adventures in bus riding

i have been thinking about this since wednesday. i was hanging with my friend and was going to get the bus home but she had to the store, so she was gonna get me closer. but then the bus was right behind us and she was like, ok, i'll get to the next stop and you get out and run, so i did and just made it, it was funny as hell =)

yesterday's bus adventure was un-fun. usually to get to this locale, i take the 9 (East/West) downtown and then the 12 (North/South) to tigard. i checked on-line bc it always seems like a waste to go downtown and it said to take the 75 (North/South) and connect to the 12. This seemed like a great alternative so I decided to take the 75 south to the 12 south. Wellity, wellity, wellity, turns out, i got on the bus going the wrong way! One would assume that if your goal is to get south, you would travel south to get there. but no, the directions were to take the 75 way far north, transfer to 12 to end up going into downtown on that bus and then go south. Way out of the way, I don't understand why the on-line and other directions and information from trimet are the worst. it took me like 2hours to do something that should take less than an hour. argh.

anyway, this weekend was jam-packed. friday i went to some friends house and talked and drank good beer. i walked home. it was nice. saturday i rode the bus a lot, but then met up with friends and saw inglorious basterds. amazing. then we hung out and i foolishly drank whiskey. only like 2shots mixed with something good tasting and a beer, but i feel like doing nothing today. with beer, as long as it's not too much, i can drink some coffee and go outside and go on with my day for the most part. liquor, not so much.

i did my individual work last night before i got drunk at my friends. but i didn't do my group work which they wanted yesterday, but it's not due until tomorrow. i posted that i would have it in today. one girl didn't post anything. i have to review and critique a team member's lesson plan. shouldn't be too much, just doing it. i need food. i have barely none and nothing i want to eat.

That's why you need that Madsen, so that you can do groceries in a big shop and always have good stuff in the house!!!
