i'll take my chances on truck(bus)stops and statelines.

so on thursday i fell alseep at 6am and got up at 7 to bring me my mom to work, then i had class til 1030 then i was supposed to take the 12:31 train to boston and proceed to take a bus from south station to hartford then another to uconn and spend my weekend there having mario parties and doing cutesy things. it sounds easy enough but look back at the first line, going to bed at 6 was the beginign of the end for me. when i got back from driving my mom and nearly crashing i went to my room to get my books off my bed but when i kneeled on my mattress i pretty much just went unconscience, i wake up to screams of my mother and i immedietly knew that i was a total retard, i ran down to the living room and she was there with my good friend brad who is a great guy for driving her home, but they got there at 12:37 seven minutes after my train leaves. so i panic and check the next times and i have a bit less than an hour to get to the train station but OF COURSE i had to do a ton of chores and get the rest of my stuff packed so i make it there JUST as the train arrives. i get to north station and take the orange line to down town crossing.... so far so good, despite me carring two bags that together weighed what felt like a billion pounds. when i get to the stop to change to the red line i only have about 45 minutes to get to south station get my ticket and leave, which should be plenty long enough except for that the red line was being INSANE and took soo long to come so after waiting nealry 15 minutes i decided to run the rest of the way to south station, i was soooooo relieved that i even made it considering i had no idea how to get there above ground. now i get to the ticket vender ready to buy my 67 dollar bus ticket but no dice, they changed their policy about not getting tickets in advance meaning i had to pay an extra fee making my ticket 80 dollars, putting me in a financial spot where i only have about 15 dollars left but lets not forget that i had pretty much just woke up and was running with a ton weight so i was extremely partched and hungry so lets make that 9 dollars. now i get on the bus and put my head phones on and sigh in relief that i'm finally on my way to taking a good weekend. i look up the bus out the front window and see a sign saying "exit 11 half mile" so with that i close my eyes and fall asleep a while, i wake up and my cd has gone passed mannnnnny songs and when i look up the road again WE ARE STILL BEFORE THE HALF MILE SIGN!!! at this point i notice everyone on the bus is irrate with just cause. so we get off the high way and take back roads around it getting to Hartford a half hour late when getting off the bus the driver says to hurry to the uconn bus so it can leave cuz it's waiting on some people from our bus. when i get on the bus the drivier comes on after about 10 minutes then for the next 20 keeps turing the bus on and off and NEVER once saying anything about what he was doing. so we leave after that circus now over and hour off schedual. the ride to uconn went pretty ok, minus being sooooo angry and late. when i get there i realize i don't recognize it at night nor do i see any land marks to point me in brooke's direction. so in being confussed i get a moment of clairity and realize the ton of shit i forgot to bring, including a tooth brust so i find the store and get one wasting 4 more dollars.... DOWN TO FIVE. then i walk in mild rain up several stairs and down a bit of a hill to brooke's dorm where i wait a few minutes for someone to coem and open the door for me, when i get in i DESSPERATELY need a shower so in being a total geek and wanting to surprise her and not wanting her to stay 20 feet away from me cuz i'm so gross i take a shower, i won't get into detail but it was like losing a fight, the water pressure is insane. luckily the horribleness ends with that shower because from the minute after it on was a dream, except the terrible night mare i had on saturday but that's here nor there i slept well after it. other than that the weekend was filled with staying up real late watching the da vinci code which was a terrible movie, playing mario party which i was zero for two in all weekend and now she's only EIGHT wins away from winning a mystery prize that has yet to be thought up. but speaking of which how the hell could the da vinci code be so bad? it had very little to do with the actual book at some points sheesh. saturday brooke me and her room mate meg went to "husky howl" which we thought was a thing for fat kids, turns out it was just a bunch of fun. we made a key chain with us looking real tough and brooke refused to dress up in a fat suit like a sumo wrestler, which i finally understand now that i'm writing it.. sunday we woke up after 1230 so i decidedit'd be a good idea to check the bus and train schedual, and of course i only had one option of bus to take at it was at 2 so we stayed real lazy for a while then decided to eat, we almost sarted another game of mario party but luckily one of us was smart and noticed it was 1:45 so i had to run from her dorm to the bus stop to get the bus that didn't even arrive til about 230. but remember that 5 dollars? yeah that fucked me real bad, i got a bottle of water for a dollar so now i'm at 4, i had to get a t- ticket so now i'm at 3 cuz i found a quarter in my pocket, but the train to wilminton is 3.75 and the guy on the train was realllllllly mad that i was trying to haggle with him but he stopped being a dick and let me slide.

despite all the hassles it was really a great weekend even though i got beat like rocky denise in a beauty pagent two times at mario party..... i know i always say this but NEXT TIME I AM GOING TO WIN!!! mark my words. now i'm off to make up two weeks of math homework..... but more realistically i'm gonna patttt shammmy for a while before hand...

bye bye star
