Boring old black. I've been working exclusively on these for the past few days. It always amazes me how right after the toe there is a blackhole in which you knit and knit and there's very little length added, but then suddenly you look down and the foot is finished. (Thursday night I was staying in a Bed and Breakfast before a Friday morning interview... I was smart in that I brought my laptop, knitting, and DVDs because there were no TVs there. After 5 episodes of Sex in the City the foot was finished and it was time for sleep).

I've got my 2 interviews finished and my dissertation sent out to my committee. This next week will be busy with creating my defense presentation. On the one hand it shouldn't be too hard because I know the stuff so well; on the other hand, I need to squish 3 studies worth of methodology and results (as well as an intro and discussion) into 30 minutes (on Friday at the interview I gave a 35 minute presentation on just 1 of the studies and even that was leaving out huge chunks of results).
