Since my class was canceled (yay! but we didn't know this until we got there (40 minute drive)). I have taken the time to watch some NASA tv with the mission highlights from the shuttle flight that landed this morning. Now I'm watching the crew press conference. Behold I give you Quick updates ( Read more... )

I'm in a good place right now.
