Magical Moments (Brought to you by Metro)
Well folks, after a bitter sweet month I am back… Back in oh so many ways… My computer is finally fixed :) and by the way, to the folks from last night.. I got the keyboard up, but true to form, as soon as I got that working, the modem quit… so maybe with a little more tinkering I’ll get the whole system up and running… maybe…
I’m in a surprisingly good mood considering the happenings of the day… I got up this morning at an irreligiously early hour, then cleaned my house… no… not very auspicious beginnings, but God knows (as do four good friends)that it was necessary… Then I went out into the cold to ride the Metro… I’m not a huge fan of the bus system at the best of times, but today was particularly bad. I was experimenting with a new route, if it worked, it would cut my transit time -from home to school- in half. Well, I got to the bus station in the nick of time and got to my connection fine. The only trouble was that the street signs were missing at my stop, so it wasn’t until the last second that I decided to trust my instinct and disembark. Well, about two minutes after the bus pulled away from the station, I realized that my purse (complete with wallet, money, ID… everything but the kitchen sink) was still on board… I was a little rattled, especially since I was convinced (erroneously, it turns out) that my keys were also in the purse… Just then two buses pulled up to the stop and I, still shaken, got on the first one. A few minutes later, I awoke from my reverie to discover that I was on the WRONG BUS… SO.. I got off and walked about 15 blocks to school….
Ugh… not the greatest morning…
Ironically, it’s school that’s cheered me up…My schedule this semester is truly great. French, Math, English, “Persuasion and Argumentation” and Photography…. I like all of my professors except for the Math teacher… He seems a little senile and says “lookit” every 20 seconds… which is really jarring for some reason… still, the day was wonderful…
