Chapter 14: A place for romance

I am sitting in yet another bus today. It's only been a week since I got here...but that didn't stop me from taking up to four buses per day everyday. I keep running to the market, which-like everything else, I could possibly need is located far away. My so called

office( a family desk of 10 for me and my classmates), the campus, and the city center.

I sat in the lower deck- which was filled with the towns seniors aged 70 and more, totally my age group. It is only 30 minutes of new scenery's later that I realize that the bus was headed in the wrong direction...and I spent another 30 minutes hesitating weather I should get off the bus or not.

So as you might guess, I am now standing by the bus station with a strange looking inn behind me.

There should be a bus coming now...and I am starting to panic...cause the bus app said something and google map said another!

Thank God google map was the right one though and I see the bus comin...

I climbed up stairs this time cause there was some one sitting at the back downstairs. I am getting off at the last station as well so getting off should be no problem.

Lol. I just saw 23 birds social distancing on the roof of a chapel and looking towards the city.

More people are getting on the bus now...but I've secured the very top and the very back spot so we can keep talking.

I would rather narrate my-not-so-fantastic story to ya than think of how I wasted two hours of my life by being an idiot and getting on the wrong bus.

Sure I've done it a million times before...but...I had ntn to do then but got a looooooot to do now.

Every teacher kept mentioning how we were masters students now and that we gotta learn 3 or 4 new softwares to be able to do the next assignments 2 weeks later. What's more...we now can't copy anything off the internet. We will basically get expelled for that! They are that serious! All my undergrad class would have been expelled had they gone to this school!

I only got 3 courses but my hands are super full!

But hey! look at that! I found the stadium where the club that makes the city famous trains in!

There's a field of flowers right at the round about as well! How cute!

Everything is so cute and romantic here. The houses are all 2 stories and built to look very very homely...with a 16th century victorian style. They're made of red bricks and had fire places and all.

The streets are narrow and clean. It's facinating to watch one of these double deck buese take a turn. It's like an oversized dog expertedly going through the lil pet door on the big door.

Aha! There's a railway here! I saw the train as well! I will definately comeback here again...when my rogue wolf syndrome kicks in someday as I know it will! The people are so polite and nice. They say 'thank you' and 'please' all the time.

It's such a romantic place!

I can't wait untill it is christmas...till there are lights and decorations and christmas songs on the streets. I wanna be out walking on these clean, narrow, cute streets....with my cute and occasionally hot 6 ft 2 of a boy...giving me his too-long- of a coat that will be too long for me...and we'll be both laughing at the sight. Then he would kiss me on the forehead for the first time and I would hug him for the back for the first time...and he would blush and I would blush and we will stand there awkwardly for a minute before rumbling something about having to go home and we would take off in the opposite direction.

Lol. I am such an idiot aren't I?

For the anti-attachment and ice-cold of a heart that I've got...My mind is outrageously romantic!

But what can I possibly think of now? In the right bus that I took back from the wrong way home?

It would rather be this. As the sun set and the scenery set the mood anyway.

It's already October 10. I don't think any romantic christmas would happen for me this year.

In fact, I don't think anything would happen this coming four years. You see...although it is a very romantic place...and a romantic season, with halloween and christmas comin up, for me, it is not a season of romance in life.

I got my hands full.

I gotta stand my ground in school...I gotta code and write literature reviews, and do conferences and stuff. It is all brand new to me. I had never been this much overwhelmed and dumbfounded by school up untill now. I grew up with a silver spoon of modules given by teachers in my head.

But they don't give them no more in post grad.

I am almost reaching my destination. There's a loooong beach here....on the way to campus. People are out there, talking a walk and walking their dogs and having steak. It's right infront of the playground as well! Lovely, isn't it?

I will be bicking my way to my spot on the office family desk down this very beach very soon.

It was actually recommened by my mentors as well.

I will introduce my classmates to you soon.

But the bus had found its way to campus....so I gotta go...

Maybe next time!

Bye!

***

Me again!

Taking another bus from campus to home!

Funny that things came to a complete circle today. I am in the same bus and same driver that took me to the city center, and I found the same passanger that was in the bus when I got in.

life is funny.

Today was your day I guess.

For if not for all the wrong buses I had taken today, this chapter wouldn't exist.
