This semester in numbers

*2: Number of times I’ve left the state (far too few) and the number of times I got really sick (strep throat and a bad stomach bug)

*3: Number of presentations I’ve given (far too many)

*5: Number of classes I missed, not including Ethics

*17: Number of books I’ve read (all but 2 for fun)

*25.3: Approximate number of hours I spent surfing the internet when I should’ve been paying attention in Ethics (thanks to fellow bloggers, Dear Prudence, Craigslist, and Facebook, among others)

*47: Number of pages I’ve written on the topic of big coal, usually focusing specifically on mountaintop removal mining

*539: Number of pictures I’ve taken (frankly, I’m surprised that number’s not higher)

*4620: Approximate number of miles I’ve put on my car, not counting trips made for social events

*5,000,000: Approximate number of envelopes I’ve addressed, stuffed, and sealed for my assistantship

*Unknown/unquantifiable: Amount of time spent talking about books, movies, TV, celebrity gossip, how unfortunately idiotic guys can be sometimes, our future plans, and other people with really good friends; volume of wine consumed; number of cupcakes baked; amount of uncooked cupcake batter consumed
