I wish I could find my MP3 player because I would like to record a little of my astronomy teacher’s ramblings for you to amuse yourself with. Maybe I’ll just call Audioblog and leave my phone on speaker. It’s supposed to record for an hour.
Yesterday, we constructed maps of the sky. There was a lot of taping and cutting involved. It’s a kind of neat thing. I think that there are probably better star charts out there than what we’ll make in class, but since we’re basically adding things to it by hand, we’ll get to know a lot better where things are in the sky. This place has night sky maps you can download with event data for certain dates.
This MTW class thing is going to drive me crazy quickly. I feel like I’ve fallen into a deep rut where I wake up, go to work, go to school, go to sleep. I’ll be happier when tomorrow rolls around and I can spend some time with Berta and Abby. Actually, I’ll be even happier when work is over on Friday, since I have off until June 7th.
