First Day Back

11:09 o'clock... Dad walks into my room and tells me to Get up! Get up! 11:30AM, I'm out the door and on my way to the bus stop in Chinatown.  Once I got there, I said my good byes to my dad, and then went into the waiting room of the bus station and started watching TV and utilizing the free wifi that they had there.  I was pretty early.  12:40, time to get on the bus.  I looked around the bus for some empty seats, and being the lazy kid that I am, I took the first pair of unoccupied seats that I saw..when I then realized that the woman sitting in front of me had her seat pushed all the way back.  It was really cramped and I couldn't take put my laptop on my lap so I put it on the seat next to me, until some guy came and asked to sit next to me.  I said it was fine... I fell asleep, and next thing I knew, I'm in Boston. 

6:30PM, I dropped my ridiculous luggage off at my room, and clicked the 4th floor button on the elevator to go to my friend's room to chill and then grab some dinner.  After I got back, I did nothing in my friend's room til like 10:30PM, when we decided to go out to Applebee's and get dinner...again.

When the bus came, it was pretty empty, but after everyone on the stop that I was waiting at got on... we probably filled half the bus.  Then as we stopped by another stop, a billion more people got on.  It just filled up in an instant, but more people continued to push their way in.    Then this one blonde girl decided that it'd be a good idea to just sorta lean/sit on me, and as my hands were still by the seat to hold my umbrella, the back of my hands eventually ended up touching something that I didn't really want it to touch.  Not on purpose at all, I didn't mean to or want to..the bus just became too packed and I couldn't move, and she moved on me.  On purpose or not, I can't say for sure, but it ended up happening and I just looked at my friend next to me and he looked back at me.  Her friend decided to sit on the inside of my other leg.... they both turned around and apologized and introduced themselves and asked for my name and my friend's name.  I told them John, he told them Carmel.  They were like, nice to meet you John and Jeremy..... I can't remember one of their names, but the other was Lauren or something -- both sophomores.  Then she apologized again and said... "sorry if i'm backwards straddling you."  But I'm pretty sure this was all an accident and it was cause the bus got so full so they were just pushed onto me by the other 50 people behind them, but even so... interesting first day.

After Applebee's, I went back with my friends to one guy's room and we just hung out there til like 4AM, when then I finally decided to go back to my room and fell asleep.  I didn't even uppack yet.  Ugh...
