the time now is 7.29 am

And I'm in school! Like, what the HEY?

Well, it's a medium-length story, and not a very interesting one either. Once upon a time, I got fed up with morning buses and decided to drive to school. But since our family has only one car I have an obligation to send my brutha to HIS school first, and HE demands that we leave the house at 6 am.

Insert scream of agony here.

But that's fine, I'd do anything, even waking up at the hours of the undead, to avoid taking the morning bus to school.

Reasons why I hate the morning bus:

1. It is puke-inducing. It jerks forward, then stops, then jerks again, then stops, making my chocolate milk crawl back up my throat.
2. It moves at snail-pace because of traffic and a lot of working people flagging the damn bus.
3. You always don't get a seat because all the aunties / working people already took up the seats, and most of them are happily snoring away with their heads keeled back and drool dripping out of the corners of their mouth.
4. You get squeezed together with people who rushed through their morning routines, leaving their breaths smelling less than can be desired.
5. The working people's bulky briefcases poke you from all angles, and they think they're such big shots that they don't bother apologizing, or they act like it's a privilege to be poked by them.
6. When you lose your balance as a result of the jerking of the bus, there's nothing to hold on to other than the sweaty armpit of the person next to you.
7. I don't think we need more reasons here.

So hokay, I foresee myself hanging around school at this time for three times a week because I have 3 morning classes. It's all good. Gives me time to catch up on readings. Mon is a nerd but she is a nerd who managed to avoid morning commute!
