I Think I'm Going To Miss It

Level 3.....

I have only one sample left to spin. Boom chakalakalaka boom chakalakalaka boom chakalakalaka boom!

While I'm really excited to be able to say this, it has been a very demanding year and I'm not sure how I'm going to feel.... I think I am going to miss all that work..... (what am I talking about... I still have level 4!!!)

Level 3 has certainly been a challenge.  Level 1 was work and I learned lots, that's for sure, but it wasn't really all that strenuous. Level 2 was a bit more of a challenge but still it wasn't all that difficult. But Level 3?! Oh my, I have never had to do and redo and then do it some more. I've never had to say, this sample sucks!  I do have to say to all the Level 3 students who are not finished their work yet and are reading this blog.... don't do what I did and leave the tpi questions till last.... get them done early and get them over with... it will make the rest of the book a whole lot easier and believe me it will make your spinning technique a whole lot better.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I am not looking forward to tomorrow at which time I will finish my homework... no indeed, I think I am going to feel a serious sense of loss.  I will finish my last sample, I will do the write up, I will do my bibliography, and then I will pack up my books and send them off to my instructor.... after that I will wait with baited breath for the fateful day when I get my marks back.... (Oh my!!! i wish that butterfly in my belly would just lie down for a snooze!)

The last few weeks have been exhausting.... not physically but mentally as I tried to jump the hoops to remember the math and formulas I learned just over a year ago. Yesterday when I sat down to figure out the Bradford count, the TEX count and the NM count (well the NM was simple enough) I thought my head would explode with trying to keep it all straight. But I did it and when I was about half way through I thought..... hmmm, I think I could get into this..... weird!

Well, I'm off to analyse a 3 ply yarn and do some more math so that tomorrow when I get up in the morning I can try to duplicate it.

All's well that ends well!
