Buses and Being in Guelph
went home wednesday afternoon..tried studying at home for a while when i was like "i'm getting nothing done..wish i were in waterloo at the library"..so i thought to myself, wait, there's a perfectly good university in this city..
and so i decided to try studying at the unversity of guelph..was gonna drive when i realized, like waterloo..guelph has no parking..so i decided to take the good old bus which i hadn't taken for a good 7 months..
as always, the bus from my house was late..but as i got on, asked for a transfer, everything came back to me..the familiar route and everything..i noticed some of the "regulars" who used to take the bus back in the day when i would take the bus to school everyday..it was like old times again..so i started reading some of the ads on the side of the bus..very different from what they used to be..then read the prices and boy have those risen..
so as the bus stopped downtown in the square for transferring, i realized i didn't know where the U of G bus stopped..seeing as the square had four corners, and i knew it wasn't at 2 of the corners, so i took a guess and by my luck, i was wrong..so then after waiting for all the traffic to stop, i crossed the street and waited for the U of G express bus..as i got on the bus, the bus driver didn't even check tickets or transfers (probably knowing anyone getting on the bus would be a U of G student)
so i got on and rode the bus to the university..now the U of G is one of the most confusing campus's ever..main city streets run through it while every other building is not a university building..so i was confused at where to get off first..so i just sat there til i got to a familar building which ended up being the Univeristy Centre also known as the UC as opposed to my oh so familiar SLC..so i got off and followed directions from a friend to get to the library..which is where i am currently situated typing this and not studying..
so besides all the blabbing, the moral of my story..as nice and comforting of a feeling it was knowing not everything had changed in my hometown of guelph..i really like having a second home in waterloo..and although this whole bus taking trip was quite a memorable experience, i'm still not planning to use guelph's public transportation to it's fullest..
