who wants to hear a funny stoooooorrryyyyy?
last night i left canterbury at 715 on the bus to london to stay thenight and take the train to the airport...
45 minutes into the journey i realize I DONT HAVE MY PASSPORT. can't fly out of the country without THAT. freak out insues. i cant get off the bus and taxi back to uni, itll be expensive, i dont know where i am. its all small towns. maybe i can pay someone to drive it to me. wait they cant get into my locked room. maybe marisia & bronwyn can pick it. no its a deadbolt. the only two people with cars aren't at uni anyway. crap what do i do? i can't go. no i HAVE to go, i spent so much money. is this the last coach from canterbury for the night? what about back? by the time i get to canterbury, and ill i have to take a taxi which is expensive back to uni, itll be midnight. its sunday there are no coaches that late. tomorrow is a BANKHOLIDAY! they may not start until 10. i have to be at the airport at 930,its 3 hours from canterbury. CRRRRAAAAAAP speed freak out texting . Marisia, what's the last coach back to uni? whats the last coach from uni to london tonight_none? what about the morninbg? wait is that coach or trian that leaves at740? which station? only to victoria? i gotta go tostanstead another hour out...that means the hostel i booked i wont use... 24dollars gone.. uuugh. ok what about trains? faster, but expensive... well, whats another 40lbs . just kidding no more trains for the night...ok. theres a train back at 10p, i get there at 9pm. ill get that far and ask the clerk... ausioödjfglkasjfoieutuäåweåfksdlkgneariotuj384uoijaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!
thats my brain for 2 hours in a nut shell.
what happened: got to london by coach at 9, immediately talked to the train ticket lady, Esther, yes there was a train out at 10 but nothing until 7 the next morning with 3 changes and i wouldnt get there until 1030. but she made me go to talk to the coach people b-c they ran all night (not information given freely on the website) thank God she did that! I got a coach back straight to uni, stayed the night in canterbury, up at 430am, taxi from uni to town at 510am, coach out of canterbury at 540, coach out of london to the airport at 8am... there at 915am!
i should have just done that in the first place and not even bothered with a hostel.
