(Remember yesterday, when I admitted publicly to my inner geekdom? Well... that continues here. If a fabulous lady with a brain is appalling to you, please escort yourself thusly... I get enough of that elsewhere thankyouverymuch!)
I find space fascinating. The amazing beauty, the astounding depths of unknown knowledge... it's all so intriguing. (Even though I'm scared of the dark.) Becoming an astrophysicist is a career path I was yearning to follow long before my favorite sitcom was popular. Unfortunately, it wasn't feasible. Maybe someday the stars will align and I'll chase that proverbial dream... but for now, I'll enjoy reliably paying my bills and not having thousands of dollars of student-loan debt.
I can just celebrate my geekdom with this dress:

And pretend that I'm okay with crunching numbers on an invoice instead of to answer the unanswerable questions of the universe.**2
Which means today I was giddy as a schoolgirl as I listened to this live interview between Bill Nye the Science Guy**1, the students whose experiments were selected for the Space Lab program on the International Space Station, and the astronaut reporting live via satellite from the International Space Station:
It's pretty amazing to see what high school kids are doing, and how the scientific community is supporting their growth into the future.
**1 Fantastical childhood flashback, anyone?
**2 Except that they aren't unanswerable. The answer is obviously 42.
