If this had been a real emergency...
At this point the main stairs that run through the library are filling with exiting students but no worries, I know a shortcut. I cut across to the side fire exit, push on the doors and HOLY SHIT. Another louder, more urgent alarm starts ringing and flashing. I turn around and am forced to take several detours and side stairs to exit because the main stairs are closed.
Mostly this taught me that
(1) not all emergencies are created equal,
(2) like in the lab buildings, if you don't exit within the first few minutes during an alarm, stuff begins to lock down and most importantly
(3) I'm an idiot. If this had been a real emergency I'd be trapped/burnt OR arrested on suspicion of terrorism for trying to gain access to the roof (yep, that's why I set off a second alarm).

I want to dance in my pants!
A handknit pillow (with stripes on the back), yarn, coffee (yum), pens!, gum, cards and the cutest post-its. Many thanks to my swap partner, she did a really good job.
On the school front, I'm flooded with work, weary of doing more writing, and I miss the gym. The good news is it'll be over soon and then 2 more semesters! (It's less painful than thinking in terms of one more year.)

Futbol Sunday
Yup, I was knitting this in the library. I frogged it and started over after taking this, with a few changes. I switched up to US 3 because I was afraid they'd be too tight around the calf opening. I added the slipped stitch in thinking it would a pretty pattern but nope, I can't really tell. And when the time comes I think I'll do a slipped stitch heel, it just looks much cleaner.
I also took advantage of my spring break and made considerable progress on my Central Park Hoodie. Nearly finished the back!
Through some sort of resurrection miracle I also picked up my black cabled cardigan. With a back and two fronts already completed it was easy to finish the sleeve I had on the needles. I only have one sleeve and piddly little ties to finish!
