  1. The numbers can seem overwhelming--especially when I think about the 2 posts x 135 students waiting for my comments. But we are counting down days in March. Enjoy your visit!

  2. I love how you have mixed numbers that are not so great...paper cuts...with fun numbers like how many friends to see and relatives you will visit. I love the number of books for break! I have one more week until break too and I am counting down the days!

  4. Fun to see, especially anticipating all those relatives and friends to see. I'm not sure yet that I want to do the numbers game-too frightful! Hope your last week goes well before your break!

  7. It's a good thing that Spring Break is just 1 week away. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel and enjoy all those numbers of friends, family, and books. :) Good luck with that paper grading.
