ahh the bus ride to school, this blog is all about jessica and i's experiences on our faithful 790.
1-19-11 the 7:20
we arrived at the bus stop just in time to file on to the 790 with all our fellow college kids bound for learning on the second day of school
we were slightly late. (my fault)
today we sat near the back on the top of the bus near the engine, however, i heard the engine along with what sounded to be someone sitting behind us imitating the engine noise.
"hhuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm" i heard behind me. squealing and high pitched squeaking with the brakes as well.
then the man sitting behind us broke into song when the bus wasn't moving, humming incomprehensible words not-so under his breath.
jess and i turned to each other with puzzled looks on our faces
...crackle...chew chew chew
"oh no!" i thought "i gotta keep an eye on this guy so he doesn't put his trash in our hoods"
(not sure why i thought this, but i deemed it appropriate to look nonchalantly over my shoulder every now and again to make sure nothing was in jess's hood.
then an annoyingly loud man got on and divulged his hatred of traffic, drunk drivers, texters-and-drivers, to an equally obnoxious lady. turns out both their spouses had some kind of degenerative disease. huh.
thankfully they all didn't stay too long, as i was attempting to comprehend the Iliad and failing miserably because of the odd bus imitating guy and the two loud-mouthed complainers.

January 18, 2011
First day of school, I got on the bus to go to UNM, sat near the front, put in my headphones and stared out the window. Then i hear this person ask if he can sit next to me. i look up and see some guy in a army tshirt and sweats and say "um sure". i look out the window again and make a point out of turning up the volume on my ipod so he wont talk to me. but as soon as hes setteled, he shoves his hand in my face and introduces himself as Bobby. now he has really bad announciaion and im pretty sure he was slightly retarded so i was nice and shook his hand and told him my name. trying to get my anti-social nature across i again stare out the window and turn away from him, but he proceeds to ask me about my major and starts rambling about CNM and a bunch of other stuff i cant understand because of his speech impediment or something. now i look like the retard cause im constantly saying "what?" and "huh" and smiling like an idiot hoping he gets sick of a one sided conversation and leaves me alone. finally some other person across from us interests him and he leaves me in peace. Hooray!! but just when i think this awkward bus ride is about to end, he asks me if i will be back on thursday at the same time. i gave him a vague maybe which he then got all excited about and told me i would be his best friend on the bus and that he would sit by me again on thursday :(.......i gave him an awkward smile/grimace.... theeennnnnn i was relieved to be getting off the bus when i find him standing outside the bus door watiting for me!!! AAHHGGG!!! he had his hand out like he was gonna offer me help down so i fidgeted with my backpack to look busy as i got off then i tried to walk past him but he walked in front of me and was like "it was nice meeting you jess" and tried to take my hand again so i mumbled a "sure" and brushed past him, feeling awful for being mean to a retard and kinda creeped out cause he called me jess instead of jessica :( but life goes on. however, now i have to get on the bus earlier just to avoid my new bff. :P fml
