Random and assorted musings.

I'm having one of those "gee, I miss home" things. I think in part because I know I will be there soon, and also because I miss not being able to be in Texas with the rest of my step-mom's side of the family.

I want to be able to be there for things.

Anyway.

1. I finally made reservations for my flight home - I had been trying to find a flight that was less than $2000 USD, and found one that was pretty close to that today. I'll be getting to Chicago on July 21, and leaving on August 15.

2. I now need to decide what schools to ask for. I know one that would be a good choice in Mokpo (were I know a ton of people) one in Suncheon (again, where I already have friends) or staying where I am, which, while I like my apartment and the people that I work with, (and I have one of the easiest teaching schedules in the whole entire world) is pretty far away from everyone and everything.

3. This weekend I was knitting on the sleeve on the sweater that will not end, and that is also probably too big for even blocking to help, but sleeves and collar! That's it! Then done! And I was sitting here, lamenting my slow progress, when I tried to buck myself up by saying to myself, "Hey, if you were knitting a hat, you would have almost knit the whole thing tonight!!"

AND then thought, "hey, wait a minute..."

Because my arms are a lot smaller than my head.

DAMNIT.

80 stitches, Lamb's Pride, #6 needle. Yep. Hat.

Fine. I admit it. I'm done. It will be ripped out.

This will be the second entire sweater I've had to rip. Granted, one actually fit when I completed the sweater but now is ridiculously too big (and I was able to save the top part as a shrug), but still.
