almost all done

Two exams to give (and grade, but I caved to time pressure and did them as all multiple choice, Scan-tron exams) and the grades to figure up, and I'm done.

I'm pretty much all packed.

I'm only taking small projects this go-round, I just figured I wouldn't feel like/wouldn't have time to get much done on something like Thermal or Honeycomb. So I've got a bunch of socks to knit, and a hat, and fingerless mitts. And I have a kit for a toy sheep I bought the last time I was at Hobby Lobby. (It's a sheep, but ironically enough the yarn to make it is not wool, it's a cotton/acrylic blend.) And I have my books. (And my poster. And my giant heavy field boots. And my spf 70 no-PABA zinc-oxide-based sunscreen)

This time tomorrow I should be eating breakfast, on the train, in St. Louis.

And: I love this. "Be silly. Be honest. Be kind." Good rules to live by.

(I also like this - someone posted it to a thread on CPAAG when someone was asking for "happy pictures" to cheer her up)

More good rules to live by.
