I should be studying physics, but I found a great distraction: graphing the total (cumulative) distance I've travelled since the start of freshman year. This includes travel by air, road, rail and water that is from one town/city to another (so it excludes general day to day moving around, going to the grocery store etc. but includes things like Providence to Newport or Nahant).
I was quite impressed. I've done slightly over 120,000 miles, which is almost 5 times around the Earth, and about halfway to the moon. I haven't quite made the entire Canadian coastline, though...

I'm going to keep this dataset and re-graph it when I graduate. How many miles can one travel in 4 years of undergrad education?
We shall see.* Obviously I am using miles because I have lived in the US too long.
