I have a TARDIS

Me and my roommate M finally got around to decorating our common door as a TARDIS. We used some wrapping paper to cover the door, blue of course, and printed everything else out.

 We are using the windows as our locators. There was a fair amount of photoshop going onto edit some of the pictures into what we needed, more specifically the lantern on top. Also a good amount of masking tape was used to secure the pieces.

To increase the geeky-ness of the room I made a decimal point and taped it to our room number.

My roommate is officially known as M from now on, that is M as in James Bond's boss.

In knitting news, I have started to attend my college knitting groups, there are two, a community one and a student org one. The christmas present I am making for Mom is going well. It has been dubbed my class knitting as it is an easy pattern to work, and is the only project that I have going right now that that can be said of. Sadly I have no new pictures of knitted items, but I will fix that soonish.

Lately there has been a heron hanging out in the lower lake and surroundings. It is a nice addition to the Canadian Geese and Jorge. Jorge is the domestic goose who hangs out at the college and stalks the Prospect dining hall for food. 







I have been watching the new season of Doctor Who as it is being shown, my favorite character of the season so far is Oswin Oswald.


OK, I'm done with confusing people, still like Oswin, she was cool.

And now to terrify people.

School

I got back to college last Sunday, after much packing, and moved in with my roommate. We actually live in a suite, have separate rooms with one door to the hallway. I am in the same dorm as last year, on the north side and the third floor.

Once I got everything in the room, I started to unpack, that was the easy part. The hard part was the decorating. It is mostly done, just the entry way needs to be decorated. Above my bed I strung some multi-colored christmas lights, only half the string works, and it looks so cool.

Other neat things found on campus include: lots of turtles, two types even, and pretty plants, also a paper mache and duct tape Kermit head.

In semi good news, my orchid is growing two mini orchid of course this is because the main plant is a little dead; but we're all good. My jade plant seems to be very happy on his window sill. My roommate gave me a mostly dead rose plant that I managed to finish off.

The mystery knitting is going along quite well, I have stated on the next phase of it. I crocheted myself a new soap bag after my old one was retired, it is a fairly simple pattern that takes no time to make.

Other than that I have been going to class, drinking large amounts of peppermint tea, doing homework, watching Doctor Who, and practicing getting on my bed without a running jump. I lofted my bed up high enough for my fridge to fit under the bed. That was so that I had enough room in the room as one of my closets is taken up by a wardrobe that I named Narnia.



With that I give you:
