Mmm, beads...
I'm currently working on a stats assignment and am taking a quick break to update. Last night I cast on for Mrs Beeton, and my yarn is way too fine for it. I get 32 stitches to 4 inches rather than the required 21. This is, however, exactly half as much again as the original gauge, so instead of casting on 108 stitches, I'm casting on 162, and taking it from there. I may have to add the occasional extra row in there to make it proportionately longer too.
Any thoughts on resizing/regauging them?
And... study. Hm. This is a quick summary of it all:
... word count on current assignment: 988
... word count on thesis: same as last time, a little over 6,000
... written assignments left to do: 3
... presentations left to do: 1
... number of exams left to do: 1
... stupid weekly questions to write: 6
... days left til it's all over: 44
I was thinking of adding "tantrums to be thrown", "panic attacks to be had" and "lecturers' assignment boxes to sneak dog-turds into" but that stuff is always seat-of-your pants anyway, isn't it?
Special thanks to both my supervisor and my dear friend Rachel for alleviating my panicked moments this week with well-placed hints and advice. Forty four days and counting.
