A New Project

Ever since I finished up that baby blanket I've been itching to start a new project. This is kinda strange for me. I am not a crafty person, I'm not very creative, and I almost never do things that are original and unique. Luckily, the internet is full of ideas from people who are all of those things! I've found lots of fun quilting ideas that I want to try someday, but since nobody else in the family is expecting a baby any time soon, and we don't really have a need for a quilt, I figure I should try my hand at something else. For now. I really did have fun making that quilt. Besides, sewing is expensive, so I really shouldn't do projects I can't justify spending the money on. I've decided to be brave and try making some slipcovers for our couches! I found a pretty good tutorial online. :-) Our couches are kinda gross. Josh and Katy got them for like $10 from who-knows-where, and then we got them from Josh and Katy. Besides that, they have this green and brown plaid type fabric on them. Hopefully in the next week or so Sydney and I can make a run to Joann to find some fabric and a run to DI to find some old sheets or something to use as a template. I'm a little design retarded so I need Sydney's help to find some fabric that will look nice in our apartment. ;-)

Besides that, we're just working on our finals. Yesterday we took our Humanities final. I feel like it went pretty well, but we won't get our scores back for a while, plus a lot of the grading is subjective. Our professor is pretty generous with points though. I need like a 94% on the final to get an A in the class though, and I'm not sure if I managed that or not. It depends on how much she liked my essays I guess. Either way, I'm glad it's over and an A- is still a good grade. All I have left for general education requirements is a religion class (old or new testament) and a writing class!

We'll take our anatomy final tomorrow, so tonight we'll study a lot for that. We are both done with work at 12 today and since we don't have classes we get to go home for lunch and to spend all day studying. It will be good. I think we'll be ready enough for it. I'm not entirely sure where my grade's at for this class because the syllabus is confusing and the lab and lecture portions are combined for the final grade, but I think I'd need a really solid A on the final to get an A in the class, so I'll probably have an A-. Which is alright, but I'd be happy to get the A. I did my best in the class though, so I'll take what comes. I just hope I can keep my GPA up through fall so I can get a good scholarship for my senior year through the university. I guess I'll get what I deserve and need in the end. :-) Speaking of scholarships, it's time to start looking for some women in science type scholarships now that I'm a junior. Actually, it was probably time like in April, but Dad just reminded me about all of those a month or so ago and I had totally forgotten about them. Most of them aren't available until your junior year when they really know that you actually are going into science. I'll look into those after my finals are over though. I'm excited for our little break.
