Public Transportation and Mexican Food


Today I woke up, as I do most days. I finished watching the Godfather part II, which was fabulous. At the same time, I completed my art homework. After showering, eating and getting dressed, I went to wait for the bus.

Though I was running late for class, I stopped by Gibson's to buy a kneaded eraser, and ran into my cousin Jared. Seeing people I know at school always makes me happy, especially if it's people I like. Apparently he works at Gibson's, and no one bothered to inform me of this.

Eraser in hand, I set off to class, stopping to appreciate the lime green halls on the first floor of Gannon. I learned that my art teacher had a bone infection, and had to have her toe removed. We had a moment of silence for her toe, and then moved on. I enjoy that class very much, though I am far too shy to speak up in it.

Class got out an hour early, so I decided to catch a bus to Iris's instead of waiting to be picked up. On the bus a boy with headphones sat next to me. After a period he removed his headphones and our conversation went something like this
Headphones Boy: "Are you alright?"
Me: "Ah, what?"
Headphones Boy: "You look confused, or nervous or out of place or something"
Me: -Laughs awkwardly- "Oh, I always look like that"
Headphones Boy: "So I gather you go to LCC?"
Me: "Yup, I'm a freshman"
Headphones Boy: "What are you taking?"
Me: "Math, Art, Chemistry and... PE"
Headphones Boy: "There's a spider on your collar"
Me: -Brushes collar and looks at it nervously-
Headphones Boy: "I think it fell in"
Me: -looks under collar, rather distressed- "Well... it doesn't matter I guess" (by this point I'm slightly horrified)
Headphones Boy: "Haha, so what art are you taking"
Me: "102"
Headphones Boy: "Oh, I'm taking that.. for the second time"
Me: "Oh, neat.."

Well, the rest of the conversation wasn't too memorable, but it was an odd occurrence. For the rest of the day I was paranoid that there was a spider in my shirt.

I got off the bus, and headed to Iris's. Much to my distress, no one answered the door when I knocked, so I decided I had better head back to LCC in case they had gone there to get me.

Almost as soon as I had logged on in the computer lab, Iris showed up. We headed off to El Azteco and ate Mexican food! It was delicious.

Seeing as I'm staying in Lansing this weekend, Iris came over to hang out and we went to the park. Fun times were had, and over all I had a good day.

I've run out of steam, and don't feel like typing anymore.

That's how it goes.
