I am knitting a Gryffindor scarf.

This shouldn't be happening for a few reasons. First and foremost, I haven't read all of the books, although the idea is that I'm going to finish them before the scarf is done.

Second, and what should probably be foremost, I don't have all that much time. I am a senior. As such, I need to apply to many colleges over the next couple of months, and then pick the right one in the spring. Meanwhile, I have 75 hours of community service I need to take care of, two virtual school classes, and three APs. This really isn't all that bad, but I am a bit of a procrastinator, which I'm hoping will change soon.

And any spare time I do have, I should really be giving to my two sketchbooks, one for AP art and the other just as a side project. I think what I really want to do is just fill up sketchbooks with ink and paint and collage for a living. They are coming along quite nicely and I'm having a field day with them.

But I'm not complaining, really, because so far my senior year is actually turning out pretty okay. I have a parking permit, a creative writing class, and a senior crown to paint, so it's all good.

But anyway, I am knitting a Gryffindor scarf and it will be glorious. Unless I'm actually a Hufflepuff and OH GOD I'M SUCH A GEEK.
