The first day of school.

This was a pretty interesting day.
I liked all of it. Down to my reheated macaroni and hamburger meat dinner. yum.
I caught the bus and made my first transfer. Where I transferred there was a woman. She got off at the same school stop as me. So I got to school early and bought me some pens and a notebook. I went to my first class at 9twenty five. I was sitting in the class for about 20 minutes before 9:25. At the time class was to start.. nothing was happening. No one walking in. just two other kids were sitting at computers when i got there. At 3 minutes past I asked one fellow if there was a class in here. Nope. Oh crap. Is this such and such a room I asked. He said yes. So i ran downstairs and asked the department where the class was. i was in the wrong building. I was really far away. Thank goodness for bikes. So i hauled butt to the building. I couldn't find the class. I asked for help and bam. I made it.. like just under 10 minutes late. Excellent and fun Photography I class. I learned soo much neat stuff about lighting, aperature, shutter and ISO speed.. but i'm sure you don't care.
So I learned in the class that there is a photo conference going on until about 6pm today at the Henry Gonzalez convention center. I have a 3 hour gap between classes (which will be used to do most of my homework). So i jumped on the bus down town and rode my bike about a mile to the center. It had just ended when i got there. everyone was leaving. The lady at the front said that they wouldn't let me in.. Well i snuck in anyway.. and i got away with it for about 20 minutes looking at beautifully manipulated photos that won awards. so then i decided to check out the products...this is when i heard in an abrupt and bone chilling voice of a small mexican woman, "Sir, I need to see your pass." "I'm sorry?" I asked. "I need to see your pass." I smiled and said, "no pass." "What?" she asked. "No pass." "Then you need to go out that way thru the exit sign." =) heh. so that wasn't too beneficial to ride all the way out there.
Before I left the campus I ate lunch. There was a young man walking with crutches missing a leg. When i grabbed my food, i looked around for a place to eat... no empty tables, so I asked this kid if I could eat with him. =) His name was Ricky from Monterrey Mexico. He was really hard to understand but we had a great convo. This kid has seen 3 people executed in Mexico because of the violence going on there. He likes it here in America. He was a real shy kid... kinda like me.. but i don't have a bad accent. Americans used to make fun of his accent. Assholes. I'd be kinda insecure too if people treated me like that cuz of my speech. Anyway, I spoke as much spanish as I could and he spoke as much english as he could... I often had to ask him to repeat himself cuz i wanted to understand him. Nice kid.
So then I had my next class. This teacher is funny and odd in a strange way. Her humor is kinda out there. But when you do something wrong.. She's a real bitch. She rides you and makes you feel stupid. jeez. I'm glad i didn't mess up on anything.
So I got out of class early. I looked at my bus schedule. Right when I looked at it, the bus was about a ¼ mile away. I ran to my bike (that i'm borrowing from my good friend walt). I hauled butt to the next stop that i might be able to catch the bus. As I was riding up a the street perpendicular to the road that the bus was traveling, sure enough, there it went passing by me.... i tried to wave it down but it was about 100 feet away. I pedaled my booty off chasing after the bus. Thank goodness the bus hit a stop light long enough for me to ride up to it and bang on the window.. =) yay.
I hopped on... and that same girl is on this bus again. going back to the spot we transferred at.. kinda odd. this is about 12 hours later.
Some other strange odds and ins happened. I don't think they are worth mentioning.. but they added to the spice of the day.
So then i come home and eat my macaroni! yum.
good day.
