Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Beyond

  Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Beyond, is my topic for Applied Skills. We are learning about quantum mechanics, and each of us have to do a presentation on one of the topics. The process of assigning topics to everyone was very interesting. We had a substitute, and she came up with the idea of choosing topics by guessing numbers. Basically all we had to do was raise our hand when she read a topic that we wanted, and then pick a number. The person with the closest number to the one she had in mind would get the topic.
  That was the day I realized that 7 was indeed not my lucky number at all. I think my lucky number is 8, but I don't really care any more, because numbers are only lucky when you think they are.
  I tried many times for different topics, including black holes, dark energy, the sun and the stars, etc. But I never got my numbers right. In the end, when there was only 1 free choice left on the list of topics (the rest were left overs that no one wanted), I finally won my current topic with the nice number 82. I didn't know what made me guess 82 instead of something stupid like 77, I think the number just came to me...
  Well, I am glad I got this topic, because researching about the planets is really interesting. I think the best part of my topic is that I have the "and beyond" part. At first, I didn't know what to possibly do for the "beyond". But now, I have so much to do, that I have to limit myself or else my presentation will be over the time limit of 10 minutes.
  10 minutes is a really short time. I have so much to say!
  I am having eons of fun making my presentation on Prezi. Prezi is simply awesome, mind-blowing, and completely outside of the box.
  Now I am going to go back to my exciting tour of our solar system, I will post my Prezi on my blog once I finish presenting it!
