Me vs. The Bus, part 2

Missing the first bus this morning presented a minor temptation. I could probably justify skipping one class and sparing Karen the inconvenience of driving me to campus, but after walking about half a block home I realized I could still make it to the transit center if I ran a stretch of the way. So I took off. And made it in time to catch the second bus.

And you know what? Dr. Findley announced a bonus assignment that is due right after spring break, and he noted that those who took spring break early are missing out. (This comes from a professor who doesn't believe in extra credit, so that's saying something.) I’ve missed maybe 5 points overall on my homework assignments, but the bonus is worth 20, so I can bring my homework score above 100%, which may make up for whatever I’m lacking in my test scores by the end of the semester.

Take that, bus.

Me vs. The Bus, part 1 was a few years ago when my car slid on an icy road in Provo and put me a little too far out on the main street. A bus drove by and swiped off my front license plate, sending it through the air and landing it in the gutter about 15 or 20 yards away.
