Last night was a horror. Right after I left the computer lab, I tried to take the bus home. Make that a very big TRIED. Once again, I took the wrong bus. I left at 7 and did not get home until 9 p.m. I felt bad because my family came out to look for me. They probably thought I was murdered on the side of a street somewhere. I was on the bus in another town, at night, and it is very difficult to describe what the buses are like. They are little buses, not big, and they go everywhere. Into people's neighborhoods, too. The towns I was in were very rural. At one point, I was the only one on the bus, and then this drunk man with a sombrero got on the bus. He was trying to hold my hand and stuff! It is kinda funny. Finally, I told the bus driver what I was trying to do, and the drunk guy (I can't remember his name), told me that I needed to get off the bus at the next stop! I figured that I needed to switch, so I went ahead, and he got off with me! But it was okay, because he was pretty harmless, and he showed me the right bus, rode with me some more, and finaly left. When I got back to near my town, a lady helped me out. She told me the right bus to take and said that I could go back to the school and take a taxi, but she told me wihch taxi to take, because some are very dangerous. This is what I did, and I finally got home.
This morning, my house mother took the bus with me, and showed me where to stand. The funny thing is, it's really not that hard. I knew this last night, but I don't know what I was doing. Anyhow, I wasn't really that scared, until I started worrying that the bus would stop running soon.
I had a confidence boost this morning. I found out that I placed into the second level of advanced classes here, whicih is the highest level! Even on my composition! Because of that, I can take any classes here that I would like. I was happy about that. It's funny, sometimes, I don't feel very advanced! Anyhow, I was trying to register for intermediate composition and intermediate conversation, and my advisor was asking why I wanted to do that. I told her that I don't feel comfortable yet in the advanced classes for composition and speaking, but I did end up taking Phonetics, Into to Literature, and Mexican Culture, which are all advanced. God help me. I feel like 5 classes is too much, but oh, well. I need them in order to graduate on time.
Otherwise, everything is fine. I am getting hungry, so I had better go now.
