I am no science student.
You know you're a social science student as soon as any equation or exact answer has to come into effect. I am spending my 4 year Mount Allison Degree, working on a major in Anthropology(The science that deals with the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics, and social customs and beliefs of humankind.) So how did i get myself in this predicament you might ask yourself? During a 4 year degree, you must take 2 science courses to graduate and i was told that this would be the most interesting out of all of them ( Not informing me that there is math involved in the process to gaining the distribution course). I bring up the math because, it has been almost 3 entire years since i had to do an equation more then two lines long(it might sound pathetic but, its true!) This is my adventure and i invite you to follow me through the good times and the bad(hopefully they are all good, but i am a realist! :P)

Corona anyone? Sure. Whats that? Science. HAHA sucker!
IS that what you were thinking? Me too! But, apparently that doesn't have much to do with the topic of discussion. The corona that we are going to be discussing is the type of plasma or atmosphere of our Sun or other Celestial Body!
Pretty cool eh?... Read more

Through this semester you can follow my exploration of space and the parts of the universe... Read more
