Weather still breezily nice here at Davis. I am slightly behind in terms of math homework now because I have apparently just figured out how the range works if the graph isn't flat...so up and away for another round of algebra.
Pumpkin picking was great fun yesterday. It was a sort of a field trip where the teacher (and volunteer student drivers) drove us around the land belonging to UCD and gave us a few lectures at different spots as well as let us pick things. We had 30 people in 4 vans, mine had 8 people and I don't know the name of any of them, and no one knew anyone else, but nevertheless we were joking around and such as the van bounced over grounds that were not quite used to the rubbery roundness of the tires. It's like we're friends, except at the end of the day, after you went home, you realize you still don't know who any of the people are, aside from the fact that this guy lived in an apartment and that guy carved a homestar pumpkin last year or this girl is having trouble with her bike...things like that. I think it must be a Davis thing. Strange.
Apocalyptic class continues, having moved past DEAD SEA SCROLLS, BOOK OF ENOCH, we now proceeded with BOOK OF RELEVATIONS (including, but limited to chapter 6, verses 8-12, heh) and something that includes the word "messianic" is next. Wonderfully cheery still, what with the rain of blood and hail and thunder and 1/3 of all things dying. Also, the stuff's overly symbolic. I mean, if you thought Joseph Conrad was bad...these things are just...mind-blowingly-overly-symbolic.
Readings, and not interesting ones, either.
