good luck moving back to school. i hope you'll have time to join in - i know how depending university can be
2nd semester however, is again 18 credits, but only 4 classes and probably only 1 job...still have honors/engineering but thats mostly study group type stuff, so it doubles as homework time, thank god.
the entire time we were there i kept whining to DH how i how i miss school and i want to go back and get another degree.
this is the first time in my entire life (well since i was a 5 year old) that i'm not in any classes - it feels so weird - did i mention i'm in my 40s.
this is the main reason why i felt this year was the year to make a Jane quilt, i don't know if i'll ever have this kind of spare time again.
i'm thinking about going to FIT in NYC to study textile arts next year.
when i was debating between follow my true passion (making stuff, get a liberal arts "fake" degree *** and be a starving artisan forever, since hey, the boy is going to be a doctor, it'll be fine) or what im absolutely good at (applied math // engineering--what i opted for) i was looking at FIT, but i opted for a polytechnic uni, so i ended up applying at RPI in Troy, NY for my out of state option (got in, but couldnt afford it, going to state school in WI)
but yes. point of my comment. do it. absolutely.
***i come from a family of laywers, doctors, teachers and engineers--a liberal arts degree would NOT have flown with them. they consider it fluff.

ok, i just couldn't control myself. i've been a very naughty girl. i needed a little pick me up today - so i made an American Jane Block.
its an easy one - i wanted to make sure the indigo print would work next to another print.
do you like it?
