the stitch-pattern book until I found one that was easy enough to translate into knitting-in-the-round and that was easy enough to memorize).

Huge storms last night, mostly to the south of me. My little weather radio would go off every hour or so, waking me up. (I don't have it in my bedroom because it would scare me out of my skin every time it went off in the night; it's in the bathroom. I still hear it but don't get up to check what the warning is unless it seems like it's bad weather where I'm at. The station I have to tune in - the nearest station - is for North Texas, and so I get a lot of extraneous warnings.)
