Total days in the spring with in-person social interaction: 43 (47.3%, a -3.8 percentage point change from summer)


Not many new takes on the rankings this go-round, except maybe that Danielle shot up from #12 with 3 points in the summer to #4 with 3 points in the fall. Gabriel holds steady at #3 after the standard Shobhit at #1 and Laney at #2; this as ever is thanks to his new apartment with Lea being in Columbia City and an easy Light Rail ride for me to go hang out with him. Even with that, he has 6 points this time as compared to 7 last quarter. That still easily puts him at #3.

Karen once again has 4 points herself, due to several lunch cancelations when by default she should have about six points. Shobhit's 16 points are way down from his 29 points in the summer, now a quite unusual score for him. It still easily puts him at #1 as always, though. And he'll shoot up in score for winter when I post that in March, after 15 days straight of points for our trip to Australia alone.

Beyond that, we're once again at the who did what with whom where and when!
