I purposefully postponed this week's post one day in anticipation of relating to you the spectacular views of last night's sky during the peak of April's much anticipated Lyrid Meteor shower.
However, it's now a day later, and I have no such romantic tale to tell you.
At school, a foggy sky blocked the heavenlies save for the pale filmy light of the moon above the clouds. So we drove up the hill to try to find clear sky. But the fog moved with us, and we resorted to counting headlights instead of shooting stars. The final score was 84.5 cars moving up the grade and 29.5 headed down. (The half was from a car that turned into a house on the middle of the hill. Don't ask me why I like half cars and half puppies and halves in general so much.)
Despite the slight disappointment, we had fun laughing and nibbling on chocolate.
In other news, life as I've known it for the last three years is rapidly winding. The promise that the homework has never not gotten done before is proving true for the last time as assignments are turned in and my life has begun to slow down to a lovely little pace of editing and eating, working and sleeping.
The project which has dominated my existence for the last 3.5 months is essentially finished--Praise the Lord! My senior project class took its final quiz this morning and learned that our presentations will be held in, drum-roll please...the computer lab? Oh well, at least there will be a computer on which to show our power points.
Well, this is all the news I can come up with for tonight.
