Are they gray or blue?

Oh man. I spent three hours this evening using a wicked cool telescope to look at the sky. AMAZING. Why didn't I get into astronomy? That shit is so fantastically cool it's unreal. I saw Andromeda, M3, M83, Polaris, the Cigar Galaxy and Orion. So cool. The views were small, of course, but you could see the 'fuzzies', which were galaxy and star clusters and cosmic clouds. So cool. It was worth being frozen to the bone.

I've gotten nothing but good news all day about my project regarding Planned Parenthood. Things get better when more effort and passion is invested, I noticed. Good; I'm glad. It seems like it's going to be a good event too. April 6th, 7:30 in Gamble, a panel on PPH sponsored by in*Touch. This is actually a really big deal for me. GO BIG OR GO HOME.

However, I won't lie, Mondays run me into the ground. Today I had class from 11 to 1215 and I was freaking out because I thought we had a quiz. The quiz is on Wednesday (PHEW). Then I had to rush to the Health Center to get Safe Break tabling stuff and I tabled at Blanchard ALONE til 1:40ish. Then I ran to my dorm, made some calls and emails in regards to my project, ran back to Blanchard for my cochair meeting at 3, visited Student Programs to get the OK for my project, emailed more people again, ran to MacGregor for CST dinner (only me and the other student liasons + Karen showed), and drove to the Observatory and risked getting a ticket for parking in a commuter spot lol, then 3 hours were spent in the cold observing the skies. Phew. My back hurts. Tomorrow is just as bad: wake at 7, read and breakfast, 930 leave for Smith, 1030 Soc class til 11:50, drive back to MHC, lunch at 12:30ish in Mac alone probably reading more, seminar from 115 to 405, try to make the Ethiopian Jewish event, dinner?, go to intouch meeting at 530 til 7, and then write my midterm paper. Not going to the gym is killing me ha. Oh well, Wednesday will be so much better. I'm looking forward to Wednesday 1:30 pm.

Also, on Wednesday I'm interviewing my first participant for my sociology project on hardcore! I'm excited! He's been real nice and he's cute. AND HE'S JEWISH! Hah. I'm planning my second interview during the weekend if and when I go to Boston. Then my other two during Spring break. CHYEAH.

Alright, I need to go to bed. I'm tired and stressed. The busier I keep, the less I dwell on my miseries, which is good.
