So the Making Waves socks are too small. I was making the smallest size, but they didn’t seem all that small, really. Before starting the heel, I put the stitches on a piece of yarn to try it on. It fits my leg nicely, yes, but the cabling isn’t exactly stretchy enough to get over my heel without a struggle. So- I started the second one, since the needles were free, and I’ve decided to make fingerless gloves. Experimentation time!



There was a school board meeting tonight, and I went for the first half hour or so to hear the petitions. They’re voting on block scheduling soon, and one of my friends spoke in favor of block. I hope they actually listened, as she had some good points, but you know how those political types can be. Anyway, I love block scheduling. When you’re taking honors classes and tons of stuff outside of school, you need that time in between class days. The problem with block was that athletics were double-blocked, so kids have those classes every day, which is ridiculous as you need more time for academics. So the problem isn’t with the type of scheduling, it’s with the schools. Football is all that matters in Texas. *sigh* The coaches teach fewer classes and get paid much more than the teachers, and our football team isn’t even any good. Okay, enough of that.
My biology test was easy, of course. I always think I’m going to badly and then I don’t. I don’t like science as much this year as I used to- all we do is take notes and then a test. No labs, no application, only the theory, which doesn’t explain the concept all that well. No time for labs even with block scheduling- what would we do with a traditional 50 min period?
