For the past few days (and nights), andrea has been pre-occupied with one of the highlights of the Math Week celebration - the Mathemazing Race. Since the Math Department has no formal coordinator, she has been pressuring herself to give a semblance of guidance to the relatively young department (with her being the most senior in the group).

An unfortunate work hazard. You see, even though I’m not handling any math subject, being married to a math teacher almost automatically makes me a deputized math department member (at least in terms of manpower). This is why I had to help out in making those tedious tangram puzzles and number roulettes. Heck, I was even assigned to man the Fear Factor version station solo. But at least that’s all over now.

The day has ended and the students seemed to enjoy the whole race. Even though I feel so tired that all I can think about right now is a going on a relaxing vacation, I’m still glad to be part of the race. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt if the math department would treat us all to some well-deserved break. Maybe not exactly like those Mediterranean cruises but some time off would be great! Hehehe!

How many times have I thought about owning a new car? I can’t even remember. The truth is, no matter how much I think about it, there’s pretty much nothing I could do right now. As it is, I barely get enough to keep our heads above water. What more for a new car?

What we currently have right now is our red car. I’ve posted quite a few entries about the heartaches and headaches we’ve gotten from it. Heck, I don’t even have to look for those entries to remind myself about how much trouble we’ve gotten from our car. It’s right outside in the garage, for almost a month now. The last time I tried to move it, the brakes gave way. It’s in such a bad condition that none of the car insurance companies would want to get their hands dirty with it.

I can’t help but long for a new one - a more reliable and better looking one.  I mean, I can always dream, right?
