I've been working on squares for a baby blanket.  

They are 25 st across in rowan baby soft on size 9 straight needles.  I need 36 squares and I have almost 14 done.  I'm averaging about a square in 45 minutes, because I never really focus completely on my knitting, and prefer to do it while watching tv when it is something this simple.  But tonight, I'm taking a study break, and I find that knitting allows me to sort through all of the statistical theory that I am trying to cram into my brain and figure this stuff out.  I put in a good hour and a half making note cards of theories that I will be needing to know for this exam on the 6th.

I've also about had it with these wireless hotspots in my neighborhood, i last for about 15 minutes per connection and i'm on the third available network…argh.  anyway, battery is dying. more tomorrow.

So I've started to try to get comfortable with purling continental style.  It is awkward.  Hopefully working on my mom's scarf will help since the second row of the pattern is purl 2 together, but purl into the second stitch before taking off needles.  I'll post a picture tonight.

Life has just been so stressful lately.  I've been struggling to finish a take home exam.  Yes, take home exam in graduate school due tomorrow by 12 noon.  Hopefully i can get somewhere with it today.  I'm on the last question which is a simulated clinical trial.  Fun.
