i went for astronomical observation last night and it was damn cool. despite the cold and the shitty weather because berkeley is always shrouded in fog and cloud, here are some things i managed to see:
mars. fuzzy, red and small dot.
saturn, everyone's favourite. to quote xinyu, it looked like a breakfast cereal omg omg. so cute!
jupiter, with its 4 moons.
i was so excited. still am. i've always wanted to see a planet or a star up close and i managed to see it through a 14-inch telescope last night. this is why i am used to be interested in astronomy. cliche as this might sound, it makes us realise how small we really are compared to the universe.
(eh so sad. i suddenly wish i were an astronomy with a major in extra-terrestrial life HAHA)
also, after breakfast on monday, i placed a bottle of half-closed orange juice in my bag and headed for class. to my horror, i realised it spilled and infected every single thing, especially my creative zen mp3 player.
actually, i'm quite happy la HAHAHA. i quote my friend, alex: this is a sign. it's time to buy a new mp3 player. after all, i have been eyeing one of those ipods for a very long time. ahhhh, and i cannot contain my lust any longer. i shall head downtown to get one of these on friday, upload songs in it and listen to it during the three-hour ride to yosemite.
