Inexperienced Experiences

[bare_bear]

• Oh man, totally slept in this morning.  But while I did, I had a very strange dream that read like a novel.  About time travel and steam punk inventions, and 3 interesting characters.  Despite not ever being able to get a story onto a page or screen, I really want to write this.  Not that inexperience has ever stopped me before.  I'm currently quilting a blanket (that will hopefully look like the sewn version of this: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=324062.0), and I've never quilted anything in my life.

• Speaking of the quilt, it's going really well.  I'm tackling the 10 bajillion little squares by sewing them into 3x3 square pieces, and will sew these together later.  I've got about 2/5 of the squares done.  I would much rather work on this than the marking I have to do...

• Aaaand the marking.  My poor kids had their lab and lecture mid-term this past week.  I had no idea how they did, and unfortunately I'm marking the section that they did really poorly in.  We three TA's are splitting up the rock, mineral, and photo identification sections for all 3 lab sections - I'm doing all the photo identification, and most either didn't read the questions properly or left it half blank.  Don't wanna mark today!  *pouts*
