I thought you all might like to see what I was knitting over Christmas break:

It was lovely to see all of you! After I got back to California, I found out my laptop was dying. My wonderful boyfriend decided to help me build a nice desktop computer to replace it. Here's a picture of Jupiter "helping":

I feel like I should add a caption so that he can be a lolcat. If you think of a good one, let me know!
I have been spending a lot of time at dance classes. Jupiter helped me find a good use for old pointe shoes -- cat toys! Of course, when I tried to take a picture, he stopped playing with them. It's a little hard to type this because Jupiter decided to sit in my lap and bite my arm. It is about equal parts adorable and annoying.
I went back to UIUC last week on a recruiting trip. It was nice to see some of my friends again. On the way back, my plane got delayed (in Champaign) because it was too foggy to take off. I would have expected fog in San Francisco, but not so much in Champaign!
Well that is all the exciting news from me. Hope you are all doing well!
