Either I'm going crazy, my eyes are playing tricks on me, or I just
saw a few shooting stars for the first time in my life!!! I was just
looking out my window on the north side of the building, and I was
staring at the sky in the general vicinity of the Big Dipper, when I
saw what looked like a little zipping streak of light for just a tiny
fraction of a second. Like, I could've missed it if I'd blinked. I
kept staring at the sky for another ten minutes or so, and I saw at
least two more, so it had to be something. I vaguely remember
recently reading something about meteor showers on some local forum.
