Second Sock Syndrome

I have fallen victim to the second sock syndrome. The second Java sock is coming along very slowly, which may have more to do with final exams than the syndrome, but I also finished a revised short sock:
The one on the left is the first attempt, and the one on the right is the revised version.

The revised version is done on size 6 DPNs and with one fewer pattern repeat on the foot. I also forgot about decided not to do the first two stockinette rows. You can see it fits much much much better. You can also see the size difference when they're not worn:
Above: First attempt
Below: Second attempt

Even though it takes only a few hours to do, I'm finding it hard to start the second one. I'm going to go ahead and blame that on the syndrome and not my own laziness.

But once I finish both second socks for the Java socks and Short socks, I will commence on the creation of the Inlay socks for Mom. Then the Circle socks. Then the Fuzzy hat. Then maybe I'll get some sleep.
