This astronomy class- You know, it’s not really on my mind as much as it might sound, but I’m just not doing anything else. There’s work, and there’s class. I could write about where I go for lunch, I guess, but that would be pretty short, too. Hmm. -is all very doom and gloom.
The teacher is always talking about things that cause cancer, the sun exploding, and various bad ways that you wouldn’t want to end your life. It’s all very startling. I remember a trip to the Franklin Institute with my grandfather. We went to the planetarium there for a show, and they gave us a similar song and dance. I was pretty young and I remember being somewhat upset by the whole idea. It was pretty freaky sitting in such a dark place with someone telling you that the world was going to end with the sun exploding.
