I went to UCB Museum of Anthropology today to check out some of the Greek pottery from the Phoebe Hearst collection. I took some photos and notes. On the way back I bought books for my classes today at the campus book store. This is by far the most books I have had to get for any semester yet. Western Civ requires 12 books, I think my political theory class requires 8 books, and I think it is 6 books for Chinese political science…I just realized that I forgot to pick up the text for Psych C126. I got two “wows” from my cashier and one “wow” from the cashier standing next to her when I set my books on the check-out counter, so I guess my reading load is above average. The prices were about average for text books and that sure added up. As I walked home none of the panhandlers on Telegraph asked me for money. I guess they noticed my bulging campus bookstore bags, they were hard to miss.
