Dapper

There- finished first midterm today. I have no idea how it's going to be grades since there was only three questions and I wasn't sure what the teacher was aiming for, but I tried anyway. Essay questions in plant bio is always fun. As in, it is so not.

Went to watch fireworks last night. It turned out that I could get a great view just by walking up to the bridge that spans the highway. Of course there were some trees on either side, planted there to screen down the visual / airborne/ noise pollutions (yes, plants are handy that way) but the view's surprisingly - which, I guess, is helped by the fact that Davis isn't that big and there aren't that many tall buildings around (I'd originally thought about tall buildings nearby for firework-viewing, but the library's closed and they've locked up the roof-accessible lecture halls so I had to settle for the bridge). Also, I've found out that if I went out right now to the bridge at about nine-ish I can catch a spectacular sunset. It was really cool because I could look behind me and see where the sky's dark blue while in front of me the sky's still glowing orange-gold. Note-to-self: go out after nine more often on weekends.

It's apparently spare-the-air day at Davis today, and I felt very eco-conscious because I was biking. Before someone points out that I bike around anyway, even if it isn't a spare-the-air day, I'd also like to point out that I drive every weekend. In fact, I should hope that Saturday's not going to be a spare-the-air day, because I see no other alternative to getting two cat carriers (cats included) from South Davis to North Davis without almost certain disaster. Then I wouldn't feel very eco-conscious anymore but it can't be helped.

Another midterm tomorrow, and then onward to the weekend!
