The life of a struggling teen.

well...BUGGER!!!

Well today as always I have had a great day folks! Started of great by me waking up late resulting in me running around like a headless chicken trying to get everything together before I had to leave the house to go to my college to do some work! To then make things better my bus left early so I missed it, so I had to wait for the later one, which resulted in me being 15 minuets late for the meeting I had at college, and also ended up turning me into a bright red sweating tomato look-alike as I decided to take a very risk walk from the bus stop to the college (which is up hill by the way) to try and catch up on a little lost time. However all it really resulted in was me looking dreadful when I had to walk into the room full of people for my meeting.

Of course at this point I was thinking, 'OK, well the morning has been pretty shitty, but I'm sure it won't be too bad now', how wrong could I be.

The college meeting was supposed to be finished at 4pm, however it ran over which meant that I didn't get to leave until about 5.15pm. I then waited at the bus stop just down the road from the college which only 1 bus runs from every hour, however it was due about 5 minuets after I left so I decided to catch that bus instead of trekking to the main stop where I could catch a more regular bus. Well it got to 5.18pm when the bus was due, no sign of it. It then got to 5.30pm, still no sign. At 5.45pm I decided that it was now beyond a joke as I was stood at the bus stop by myself looking like a real fool, freezing to death as the wind was blowing around me. By the time it reached 5.55pm and it had started to rain I was livid! What its the point of advertising a bus that only runs once an hour anyway, if it isn't going to show up. So I decided to face the inevitable, that I was now after waiting more than 30 minuets for the bus that didn't show, I was still going to have to make the trek to the other bus stop!

Again I was thinking, 'Well OK, things have been really crap so far, lets just hope I don't have to wait too long for a bus at this stop'. Again I was wrong. Just as I was approaching the bus stop, what went past, of course it had to be the bus that I needed to get home. By this point I was just about ready to kill someone. I swear down that had there of been someone from the bus company at that bus stop, I may not have been able to get to a computer for a VERY long time!

Anyway I stomped my way over to the bus stop, to check the time of the next bus, and of course because it was now 6.30pm the buses had switched to their evening timetables which meant of course that I got to wait an extra 15 minuets longer than the normal 20 minuet wait for a bus! Lucky me!!!! Well eventually the bus arrived, I got on and of course there were no seats where I could just sit alone and brood, which of course meant that I got to sit by some smelly old guy who really needed to get some deodorant.

By the time I got home (over an hour after I got on the bus, as of course everywhere is full of roadworks as it is 'Lets dig up the road and put it back down exactly the same time' of the year again) I was tired, starving as I had hardly eaten all day due to the waking up late and missing the bus issues, well and truly fucked off and to top it all off I was soaked to the skin!

What a bloody great start to my week!

Well as the song goes 'Things can only get better'. However in my case I usually find that they just get worse!

Hope you all had a better start to the week than I did.

Update again soon

Haha that's awesome about your dog!!!!

Do you live in a downtown area that you take the bus??? I live in the suburbs, so my car is...everything to me haha. Sometimes I go downtown and ride the bus, but it's only occassionally. That sucks how your day went though...days like that are almost funny because everything just goes wrong. And of course, it had to start raining...

Yeah I live in a very busy area, and I don't drive yet (as I can't afford to have lessons! :( ) So my only real means of transport is the bus, unless I can skank a lift off my Mom somewhere, but she will only take me short distances, not to college and back.

I know what you mean, I feel as if my life is like a book or a film that everyone goes to see because it makes you think that your life isn't so bad in comparison. It had to rain, it always bloody rains, even when it is sunny it rains here!!

Thanks again for the comment
