November Already?!

I can't believe its already the 1st of November...Tomorrow is Election Day! I am really excited about the election this year, I'm not sure how it will turn out, but I, for one am rooting for a bit of change!
I got up early this morning with Jered and registered for my classes in the spring. I added an extra class, hopefully i will be able to keep it, that brings my hours up to 15 which I think is a better idea since my program is 64+ hours. I start my practicum next semester but I've heard its only 8 hours a week so I'm not too worried about the time crunch yet. I am going to ask some people I have class with whether or not they think my schedule is do-able. I almost wish I had taken an extra class this semester, that or if i had been able to take theories and techniques in the summer. It seems like I'll be in school forever!
I am going to wear Salt Peanuts today. I was going to save it for tomorrow, but its supposed to be nearly 80 degrees tomorrow, so today is the day!
Hopefully I'll have a little time to knit on my sock today too. I plan on getting some homework done in my break between work and class, but if I finish that then I shall be knitting away!
11 more days till i can join the knit blog ring! Then maybe people will actually read my blog! :)

Halloween Peanuts

Its done! My first sweater is finished and it fits, AND it looks great! Jered helped me post pictures of it, under the WIPs section. Check out the finished pictures of Salt Peanuts. I am so proud!!! I handed out candy tonight after seaming Salt Peanuts all afternoon. I still need to steam the seams a bit and I think they are a little on the bulky side, but I think thats just the nature of the yarn.
While I was handing out candy tonight I worked some more on the cable sock and am now working my way down the foot. I hope to have the first sock done by next week. I will take more pictures of the sock when I get the chance. I am having a hard time organizing the coming week, with the election coming up on Tuesday and a bunch of papers due in the next three weeks, not to mention a group project and all of this due before Thanksgiving Break... I am not looking forward to it!
I have to go to the County Commissioner's office tomorrow to pay the county taxes on my car, hopefully won't be too expensive, and hopefully I will have done it in time, Virginia is crazy about that. Tomorrow I have an hour after I get off work to work on my paper and other homework things, I'm hoping to get quite a bit done. I feel stretched so thin lately! I can't wait till Thanksgiving Break, I really need a break and I definitely need Christmas Break! The sooner December comes the better, I can't wait to get more knitting time!
I'm going to wear Salt Peanuts tomorrow, I don't care if its hot. Ha!
