Bim's Big Buses

Today was the first class for my GIS course. It started late (without an apology but hey). It also went WAY over time (also without an apology) and of course people didn't bank on class ending so late so hunger was in the air. I had stabbing headaches while attempting to listen and follow (not sure what's with these frequent-ish headaches but they better stop!).

Class ended and I ate. Then wondered what to do. I had some business to take of in town so I called to find out what I needed and decided to venture there. I found the place easy enough and the transaction was a lot quicker and easier than I anticipated. Then I went to buy milk, but on the way I realised I needed a surge protector so I stopped and got that as well as AAA batteries that I need for my music thingy.

I got what I needed then ventured to catch the UWI bus to go back to campus. I was one person too late. So I decided today is the day to catch the BBB that I see on the roads but never travelled in. My Goodness!

First off, the signs didn't quite appear for me to read easily to know which bus parks where. I asked people standing there. Eventually (about 10 minutes of waiting) I asked one of the drivers for another bus, who showed me who to ask. Somehow that person disappeared when I was heading to him. Someone showed me who else to ask. That person sent me to someone else. This someone else told me should be there anytime now. Anytime now was 20 minutes later. Needless to say I was the first person on the bus.

The bus drove off about 5 minutes later, and lots of people came on along the way. One in particular was an old lady who came and sat beside me. (Forgive me Lord) I was hoping she didn't sit beside me, but alas! The was leaning over on me and telling me to put by bag on the ground. Say what?! Ok, I ignore and move on. Few minutes later an elderly man came on (walking with a cane) and the seats were all gone, so I was getting up to offer him my seat. Lady beside me stopped just short of cussing me! Oh no she didn't! I turned to her and asked her with as much respect as I could if she had a problem with me offering my seat to the man. The man of course refused because he said he was getting off shortly. Other persons (mostly elders for the record) turned to me and told me to ignore her. Good advice. I was kinda pissed. I said a prayer to ask God to take away whatever it was that causing me to feel this way, and she came off the bus shortly after. Sigh. Lots of work to do.

The good thing about the bus is it drops me relatively close to home. So after an hour of being on the road trying to get home I finally reach. Had a slight headache (again) so chatted a bit then tried sleeping. I think I dozed. Not too sure.
