Lately, numbers have been my life. Though I am neither an accountant nor a mathematician I have been focused on numbers an inordinate amount. However, I am on a break from numbers for the next three weeks at least. Want to know where my obsession with numbers started?
Grad School Winter Quarter (the breakdown)
10 weeks
2 classes
45 discussion papers
65 (roughly) researched responses to discussion papers
13 longer research or action papers
1 survey
4- least number of assignments/papers due in a week
9- greatest number of assignments/papers due in a week
2- number of pages of the shortest paper
50- number of pages of the longest paper
3- number of weeks I have off
3- number of quarters I have left before graduation
It was a welcomed feeling to sleep in this morning without worry or care. When I did wake up my first thought was not "Oh no, how many papers do I have to do today?" Oh break, how I love thee. Sleep, free time, the ability to be unplugged from my computer, and the time to read are all wonderful. Go slow break, go slow.
Peace.
