Learning: my drug

Earlier, I mentioned that my job is sometimes characterized (by me, mostly) as being one that is pretty nice to have. One of the perks associated with it is that I get, for the most part, free education.

That might be the best part of working here.

I love to learn and frequently research or sign up for classes on any new subject that catches my fancy. Everything from from learning to draw to piano lessons to speaking in sign language and more. I guess I take on too much sometimes, but learning is my drug.

So, when a colleague pointed out that there is an Astronomy class that introduces students to basics such as identifying planets, stars, constellations and galaxies, discussions on celestial motion concepts and how to make a planisphere (used to locate stars), I thought it sounded pretty cool.

When I found out it would be held in our school's very own Planetarium, I signed up right away.

First class is tonight!
