Goals!

Alright, so here it is.  Tuesday, November 4, 2008 is a very important day!  Yes, there’s the little thing those in the biz like to call the Election.  But more importantly, it will be Varsha’s and my Blogiversary!  No, that doesn’t utilize the proper Latin, but I’m not a classicist, am I?

Because I took a statistics midterm today, I’m thinking in equations.  So, here are a couple for consideration.

Goal: 100 posts by 1 year
Current number of posts: 87 (88 after this one…an auspicious number!)
Number of posts needed to achieve goal: 100 – 88 = 12

Deadline: Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Current date: Thursday, October 30, 2008
Days before deadline: 1 day in Oct. + 4 days (I’m giving myself all of Tuesday) in Nov. = 5 days

Posts per day: 12 ÷ 5 = 2 2/5 (fractions are so much better than decimals)

Can we do it?  Yes!  Especially because I have several more picture posts all lined up and ready to go!  Hurray 😀  Incidentally, I’m making friends in the blogging world and want to give some shout-outs to Jen, Korie, Jenna, and Diane!

Several things may stand in my way, although only one of them will be before Tuesday.  On Monday, I have a lab practical.  On Thursday, I have a genetics exam.  On Friday, I have a microbiology exam.  On Saturday, I’m taking the GRE in Biology.  Surely I ought to study for some of these.  Of course, there is also Halloween tomorrow (I’m going to be a GFP bunny!), the football game this weekend (in the rain!), and responding to the professors who’ve been talking to me about grad school.

Thank goodness for baked goods.
