In T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," there is a line that says, "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." While I cannot claim to have measured out my life with coffee spoons (thankfully), I think that our PNG team has reached a point before the trip where it is no longer sufficient to simply say that there are ___ more days. No, we need to develop a different way of measuring.
Here are some measurements from the Board house.
three sleeps in my own bed
three walks to the bus stop
one trash day
zero recycling days
eleven meals
one homework check
seven fish feedings
countless hugs and kisses
