I have not ranted about how awesome (yes, I just used that word) my plant bio class is. Or, at least, the lab was. Yesterday we went outside into the field, got assigned our own little plot of land, and spent the time planting stuff like celery, cabbage, and spinach. Afterwards the teacher took out these watermelons that are grown in another field, a large knife, and started carving out these HUGE chunks of melon and handing it out to everyone. So yes, we planted stuff and afterwards the teacher fed us, which is definitely not what you'd usually expect from a college class lab. You also don't expect to hear the teacher bellowing "who still haven't planted the parsley?!" in the middle of the class, and something about pak choi that no one really caught on.
They were very good watermelons.
Psychology was a two hour-ed lecture and I only regret the fact that the class ended when it was really, really dark (depth-perception being important while riding a bike). Finding out that some of the stuff I've already been doing has professional names was neat, provided that I can memorize the names. I have a heck lot of note-taking and journal-writing to do, but imagine that I'll be catching up sometimes today and tomorrow.
Upcoming of my first weekend spent at Davis, I foresee sleeping, eating, homework, and staring vacantly off into space, but predict that other things will get added along the way.
