My Trip to Georgia by the Numbers

Inspired partially by my high school newspaper, which had a stats page, and partially by a recent post by another friend, here's my trip to Athens in numbers.

Number of days in Athens:4

Number of biscuits consumed: 3 (with vegetarian gravy!)

Number of Meals with Fried Food: 4

Cups of Coffee Consumed: 7 (bad call-not enough sleep)

Number of Croissants eaten: 2

Amount of Time spent thinking about or discussing Lady Gaga: 45 mins

Number of Saxophone Events attended: 5 (out of about 100...)

Average Daily Temperature: 58

Days of unfettered sunshine: 4

Number of Hours spent travelling (total): 18

Number of Pages Read: 168 in "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", 2 in "the Power of Now"

Number of Conversations Spent Talking in an Altered Cartoon Voice: 15

Avg Daily Viola Practice: 1 hr 45

Hours of Guilt About Lack of Practice: 1 hr (cumulatively)

Number of Vegetarian Friendly Restaurants Discovered: 4

Number of Socks Brought: 2 (not enough!)

Number of Crucial Things Forgotten while Packing: 4 (fingernail clippers, tweezers, socks, toothpaste)

Number of Tires Blown: 1

Hours spent having fun: 30

Overall, the trip was a success. I really enjoyed the sun, the south, and the awesome food! I also got rather motivated to attend the Int'l Viola Congress, which seems to be in the cards, now that I've been rejected from Sarasota for 4 times now. Wooh! (The two events conflicted- the congress is in mid June in Cincinnati.) Anyway, now, I'm just trying to shred some viola for Monday's New World humor-fest, and enjoying the direct sunlight in my apartment, which is rather rare for this state. I seem to have brought back the warmth, which I'll take.
