The Irony of It All

I was getting off of the bus today, and Jeff, the bus driver, says that I won't be able to get off on the side of the highway I get off right now, due to some kid who almost got hit here a couple of days ago. I get off on the ocean side of the highway and I cross, but apparently I can't anymore. For fuck's sake, in 6 months I'll be able to vote, but I won't be able to cross the highway by myself after school. It's not like there are elementary school students who take my bus, it's about 15 high school kids. Why should I have to sit on the bus for an extra 45 minutes when I am perfectly capable of crossing the highway? Some idiot made a stupid mistake, and here everyone else is paying for it. I can't stand it. Sure they're trying to protect us, but maybe they should back off a bit. They're like parents, and they want to protect us from everything, but sometimes you just have to let them go, and let them learn from their mistakes, and other people's mistakes. It's nuts.

On the lighter side of things, I played bass guitar today. Me and Steve were jamming in the band room during C block. I had alot of fun. I like bass guitar better than guitar, just because I don't like strumming, and it's just...beefier. :)Mmmmm so great.

It was Ms.Bodnar's last day as our student teacher today. We had a suprise party for her. We got her a cake and flowers and yeah, I'm going to miss her. She's one of my favourite student teachers yet.
