Hooray!

All finished the labs - it was great fun, the kids were awesome as always, and even the volunteers lightened up a bit more. One group of girls really sort of got attached to me, since they finished the lab half an hour early and so we could just sit around and chat - they kept asking what I wanted to do "when I grew up more" (I was flattered - one group yesterday called me "old"), so I got to tell them about wanting to be a professor and such. And one of them got all excited at the prospect. Hee!

Have done my homework and discovered that the rooftop observatory on campus will be open to the public this evening for viewings of the lunar eclipse (and bonus Saturn!). Looks like a super-warm night, so I'll be there! (Anyone in the area who could watch and geek out with me? From 7:30-9:00PM? (nice timing hereabouts) No? Oh, well. I'll go alone!)

I shudder to think of the light pollution we must have, here. At least campus is close to the river valley, so there's a bit of a natural buffer there - no giant office buildings thereabouts.

EDIT: Double-checked my provincial voter's registration and am good to vote on the 3rd! I am being productive today.

The light umbrella's beginning to encroach on the observatory down here, which causes a little grief- but it's still a lot darker than in the city/corridor. And clear skies tonight!

(Two more years for me to watch interprovincial politics play out. Unless I head out to Ontario for uni- it'd be a little strange to live in a federal Liberal stronghold, maybe, maybe not...
I still sometimes think Klein is premier. It's strange. Maybe because my mind makes a connection to Klein bottles and rambles on from there.)
