A few interesting things

15:50
Apparently my cousins on a whole think I’m hot. I think this is really funny. I don’t really know most of them, but their Dads have been reporting back that they have interesting things to say about my pictures. X) Life is strange and comical. Luckily I don’t live in Alabama.

Second, I live near a livestock and agriculture center. What this means is that at certain times of the year, the population of files swells ridiculously. This huge fly has been bouncing around knocking into my windows and mirrors for like two days now. My cats just sit there uselessly and watch it. >< I need a fly vaporizer.

Anyway, those are my comments for today.

University of the Pacific

On Saturday I went to a preview day for UoP. I’m rather hoping to attend. It was an awesome day, and a really cool school. Not to mention they have a Harry Potter fan club, played quidditch on the lawn and it looks like Hogwarts.


They had lots of different tours and current students around to talk to. They held workshops/information sessions through the morning and early afternoon. Everyone there seemed very friendly and… strong? I don’t know, they were all obviously leader-types, which was nice.

This is the view out from the front of the big library:



All the buildings are brick/stone. It’s kind of expensive, as a private school, but they have a lot of financial help for people that need it. Like me, hahahaaah.

I guess that’s all I really have to record about that. I want to get in, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up. I’m pretty good at it. I don’t like being let down.

Whew. Anyway.

Robin Hobb Quote

“Tomorrow,” he told me gravely. “We shall be ourselves again. The Fool and the Bastard. Or the White Prophet and the Catalyst, if you will. We will have to take up those lives, as little as we care for them, and fulfil all fate has decreed for us. But for here, for now, just between us, and for no other reason save I am me and you are you, I tell you this. I am glad, glad that you are alive. To see you take breath puts the breath back in my lungs. If there must be another my fate is tied around, I am glad it is you.”

The Sun

06:18
Today my lab group and I had to view the sun. Every since I heard we were going to do this I was excited! Pictures of the sun are always so surreal and beautiful. It didn’t disappoint. There were a good number of large solar storms and sunspots that we could see. Our professor is hilarious, he loves it so much. Although he was teaching at the time he kept walking out of his physics class to look through our telescope, haha.

First we used a Dobsonian with a solar filter, it looked mostly like this:



Then our teacher got out a special solar telescope, and it looked more like this:



There was a little less detail on the surface with what we were looking through, but it was awesome all the same. It’s such an incredible piece of the system.

I haven’t had much interesting to say lately. So here’s how morning looks at my house.

It’s like a cat sitcom poster.  Oy. I’m gonna be an old cat lady. ><
