Hobbies are good. They calm us down, force us to take for us. But we must make time for them, and therein lies the problem.

I have a great hobby: I am a knitter. I enjoy the craft of fashioning continuous thread into werable garments. It’s an involving hobby, and a very rewarding one, because when you’re done you have something useful to show for it. However it is also time consuming, and time is something I just don’t have these days.

Right now i’m working on a scarf, it is my first real project. Been working on it for months. I used to knit a row or two a day (it’s quite wide), but with school there just hasn’t been the time. And I must say, that sucks.

I’m spent. I’m dead tired all day, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep at night. I’m half falling asleep during class, and this afternoon I find myself so tired I can barely make sense of my Biblical Hebrew vocabulary or my readings for The Christian God or Gospel Interpretation – Mark. I have too much on my plate, but none of it is going to go away. I need a nap.
