Accomplishing things! Also - more astronomy nuggets of ridiculous goodness
Mom's home from her cruise. I missed her but mostly? I missed having someone to call when I had what could've been the beginings of an MRSA outbreak. This is a BFD for me and it was not fun to go through that sort of panic alone. Yeah, I saw my therapist an extra time over that crap. Also, I was dog sitting an adorable TERROR. Oh, and somewhere in all that I got a virus so bad that it took FOUR HOURS with tech support to resolve it - and required installing like 3 different kinds of virus removers/scanners. Not fun, I dont suggest it.
That said, everything is good now. I got a massive amount done tonight. I paid my credit card bill \o/ I booked my flight to ComicCon (it cost me $30 round trip. Thank you very much Delta. Pleasure doing business with you, I'll be sure to give up my seat more in future *bows*) \o/ I bought my ticket to the Honda Civic Tour (because damnit, I cannot see MCR too many times in one year. Also? BLINK 182!!!) \o/ RWrote some letters in regards to getting jobs! \o/
Now I'm trying to make myself chill and go to sleep and I am staring at my BBB and wondering why the hell I thought participating was a good idea. Of course then I look at my gorgeous art and mixes and am like "oh yeah" but still, to quote Dana Marschz "OH MY GOD! WRITING IS SO HARD!"
And now, for those of you playing along at home, quotes from class #2 of Astronomy.
Class #2
Joshua: I'm not good with they calculations but um how the moon and sun look the same size when they're different distances?
Teacher: How did they know the distance between things in space?
Tunde: *holds up a pinkie* "The finger thing?"
Teacher: Aristotle had some fine points. He was no dummy he just... was silly.
Teacher: If I asked Copernicus to prove his theory he'd say "Look over here!" and then run away. Because that’s what science is, you have to prove things. Otherwise we could make up anything - THERES A UNICORN AT THE CENTER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM! WITH A CANDY CENTER!
Joshua: So you can basically see some of these planets bare-eyed outside?
Teacher: The astrologers were lying to you this whole time.
Joshua: So if I was a Gemini, what would I be now?
Teacher: I'm sure you haven't thought about the history of time zones - although, Rachael may have.
Me: *looks up from talking to Kaci on chat, confused* What?
On the world ending in 2012
Joshua: They say humans are gonna evolve in 2012. It's not going to end. We're gonna transcend consciousness.
Joshua: So are stars farther than the sun?
Joshua: So the stars are bigger than the sun?
Teacher: Some are. Some are smaller.
Student: Is the theory of evolution based on the big bang theory?
Joshua: "Soto- pseudo science."
_On how to test if astrology is valid_
Student: "We're going to take a baby and tell it its birthday is on a different day than it actually is."
Teacher: "SWEET!"
