Shuttled back to Berkeley this morning on the 7:30 shuttle from UC Davis. I arrived at the bus at 7:30, and got in line behind two people who were waiting to board the packed bus. When the person in front of me was having their ticket collected, the bus driver announced that there were no more seats on the bus.

I was startled, since I thought my online reservation guaranteed me a seat on the bus. He informed me that the ticket stated that I needed to be at the stop 5 minutes prior to boarding to guarantee myself a seat. The passenger behind the driver's seat had an empty seat next to her that was filled with luggage, but she spoke up and said that there was an empty seat next to her. The driver grumbled something about how the luggage should have been put in the luggage space under the bus, and then allowed her to move the luggage, opening a seat for me. Praise God. As we were about to leave with a literally full bus, another girl ran up to the bus only to discover it completely full. She seemed just as shocked as I was, but one of the passengers near me shouted out of the bus that the train left for Berkeley at 7:50, or in 20 minutes. The girl shouted some words of thanks and quickly ran off with her mother.

Back in Berkeley, I dropped off my stuff at the apartment before walking back across campus to Soda hall where my lecture was at 9:30. My classes ended at 12, at which time I went and purchased my AI textbook. While doing this, I ran into James Park, and went to lunch with him.

In the afternoon and evening I worked on photoblog.com and on my homework sets.

At about 7:30, Albert came over and my small group (minus Tommy) and I had dinner with him. Sean made meat, and the guys upstairs made vegetables and a fish.

After dinner, the guys went out to get yogurt at Papamingos and study somewhere, but I decided to stay home and get my homework completed.

I need to shoot the digital equivalent of 6 rolls of film in downtown berkeley, and have 10 prints made by next tuesday. That's about 200-250 photographs. I'm hoping to do this on wednesday if I can get both of my homework assignments completed.
