By the numbers

Visiting my Grandpa in Wilmette!

I am currently enrolled my first math class since high school (shout out to my gfrand Ariel R.), and have come to realize that numbers, on occasion, can be of use. I have also come to realize that there is a very good reason I am a history major, and not something like applied math. So in honor of the fact that I have recently been brushing up on my math skills (apparently 6×7 does not equal 52….), I have decided to give you all a little insight into my life at JHU through numbers!

-       4: the number of hours it takes me to drive from my house to Homewood

-       17: the number of hours I spent watching Downton Abbey over break

-       1: the number of maxi dresses I now own after my spring clothes shopping expedition (thanks for the inspiration little, aka JHU_Ruthie)

-       154: the number of times I’ve played the song “Call me maybe” in the last two weeks

-       16: the number of times Admissions_Daniel tried and failed to make a gif today at work

-       53: the number of days until my summer internship in London starts

I can't wait to be in London with my cousin Ellie this summer!

-       9: the number of cat-related decorations I have in my dorm room

-       38: the number of blogs I have written since coming to Hopkins

-       28: the number of schools I visited in the college search process
