After going to the science museum
The science museum was brilliant. It mostly focused on astronomy and biology, which is great because those are the two sciences in which I am the most interested. Seeing the Endeavour was an absolutely amazing experience. It made the universe feel almost like a bigger place for being not entirely out of reach for us here on Earth. I got some ideas for stories and poems, and I think I ended up educating some kids who were at the museum (they were looking at exhibits excitedly and I told them a bit about what they were looking at to help them learn. One adult actually asked me if I was a teacher; I said no, I just know stuff.) I think I really did learn a lot at the museum, or at least some (there are some facts about stars and galaxies and telescopes I will retain), and that coupled with the rare opportunity to see such an important object in the history of astronomy is really fantastic.
