Dumb and Dumber


This week school started, I really like my classes! I am the only U.S. student in my class so it's pretty interesting to hear about everyone else's background. My class is 3 days a week for five weeks, then I start again with a different class but same teacher and classmates. So far I really like the people, they were all shocked when I told them I have 3 sisters because most of them didn't have any siblings.

Anyway, the other day Addy and I had to go into town to go to the bank. Well, we got lost and by the time we found the bank it was closed. So we decided to go buy an alarm clock instead. We found the alarm clock way fast but then stood in line for an hour to buy it! By this point we we're pretty ornery and just wanted to go home. We haven't had much luck for catching the bus and usually end up walking but today we refused to walk because we were so tired. Right when we turned the corner we saw the bus and we were so excited! We got on and assumed this bus would take us to the University... Well none of the stops looked familiar and we were a little bit confused. We were so concerned with where this bus was taking us turns out we missed our stop. We didn't think it was a big deal and we thought we would just go for another round. Pretty soon everyone else is gone and we are the only ones on the bus. Then the bus driver just pulls over and turns the bus off!! What the crap who does that?? So far, everyone we have talked to has spoken english, but just our luck this guy only knew Swedish. So he is talking to us waving his arms in the air, and Addy just keeps saying, "University" real slow hoping he will understand it, meanwhile I'm shaking my head saying "No More?" Trying to figure out if his shift is over or something. No luck. All the sudden he just turns around and sits down in the front of the bus and turns on the radio. P.S. we are so far away from campus, pretty sure we were in another town. None of it looked familiar whatsoever. So we figured we should start the trek back. We stand up and the bus driver tells us to sit down. ( At least, I think that's what he said.. ) No joke, he literallly sat there and took his half hour lunch break. With us in the bus. On the side of the freaking road. For 30 minutes. At first, we thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing, but then we were like ok, we're ready to go home. Thirty minutes later, he started the bus up again and began the route. Haha it was quite the adventure. Needless to say, now we ask each bus driver, "University?" and wait for the nod before we board the bus.
