Let it be onions and salamis
Having waited forty minutes for the bus this morning, I was highly annoyed when my bus did turn up but again wasn’t going the full length of the route. I boarded regardless, as at least I’d be closer to Racodac. (The same idea as this.)
As if waiting all that time wasn’t bad enough, two stops later the bus stopped because a single girl hadn’t paid her fare and needed to be detained on the vehicle. So after several wasted minutes, everyone had to get off and wait for the next bus.
Fortunately another bus arrived promptly and was going the full length of the route. At least, that’s what it said on the front of the bus, yet the driver had other plans mid-route.
So highly, highly annoyed, I waited for the next bus which took another ten minutes to show up.
My awareness of the poor state of the bus service thankfully saw me leaving extra-specially early this morning to get to Racodac on time for a lecture on copyright. And miraculously, I was only eight minutes late - having ran all the way from the bus stop.
Despite my late arrival (such as it was) all that I’d missed was fairly basic introductory type information that I already knew because of things like this.
After the lecture, something happened in the Graphics Studio. Something wonderful. But I’ll go into more detail about that separately, as the news doesn’t deserve to be tarnished here because of the negative vibes of this post. So there.
Context Studies at 2:00 PM was pretty much the screening of the film that was cancelled yesterday: Ken Loach’s Up The Junction, which forced me to bellow “ooer” when the title was announced, achieving rapturous laughter and applause from my peers. Five minutes into the film, however, the tracking went all wobbly so we ended up watching another Ken Loach film instead.
And then we were set another essay to write over the Easter break. Not that I particularly mind, it was just unexpected having not been set anything for the last couple of weeks.
Don’t be fooled by the whinging nature of this post - I am in a great mood because of the wonderful thing that I mentioned.But more of that to follow…
