Star struck
The astronomy unit still will not die.
Two more weeks of this. If all goes well.
I love astronomy, but dear god, working on this unit has been torture. (In case you care, which you really shouldn't: I have been writing this unit since December, and it kind of sucked for a variety of reasons, but it was practically done. Then, the people in the editorial chain after me came along and rearranged everything. So I have been assigned to go back to working on it, rewriting things again, and it is highly confusing because everyone keeps changing everything. And there is a big drop-dead deadline with a three-million dollar grant attached to it and it must get done and be perfect. STABBY STABBY.)
Did we define the phrase "solar system objects"? How much do fourth graders know about comparative adjectives? How do you pronounce "Uranus?" Is it okay to say that moons are the only things that do not orbit the Sun, when in fact, they sort of orbit the Sun? These are the burning questions that fill my days. And nights.
When this stupid project is over, I am going to ingest enough beer to send my brain to Enceladus, which, in case you didn't know, is an icy and highly reflective moon of Saturn. You are all invited on my intergalactic journey.
Well, maybe not, but there will be rejoicing of some sort, dammit.
