around here

I love starting the year with a new planner. I've had the moleskine daily pocket planner for the past four years and I'm super happy with it. I love having an entire page per day, it's small enough to always stay in my purse and the quality is awesome. I got the Le Petit Prince limited edition this year.

I'm getting back into work mode. Of course Lina is trying actively to prevent me from getting any work done by either laying on my laptop or my notepad. Sigh... At least she doesn't like my new yogi tea chai classic. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare but it's really worth it.

My friend B. gave the the cutest hello kitty kleenex box ever. For now it's in the bathroom as a sort of decoration because the tissues are too cute to use. My roomie Felix didn't complain about them (yet...?) so they're staying there for now.

Other than that, I've gone back to eating (somewhat) healthier after weeks of regular baking and eating waaay too much. I ordered some yarn on Christmas Eve and it finally got here. It's GORGEOUS! Two skeins of malabrigo chunky and one skein worsted merino. Now I just have to decide on what I wanna knit next...

My homespun yarn is far from perfect but I'm getting to the point where the yarn starts to become usable. I'll dye it and probably ply it with a thin industrial yarn to give it more strength.

I won't be able to post much in the following weeks because I have my finals in February so I better start studying. I need a certain amount of adrenaline before I have enough motivation to start studying productively. I guess four exams, one 15-page paper and a full schedule that doesn't leave much time/energy to study after class is enough pressure to make me panic even though my first exam is in four weeks...
