From Libby
First Semester I went to the Planetarium with this guy I met in my photo class. He's from Kansas and has always wanted to go to the Planetarium because they don't have a Planetarium where he's from. We kept planning on going but it never worked out until the last day he was in town before he was transferring back to Kansas for school. So it was a windy and cold day on the day we decided to go. He met me in front of my building and we began to walk towards the Planetarium. It was a long long walk in the blustering wind and slight rain. At first I thought it was going to be a friendly little outing but apparently he thought we were going on a date. It was also a Tuesday afternoon so once we got there the planetarium was completely empty except for us and the people who worked there. So it was emcredibly awkward from the start. We got out tickets to see "Star of Wonder" because both of us heard it was good. And we walked around the exhibits for awhile and skimmed the noninteresting facts about the solar system. Then we finally got into the giant theatre where they projected the show above our heads on a dome and everyone got to sit in big black cushy chairs that tilted back. Once the show started I knew it was going to long and boring. The voice that projected out all the facts was dull and sounded like a person reading out of a text book. The whole show was about the birth of Christ and it seemed somewhat interesting in the beginning but after awhile I couldn't strain to understand the content any longer. Once we left we both agreed the show could have been better. We road the bus home and my friend tried to take a Polaroid picture of the both of us but failed and only got his face in the picture. And that's all I have to say about that.
