My First Busride

I've never been on a public bus before. Yep that's me. I am now in a situation where unless I use the bus I would have to mooch rides off of people or be limited to the places I could walk to. Not fun. Of course there are several bars within walking distance to keep me occupied, but that's another post.

I just used the bus for the first time in my life. I felt stupid and I had a silly grin on my face for the longest time sitting there. I don't know what it meant, but it meant something. Knowing that I can get somewhere without someone driving me is significant maybe. Don't get me wrong I'd still prefer a car ride. Actually I'd love to be able to drive myself, but until that happens I guess I like knowing I'm not stuck.

It was very bumpy and loud and there were questionable noises coming from the back, but I made it to my destination. Well I thought the bus went through the college, but it stops at a park near it so I had to walk. It's strange, because on the map it seems to go through the school and I saw the bus stop at the school when I came to visit before. I don't know I'll have to look into it I guess.

But I am here and alive and I held up my promise to Joy that I would get on the bus. Of course I did only use it to go to school, but I still used the bus. Of course when I left my housing to go to the bus stop there was the school shuttle there. I could have chickened out and went on that, but I didn't. I also now know that the bus I took goes to two different grocery store... both of which carry liquor. In conclusion, I will survive.
