Life, Knitting, and School

I love categories. (By the way, did you notice that I'm posting every other day? I just saw that, and I am amused) I can divide my life into categories. There is School: class, homework, papers, tests, etc. There is Music: Learning, listening, playing, performing. There is Entertainment: Books, movies, TV, knitting/crocheting, blogging, etc. There is Social Activity: umm...I do family group, and knitting group, and I'm in a band, so I guess Social Activity combines people and any other category.
I am able to divide my luggage into categories. This is what got me started on this, actually. I was walking into the house with two backpacks, a violin, and my purse. What if someone asked why I was carrying that much stuff for two days? Well...One backpack has my academic and entertainment stuff, the other has my clothes, and my violin is in the music category.

Life is great when it divides up so neatly. On a completely different topic, I've officially cast on for my fingerless mittens. My announcement four days ago? I was starting the swatch for the mittens. Surprisingly, I got gauge my first try (using a size smaller than the pattern suggests), and am now two and half inches into the first one. It's rather exciting, I've never made something that I'm fully intending to use as a garment as soon as it's done.

Off I go. I've got about five things to do and two hours until it's time to sleep.
