Astro...

[readingredhead]

I'm sitting here at 7:30 in the morning listening to an Astronomy class podcast (because I didn't go to the class yesterday) while licking peanut butter off a plastic spoon for breakfast.

Yes guys, I'm in college.

(And I'm annoyed that I missed the total lunar eclipse but I REALLY NEEDED TO SLEEP.)

Also, Shannen -- if you're ever bored and want to listen to a very enthusiastic astronomer, go here: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/course_details.php?seriesid=1906978460.  I might not end up taking this course this semester, but the professor sounds really amazing...

Don't feel bad. The eclipse wasn't that great.

The eclipse was beautiful, but hey, they come around at least once a year, so it's not a once in a life time thing.

Thanks for the link, by the way. I might check it out when I have some free time. Being out under the stars at 3 am reminded me of how much I love astronomy.

Yeah, I know lunar eclipses aren't too uncommon so that was also part of my rationale... Apparently the astro professor whose lectures I linked to also has a thing for solar eclipses, and he's traveled around the world just to be present when they happen. He sounds like a cool guy, even if I don't end up taking the class.
