Here are a few of the numbers that have come into play in my life recently.
76: The temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, at which my roommate left the thermostat over the entire winter break. She's from a warmer climate. On the positive side, our winter break is shorter than most and we don't pay for our own heat. On the negative side, somebody else pays for it as does the planet. Ah, well, it'll be 60 outside later this week; perhaps that will allow us a few days with the thermostat down closer to reasonable.
5:42: The time at which I woke up yesterday morning because it was so hot in the apartment (see above). Though I didn't get back to sleep, I did remember that our thermostat is adjustable. I also got to watch the sun rise out my window nearly two hours later.
49: My current resting heart rate -- first time under 50! -- as taken this morning.
5 1/2: The number of hours of class for which I'm tentatively slated tomorrow, the first day of winter quarter classes.
9: The total number of classes I intend to shop this week. I'll likely end up taking four of the nine plus one one-credit class which meets only a few weeks, not including this one.
40 + 27: The number of bookmarked websites and pages of notes (mostly retyped articles for ease of being in one place) which I already have for my final paper due in 10 1/2 weeks for my one required class this quarter. In my defense, I find the topic super-engaging.
12: Minimum page count, double-spaced, of the aforementioned final paper.
13 1/2: Hours until the official start of my first winter quarter class. Let the fun begin!
Whoot! Indeed may the fun begin. Later this week I'll send you an e-mail so we can schedule some walk&talk time. Miss you! How was your sister and your holiday?
