(translation: buses, tutors, and hummus.)
this morning i decided to catch the 7:40 bus instead of the 8:20 so that i would get to the church earlier to get more work done. what i didn't realize was that there are buses that are exactly the same as the city buses that run in the morning, but they take kids to school instead of taking the normal routes. so there are actually three different buses that run past the base at 7:40 in the morning.
so, unknowingly, i wave for the first one to stop. i thought it strange that there were no adults on the bus, but shook it off because it was taking the same route as usual. within the next few stops, there were other adults on the bus, so i felt more confident in my decision to get on this bus.
go figure that about a mile and three quarters away from the church, the bus turned off to go a different direction. ouch. so i get off at the first stop, but that wasn't for another quarter mile. so i got off and walked to church. i got there at about 8:30. it was a nice morning stroll through a beautiful park. a good time to think, pray, and get mentally ready for the day :)
i just felt like an idiot. a hit to the ego, i guess :) tomorrow i think i'll look a little closer at what the little screen says on the front of the bus...
on a much better note... i was given more responsibility today, which means more things to work on, which means that i won't have to piddle around trying to find things to do. it's a good thing. a very good thing.
AND i talked to andy today about helping me learn italian, so from here on out, i'll have a real live italian tutor! i'm excited.
kay, i'm going to go and learn how to conjugate italian verbs before i leave the church! on the way home, i'm buying garbanzo beans to make more hummus. again, i'm excited :)
