the big dipper is really very pretty.. too bad we can't really see it from singapore.. its supposed to be a winter constellation... and i didn't know that the stars you see in the sky vary from where you're at on earth.. like in singapore there aren't circumpolar constellations (constellations that will always be in the sky all day, all night, and all your the year..) so interesting right? =P
now i just have to study for this exam on monday and write a paper on last friday's trip to the observatory.. we saw the big dipper and we saw mars and saturn througha telescope~!! saturn really does look like that picture in our primary school textbooks~! you can actually see the ring..
so.. the expo is over.. we apparently did very well =) but we have to type up our final report. =( its due next tuesday and there's tons to write..
on another note.. mommie's arriving next sunday~! and its only a week and a half till my whole family's here=) i'll get to see meredith again.. she's been super adorable on the webcam and i kinda miss it not having webcammed her for a week already.. this week has been way too crazy..
anyways.. i'm excited aout going to tenessee with my mommie and her best fren.. =) i've booked a lovely cabin overlooking the smoky montains national park =) it should have breathtaking views and i think it has a hot tub in it and jacuzzi, and living room with fireplace( not sure it'll be lit in spring)... 3 sleepers~!! (this was the smallest unit available).. and we'll hopefully be able to drive up to see a gorgeous sunset=) and just maybe see a waterfall or two. And possibly take a few short hikes?
we're selling our stuff in our apartment already.. bleah. was putting it off cos i didn' wanna face having to move out. heh. i -am- excited about grad school.. but this apartment has def been a great home for me.. val and i were just saying how we'd miss it and it really feels like home now...
i guess this is another spurt of ramblings.. a lot of things on my mind.. i kinda needed a break and needed to spit some random things out.
have NOT had too much sleep this week cos of senior design. and it should be a well known fact that i cannot survive without sufficient sleep. i get grumpy. =(
need to catch up on sleep.
*yawns*
some photos from senior's day..
