So what do I do with my evenings now?

I've discovered a weird problem in my life: I don't know what to do at night anymore when I'm home. Now that I'm down to tutoring only two nights a week, I'm not sure what to do those nights I have off. I've been doing the four nights a week thing for so long that, on a night like tonight when everything gets done early and I have a few spare hours, I'm kind of at loose ends. To be sure, I'll be working on the job hunt very soon here — I've already started lining some of those ducks up, in fact — but for now I kind of feel lost. Mind you, I don't mind, as it actually gives me a chance to catch my breath...

Maybe I'll post an entry to my blog...

Just as things were starting to look good...

I was informed yesterday that my new, steady job is to end at the end of the semester, which is on January 26. It seems they are having a major money flow problem, and need to reduce staff to make ends meet. And as the most recent hire without a special education endorsement, I'm the guy.

Damn.

Another large prime number found

Just in case you haven't already seen it in the news or something, here's a rare bit of mathematics news:

So what do you do with a 9.1 million-digits-long number, anyway?
