over, but incoherent

it's over!!! my typography class is over. i turned in my last assignment, a book fully designed, illustrated, and written by me. i forgot to take a picture of it, darnit! but anyhow its over and i have three weeks to go until i start fall semester. fall should be interesting, because they say that this one class i'm going to be taking, Visual Communications, is some sort of life-altering experience. i welcome life altering experiences, so i'm looking forward to it.

in other news i'm in like, a million swaps between now and the end of my vacation. ok well not a million, but i'm in

1. the DIY swap (where you make a kit of your craft, ie knitting for me, and send it to someone you are paired up with) where my partner, amyshrugged, will be sending me a tutorial on hard-bound or leather bound books,
   
2. the Pet swap, where i'll be knitting for my partner's chihuahua,
   
3. the Name swap, where i have to make an item based on my partner's name,
   
4. the Pick Your Partner swap, the one i'm organizing! my partner, starsix, wants me to make her something knitted... i know exactly what i'm making her... but i'm not telling!
5. the Turtle swap; HHH (Heather of my past knitting/sewing swap) put this one together 'cause we both LOOOVE turtles! i don't know what kind of turtley thing i want to receive or what i want to make, but it should be interesting :)
6. and the Flower swap in which i'm to make something for my partner (706designs) based on her love of yellow flowers, red poppies and lillies (weird thing is, i love those flowers, too, and another weird thing is her name is sandra, too!)

it's a lot but it promises to be fun :) i just gotta stop joining any more swaps or i'll be knitting day and night.

oh and another discovery... the wonderful world of wists, a site that bookmarks pages for you throughout the internet... i have a christmas list here ;) and a swap wishlist (the kind of stuff i want from my swaps) here.
