I finally did it! I was able to sleep late and not worry about the sun sneaking around and finding my eyes. I did this by placing a tri-fold wall in front of my window, that way when the sun came in it only hit the wall. That wall blocked the sunlight from me and cast a shadow on my bed allowing me to get a good extra hour or 2 of sleep this morning. This will now be a go to idea for me every time I am able to sleep in! For once it seems like I have beat the sunlight.

I recently bought a shirt, and it's not just any ordinary shirt, it has a secret! The shirt came with a UV laser light pen. When you shine the light on a certain area of the shirt (in my case it is a etch a sketch) you are able to draw or write whatever you want! I thought this was the coolest thing, I would have never thought you could do things like that with a uv light source!

Last night I was able to watch the sun go down, and while I watched I was noticing the opposite of what I was able to see on a morning a week or so ago. As I watched I found objects with green and red shades in them, and I saw them gradually loose those colors. While that was happening anything with a blue tint was unaffected and sort of stood out more to me. If I had noticed this before I knew what was happening, I probably would have thought it was magic!!

Well I just arrived home from watching a movie at a movie theater in Winter Park where you can order food and drinks while you watch the movie. I have been there before tonight, but every time I regret getting anything to eat because it's so dark while the movie is going! Tonight the food was brought to my table and then the next thing we know the lights dim and the movie starts, leaving us to figure out what we are doing and try not to make a mess eating in the dark while trying to watch a movie at the same time. They tried to light the theater with very dimmed lights overhead and dingy led rope lights along the bottom of the walls, but there is defiantly not near enough light intensity to see what I am doing. I am almost willing to sacrifice the quality of the movie to just get a little extra light to at least keep a drink in a glass and not everywhere else!

I replaced the lamp in my refrigerator this afternoon because I had a feeling it was getting a little dim in there. I just used a standard appliance bulb, and when I screwed the new one in there was an immediate noticeable chance. The color temperature was a more brilliant white and the light was bright enough to cover all the areas inside. Before I threw the old bulb away I looked at it to see all that black stuff that Sue was telling us about in class, and there it was! It was pretty neat to know what the process was that made that happen and why it happens!

Last night I was driving home from my job and on the horizon I saw blue lights going. I knew they were police lights, but I was just amazed at how far away I was able to see them. And even before I saw the actual car I was able to see the lights going on the other side of a hill. I assume they are LED lights, but whatever they are, they are super bright! It was almost blinding to drive by them, and even after I passed and had gotten a fair distance away they were still visible in my rear view mirror.

Today on my way to school I almost ran a red light along with another unfortunate car who actually ran it. The sun was directly behind me and as I came up to the light it was difficult to see the what the light said because all three colors looked lit up! I was almost certain it was green, but as it turns out it was red! I am unsure why the city would use lights that allowed the sun light to make that happen. I thought it was crazy how the light from the sun was able to do that!
