And that your grandson graduated with a strong degree. <br /><br />It is a worrisome time for young people. Many of my students who graduated this year graduated without jobs and were terrified about the future. The best students were okay (One of my favorite students got into a PhD program at a top school where she hopes to wait out the economy, another is now managing a woman's shelter) but everyone else was super anxious. I advised several of the idealistic young men who are sturdy and want to change the world to join the Peace Corps... The University where I teach has for years had a 100% placement rate for our students who leave as credentialed teachers... this year that placement rate was ruined as the state is not hiring teachers anymore....Angelhttp://knittingangel.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-12449440212606395232011-06-18T10:46:04.068+01:002011-06-18T10:46:04.068+01:00Well done to your handsome grandson Joe.

And I was amused to note that you call a 2.2 a Desmond as so do we :) My younger daughter nervously awaits the results of her post grad diploma while writing her MA dissertation ... such a worrisome time of year for the young.<br /><br />I look forward immensely to seeing your Japanese shirt take shape, and please do seek permission to publish the pattern. What yarn will you use? Have I missed that?Anniehttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
