Sometimes the numbers say it all.

42: Number of minutes before my first class I woke up this morning. (That number gets smaller every day.)

1: Number of copies of Medea in Samford's library that is in English and is not written on heavily in blue ink on every single page.

10: Number of times today I have wished I was still in London.
