Things I've Learned Winter Term:

1. Being a math professor does not necessarily make one a logical person.
2. Sometimes statistics can actually improve your self-image. (i.e. "60% of the American population never leaves their couches!")
3. Furman's Fitness Center is named after Herman Lay, founder of Lay's, the potato chip manufacturers. (I guess technically I knew this before, but I'd never really considered it until the above-mentioned math professor brought it to the class's attention.)
4. Taking not-English classes frees up a LOT of time.
5. I can cook!!! Good food! Like country-fried steak!
6. Fashion is irrelevant when riding a bike in below-freezing weather.
7. Never ride a stationary bike then subsequently attempt to ride a real bike.
8. It's quite difficult to find good chicken tikka masala in upstate South Carolina.
9. I remain mostly hopelessly disorganized, despite my best efforts.
10. Time flies, whether you're having fun or not.

1 week of class left. Then exams. Then Spring Break. In February.
