Day seventy-nine.

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time rearranging boxes, picking fonts, and trying to make the appearance of this daily blog journey look cool. Ah, I wish I didn't. My time could have been more productive.

But anyways,
Today is the Vernal Equinox, which marks the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Since I'm taking Astronomy, I know what this means !

Each point where the celestial equator and ecliptic intersect is called an equinox because when the Sun appears at either point, day and night are 'equal' (each about 12 hours long) at all locations on Earth. The Sun passes northward across this special point at the vernal (Latin for Spring) equinox.

As I'm reading in my astronomy book right now..."since the seasons are opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres, for Australians and South Africans the vernal equinox actually marks the beginning of autumn.

There's your science lesson for today.

I'm watching my friend's family chickens while they're away for Spring Break. They seem like unintelligent animals, but I like 'em. Each night I find three brown eggs in their coop, lying there like presents. Some day I'd like a big backyard where chickens can roam around happily and lay some eggs.
