On the buses

I am just copying what I wrote to Clare. So if it is a bit haphazard, then you know why.

The bus ride was interesting. On the way in it was a pretty short and comfy 40 odd minutes. Downtown is pretty immense. Found the college alright but can't figure out where to get into it...

Walked around for about an hour and half and went into Starbucks for breakfast.

The bus ride back, however, was a strange experience. I mean, it was a bus journey, but it seemed to just drive in a straight line. For a long time. So, from where I caught it to where I stopped off took an hour. Could I deal with essentially 2 hours each day of sitting in a bus? Maybe. For $1.25 flatrate, it's certainly a cheap way to travel.

After my experience on the buses, I went to Wal-Mart again via McDonalds. Food is good. Bought some bits and bobs for studying and ended up in a queue behind a 60-70 year old lady who paid by cheque and couldn't understand how to sign on a computer screen. It pissed me off to the point of tutting. Tutting!

Deciding that, fuck it, I haven't drowned in my own sweat enough today, I went the other way from the house and went into Target.

The whole walk took about 30 minutes, maybe 40, in total. When I got back the pool could not be ignored.

And that's what my day consisted of.
