English Lit, History and Communication & Culture are going good; Religious Studies...not so much.

Good luck, Reliant.

And a lazy Sunday... except for a couple of towel bars to put up. *Sigh* So easy to do... but so lazy, too. :P

Did anybody see the total solar eclipse yesterday? It was around 6:20pm Pacific Time when it was complete. We went to a beautiful spot called Bald Rock near Lake Oroville, here in California, to see it. What a picturesque view it was! Some places were selling special glasses that would allow you to see the whole thing without going blind for about $3-4.

Nope - the planet was inconsiderately pointing the wrong way.

That and I didn't know about it until after it happens. I have only seen it once and that was when I was in Elementary School.

I saw it; it was only a partial from where I live, you could just see the outline of the moon on the bottom of the sun.....very cool

Here in Houston, it blocked about the bottom third before it went below the horizon. Cool to see, for sure.

Missed it, sadly. :( I learned about it the day it happened, though.

Last time I saw a total eclipse was 1999, we knew about that one for about 20 years before the actual event. It was in a Guinness book of records I had as a kid. Graham and I planned to go and see it and ended up going to France for a few days. We messed up our hotel bookings and ended up sleeping in the car in a Motorway service station. Very cool though. This was the car :)

You guys must be WAY smaller than you look if the both of you slept in an MR2.

:lol: Before I read the whole post and looked closely at the pic, I thought you were going to say something like, "I saw an Eclipse recently - "

It looks like I am moving back to NJ within a couple of months. Turns out my apartment complex doesn't allow Full Time Students because they are afraid of it becoming into a dorm and some sort of IRS tax relief for the apartment that stipulates no full time students.

I can't do part time college because the GI Bill doesn't have a price limit (it's way up there) but a time limit. So 4 credit semester counts as 12 or 20 credit semester. I only got 36 months of free money. I don't want to screw myself.

So I am getting fuck out of this Communistwealth of Virginia. Going back to NJ just don't know yet.

I just started to dumpster dive for boxes.
