Today has been interesting. I woke up at 5am (30 minutes before my alarm to turn on my hot water heater) to a something that sounded like a dying whale. I thought it was probably Maya, the dog downstairs, but the longer I listened, the less it sounded like a dog. I got up, saw the maid sleeping on pillows in the computer area outside my door, turned on my water heater, and laid back down until 6:50am. I decided I wasn't taking a shower because of how annoyed the wake-up was (& I was hoping to be all cheery and in a good mood today for various reasons). The noise continued until I left the apartment at 7:30. When I got outside, the noise was non-existent. I have no idea where it was coming from or what was producing it.
I took the Ecovia, had a man stand his front side to my back side, although there was plenty of room for that contact to NOT be happening. I managed to wiggle away and be slightly more confortable. The next guy only insisted on keeping his hand on the bar touching mine. I got to Rio Cocoa, walked to the Green Bus station, found a seat by myself, and got to ride to Cumbaya in a seat by myself. I let the lady in sitting in front of me out in the aisle, we walked to the front with all the other people, and got off the bus. Most of the people walked to the back of the bus after they exited, but the lady that sat in front of me, and 2 other people stayed at the front. A silver chevy slowed down to let us cross the road in the crosswalk, and the lady (late 30's) started to walk, but the car in the other lane wasn't stopping. I reached out, but I was just too far to have grabbed her. I started to say watch out at the same time I stuck my arm out, but then the white chevy spark hit her. The front left bumper of the chevy hit her leg and hip area. She spun in a circle, and then rolled onto the ground. I froze. I felt the blood drain from my face. I started towards her, all of 7 feet away, and the guy behind me ran to help her up. The other girl standing by me was also in massive shock. The car that slowed to let us pass stopped and asked if she was okay. I was impressed that she got up. The nice student who helped her, and stood with her. We saw a police truck take off after the car, but the car was going so fast, I'd be surprised if they got the person.
I was so proud of myself to be ableto get to Evolution of Jazz on time, but it all didn't matter at that point. I got there and told Deanna the story, and it was all of 8:35am.
Not that this has more importance, but it does add to the day thus far. I am 1 of 6 students in my Spanish class. The only other 2 people that showed up today were the 2 people that I can't stand. I didn't listen to half of what went on, and had issues on everything I said because I was so annoyed.
I had lunch with Deanna, and who else was in the same place that we went? None other than 1 of the 2 people from my Spanish class that I complained about. Deanna has been jittery all day because she is flying to Peru tomorrow (at least that's what we decided the cause was). She almost toppled over when we were getting up to leave the sandwich place because of her bag. After laughing at her, I picked my bag up and caught the picture on the wall. It bobbled, but didn't fall, thankfully. It was a huge frammed piece, probably 8 feet by 4 feet.
Now, it's 2:02pm. I think I'm going bowling tonight with the same group as my bowling usually has. Then, Dad gets in here tonight around 11.
