Youtube and all of its splendor: the reason I can't get myself to do work.
It's almost shameful how much time I spend on YouTube, it's not even that I'm a Youtuber myself, I don't post videos; I only watch them.
Which got me thinking: there are plenty of people out there in the world who like YouTube and its users.
So, here I go, trudging on towardsThe Great Perhaps that is the interwebz.

1:09 a.m. July 24, 2011.
I'm not exactly sure why but I can't sleep. It's tedious, but there's nothing I can do right now. I keep closing my eyes and trying to relax but my mind's going a mile a minute.
Instead I will keep reading Looking For Alaska until my head falls on my pillow.
For now I'll leave you with that.
I finished reading the third chapter of The Great Gatsby, I intend to finish it before school.

Stars.
My fantastic topic?
Stars are hot bodies of glowing gas that start their life in Nebulae. They vary in size, mass and temperature, diameters ranging from 450x smaller to over 1000x larger than that of the Sun. Masses range from a twentieth to over 50 solar masses and surface temperature can range from 3,000 degrees Celcius to over 50,000 degrees Celcius.
The colour of a star is determined by its temperature, the hottest stars are blue and the coolest stars are red. The Sun has a surface temperature of 5,500 degrees Celcius, its colour appears yellow.
The energy produced by the star is by nuclear fusion in the stars core. The brightness is measured in magnitude, the brighter the star the lower the magnitude goes down. There are two ways to measuring the brightness of a star, apparent magnitude is the brghtness seen from Earth, and absolute magnitude which is the brightness of a star seen from a standard distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 light years). Stars can be plotted on a graph using the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram.
