Astro GCSU: “I am the best astronomer”


I woke up at 8:30 because my roomates/alarm clocks were playing DnD and I have an inability to hear the first 12 alarms. I managed to get to Herty at 8:55. Today we were in a much better lecture hall (I have no idea why weren’t here before) because the floors near the original lecture hall were being waxed. This morning we had lecture with Dr.C over Taylor Series. Now at lunch I enjoyed some pasta and watermelon along with some red 40 rich Hi-C (normally I’d have the best drink known to man: pink lemonade, but they switched back to the less superior regular lemonade. We then had lecture in the afternoon with Dr. M over momentum. Then I went for a run where I learned that lifting and not doing my cardio was not the best thing for my heart health. After dinner I was trying to wash my clothes but unfortunately the one washer available was filled with water(I think it broke) so that was unlucky. I went back to Herty and finished some of my pset and worked on my OD code 2. Now it was my time to cook. I finished the normal asteroid imaging with about 20 minutes left and decided to image some interesting things. Even with the limitations placed on the telescope’s exposure time I managed to image the Pillars of Creation (see below) and the Sombrero Galaxy. Overall SSP has been a blast and I’m looking forward to the rest of the program.
