7000: The number of dollars I spent buying a car.
96: Model year of said car.
691: Dollars paid to insure car for one year (less than I expected).
12: Hours worked on Wednesday.
0: Nights I've been asleep before 4 am.
34: Days I had to wait to have my management test graded.
78: Mark on my management test.
80: Mark needed to pass said management test.
0: People who passed this test from my group.
67: Second highest score on this test.
2: Times written this test so far.
7: Days until I move.
0: Hours spent packing so far.
1: Empty boxes secured thus far.
6: VHS tapes sitting on top of my DVD shelf waiting to be put away.

5: Hours until I have to get up.
5.87: Price of cheese burger combo that I'm going to have for lunch on "Big Burger Friday."
