last night we had a little farewell celebration for elena (one of my co-workers). she's the one i mentioned before that her fiance got the professor job in new jersey and she was moving with him and found this perfectly her job close by. so she applied and got it! i'm so so happy for her. she went through a stage of unemployment after graduating from grad school and wasn't looking forward to going through that again and now she won't!
we will miss her though. the three of us kind-of fit and we were just getting used to each other enough to know each other's preferences. liz likes high school kiddos. elena liked upper grade school into a little middle school, specifically 4th grade. i like pre k-2nd ish. especially pre k -1. mainly i like them because i can get down on their level. one of my bosses once told me it's always fun to watch me interact with the little ones. i don't really know that what means. i didn't ask. at about 6th grade up, they're all taller than me, and i don't like that. i digress.
she's moving on to bigger and better things and she's so excited! and i'm so excited for her!
so we're wrapping up our insane month (when did you go on field trips in school? may) and elena's wrapping up her time so we're just celebrating everything. last one of this, last one of that...
it's kind-of fun

SPACE WEATHER: What is a storm on the Sun like? Most of the time when we talk about “the weather,” we are referring to the state of Earth’s atmosphere that gives us rain, wind, and temperature changes. The “space weather” produced by the Sun extends deep into the Solar System. It drives some of the greatest changes in our local space environment—affecting our magnetosphere, ionosphere, atmosphere, and potentially our climate. The Sun contains very powerful magnetic fields and they can become twisted and tangled, storing enormous amounts of energy. When the Sun becomes stormy, all that pent-up energy erupts in the form of the Solar System's largest explosions: solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These blasts of light and charged gas rip through the solar wind and sometimes impact the bodies of the Solar System. Luckily, Earth’s magnetosphere acts as a shield, and its atmosphere absorbs the dangerous radiation, protecting us. Image Credit: NASA/SDO from the From Earth to the Solar System collection |
