Upon leaving work this evening (or, rather, morning), I wandered down the sidewalk with my gaze, as usual, craned towards the night sky – blame the former Astronomy TA in me. Now’s really the time to do it, too, and I encourage you to join me in checking out Jupiter in the coming days, as it is currently closer to Earth than it’s been since 1951.
I paused at the crosswalk, bookbag behind me, one arm holding my laptop and book, the other loosely hanging from the back of my neck as I stared into the sky, deep in thought. It wasn’t until he honked lightly a few times that I noticed the cab driver then passing had slowed to gauge the situation. Stirred from the reverie, I shook my head to confirm that I would not be needing his services and slowly continued my short walk back to the dorm, eyes still trained on the sky.
But I had to wonder – did I look lost?
