129 days to go
Part III: Late nite ruminations

Now you know you're in trouble. In order to avoid doing C++ homework, I'm looking up information on the internet about prime numbers. Did you know, for example, the year I was born, 1973, is a prime number? Secondly, did you know that the year I turn 30, 2003, is also a prime number? Take this into consideration: my age(29) and my roommate's age(31) are both prime numbers.

I just sent this number to my extraordinarily smart father:

2357111317192329313741434753596167717379838997

Yes, it's a prime number. What's weird about it? Dad, you better not have cheated on this- this number is composed of the digits of the first 128 prime numbers. Copy it into word and have at it.

Ok. I have fully demonstrated that even procrastinating geeks like myself still have to do geeky things to make up for our procrastination. For further information on prime numbers(ok, is anyone going to bother with this?) go to http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/

I think I might just go to bed. After all, it's only going to be Thursday, and there's too much work left in the week.

So, now that we're closing in on 128 days to go, it's time I logged off.
