Subject: Welcome to Truman College

Congratulations, you have been accepted to Truman College!

All new students are required to take our placement exam. However, you indicated on your application that you have previous college experience. If you have successfully completed a college level Math and a college level English course, you can have the placement exam waived. In order for us to make this determination, you need to bring an official or un-official transcript to the Admissions and Advising Center (room 1112) where a College Advisor will determine if they can issue you a Test Waiver. College Advisors are available on a walk-in basis.

Office hours for the Admissions and Advising Center are:

Monday through Wednesday 8:30 am – 7:00 pm
Thursday 8:30 am to 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Friday 8:30 am – 4:00 pm
Saturday 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

Student success is our top priority! A number of services from tutoring to academic advising are available for students to access year-round. Cultural events and activities sponsored by our student led clubs and organizations enhance our already diverse campus community. Above all, you will find that Truman offers classes at convenient times, is close to public transportation, and has the lowest tuition rates in the area.

Again, we would like to welcome you to Truman College. Should you have any questions regarding the admissions process, please feel free to give us a call at 773.907.4000. We look forward to meeting you!

i am certain other people will write fine eulogies. for me, i’ll just say, i liked his records a lot. my friend rory gave me a copy of Get On the Good Foot for christmas 1995, after i listened the hell out of his copy. i’m listening to it right now. it’s still awesome. i expect it to stay that way.

subway knitting strikes again

14 December 2006 at 06:16 Comments off

i have one sock of the socks i started two weeks ago (almost) done. it seems like the end of socks takes me forever — mostly because i get mostly done with the instep and then i knit two rows and try it on to see if i’m done yet, knit two more rows, try it on again, … so this sort of defeats the subway knitting purpose. (maybe the solution there is to have multiple socks going at once?) and then there’s the toes — i want to do them in a single sitting so i don’t have to worry about forgetting where i was on the decreases, etc., but that means i have to find a solid chunk of time at home to do that. so, i started this toe yesterday evening but i was so tired i only got a few rows into it before i sleepwalked to bed. fortunately (?!), LIFFE blew up at 2AM so i got paged, and then i had time to kill before i had to go get ready for work, so i got it finished up to the point where i went “screw it, i haven’t had nearly enough coffee to deal with kitchener stitch yet,” put it on stitch holders, and cast on for the second sock. THAT i can do on early-morning autopilot, at least.

of course, it was so early in the morning that my models are all too tired to work.

Kiyoshi and sock
“Huh? What? What’re you — Hey, I’m sleeping here!”

Kiyoshi sniffing the sock
“What the …?”

Kiyoshi with yarn on his face
“Your fixation with taking pictures of things on your cats is disturb– oooh, string!”

and i noticed, amusingly, that while carrying it around to work and back every day for two weeks, my ball of yarn had somehow gotten squeezed into a non-standard ball shape:

Yarn dreidl!

of course now all that spare time has flown and it’s time to get ready for work, so you know what i’m going to be singing in the shower? “Dreidl, dreidl, dreidl, I made you out of yarn…”
