Did You Know?

Did you know that:

-8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word "prosper". When Chinese businessmen stay in a hotel, they would rather choose rooms with numbers such as: 8, 38, 78, 88, 108 and so on.

-'88' is the abbreviated terminology used for the Nazi salute, "Heil Hitler"—"H" being the eighth letter of the alphabet, repeated twice. 

-There are 8 vegetables in V8 juice. 

-8 is number of pages my research paper needs to be, mimimum. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue...but for some reason I'm struggling.

8 pages. 6 done. At least 2 more to do. 2,103 words thus far. 4 hours until I give up for the night. 35 hours until the final draft is due. 1 hour of editing. 1 hour of over editing again. Too many hours of stressing.

Fin.

P.S. Don't you think it would helpful if when you emailed a teacher a question....they responded? Just a thought.
