Objective: to get from school to church, thus saving $2 on bus fare by getting a ride from my dad, who had a meeting.
Plan: find a bus that leaves as close after 9 as possible (as to not leave class too early and not arrive at church too late).
Rout: catch the 6 on Columbia.
What really happened: got out of class an hour early. missed the closest bus 6 and had to wait 11 minutes. got on the bus and asked for fareless square. drove one block and around a corner and heard over the loudspeaker "last stop fareless square, you have to get off miss". stepped off the bus, confused. walked in the direction assumed to be toward 4th ave. ended up on 2nd ave. started laughing and feeling a totally new sensation of being lost in my own town. then ended up on madison. eventually found a stop for the 8, 9 and 10. the 9 pulls up. step on the 9 and the driver says, "this bus only goes to union station". again, confused. backed off the bus. next bus pulls up with a sign reading "downtown only". ignored it. it stops, doors open and the driver says, "this is the 8". uncertain - "how far do you go?" "to Jubitz". relieved yet skeptical. arrived at church all total an hour and a half later.
