Pictures: Leonid Meteor Shower
1. What your suppose to see 2. What we saw last night
Hey everyone, today, I’m going to tell you a story. A story about my Monday night, last night – when the Leonid meteor shower came to the Mount. My roommates had a bright idea to stay up until 4 and watch the meteor shower. (A Mount Facebook event also had the bright idea!) To keep awake until 4AM, I figured it was no better time to start my project due for next week. At 4AM, 60 or 70 of us all headed up to the Mother House Hill (you will learn more about that later in the winter). We had hot chocolate, guitar players & singers to keep our minds off the cold, we also had our comforters which got bad grass stains in them (sorry Mom!) So, here we are, at 4AM – 60 something people sitting on a huge hill, waiting for some magically star show.
Then guess what happened. Clouds, clouds happened; and everyone knows – nothing kills a star show like clouds. So, I guess the meteor shower didn’t really go as planned. But at least I got my project done & some marshmallow hot chocolate. The moral of the story is that even thought the clouds ruined our entertainment – all of us still sat on the hill drinking hot chocolate & having fun. It’s so easy to make friends at the Mount and this is just one example of that. So, for next year’s meteor shower I hope to see some of you there. Hopefully the clouds don’t ruin your fun next year.
PS: I tried to take ya’ll pictures of last night. Sorry they suck, blame it on the clouds. For all the pictures – check out the facebook group.
Until next time,
Julie
