One down...one more to go.

I sat one of my two exams today...I think I did ok, but you never can tell, can you? One thing I have found with post graduate study is...it's bloody hard work and takes up a lot of valuable time I could be doing the things I love more, like stitching and singing! Oh well only another 4 semesters to go although I might stretch it out a little and have a semester off somewhere in the middle...

Liam is with his dad at the moment (in Sydney) so I had a quick trip to Canberra to meet his dad who drove down from Sydney. Consequently it made me very tired for my exam today. I guess sitting up until midnight last night doing last minute study didn't help!

Tomorrow night I am taking mum and dad to see my friend Andy sing with the swing band - absolutely my favourite place to be on a Tuesday night. I have tomorrow off to study for my economics exam on Wednesday afternoon, so the disruption of some great music will be welcome.

Tonight I am resting and I will try and finish my June goal on An Open Heart and perhaps stitch a little on the M Designs piece :)

*eek* time...need more of it!

I haven't stitched hardly at all this week, although I must admit I was STRESSED when I got home from work the other day so I did a little to calm down....AOH got some of area 3 stitched so I'm on target for that June goal :)

I have exams in just over a week, Economics (26th), and Management Science (28th) so I probably wont post much, but will try and read al ittle in my forced study breaks. I've been finding study very hard - it's been a long time since I studied anything and its been a real challenge. Hopefully I will do ok! I think next semester I will just do one unit rather than two.

It's also school holidays, my parents arrive tomorrow for a three week visit and I have to go to Canberra next weekend (the weekend BEFORE my exams) to take LHM to see his dad!

There's always something! Why does it all seem to come at once!

Move along...nothing to see here...

It has been a long weekend here in Melbourne and although I had nights out on Friday and Sunday, I've spent all the days studying...so no stitching.

However, I am all studied out right now, so today I am going to relax with some chocolate, chick flicks and some stitching. I'm not sure what I will stitch on - perhaps the M Designs piece that I have started...it's four sections, two Celtic Heart designs in each corner and will be two initials. I had first thought this would be for a friend, but she has gone and changed her colour scheme, so the beautiful Needle Necessities variegated red just wont do for her now...might keep this one myself...I will try and post a picture later.

I might also get the never-ending "Dad's Sampler" out of the WIP roll and do one or two letters to appease my guilt over not finishing it yet (started in 2000 while I was in hospital and my parents were here looking after me and Liam). These over one letters will be the death of me! I really must finish this....it's beautiful but the over one stitching is really hard on my eyes. I will try and post a progress picture of this one too.

An Open Heart will definitely get a look in as it is out and ready to be tackled!

All in all should be a good day...now to choose movies!

June Goals

During June (and remembering that I have exams on the 28/29th June, I would like to accomplish the following:

• Finish something.....anything.....ornament, fob, bookmark.....anything at all!
• Stitch down to at least dividing band 6 on An Open Heart.

And for two goals not stitching related:

• Complete the two economics assignments I am behind in.
• Complete the 1 Management Science assignment that is late!

Faring well in my exams is a goal I really don't need to list here ....is it?
