Last night around 4:30 it started snowing here in the lovely Twin Cities. I left work and got to the bus stop around 4:45 to wait for the bus. I waited.....and waited....and waited.... No 144s in sight. Actually, I probably only saw about 3 city buses total for an hour. I saw several Campus Connectors, which wouldn't help me out at all. Yep, I waited for over an hour. During that time, 4 route 144 buses should have gone by. One finally came at about 6 pm. Was it an extra long one? Nope, just your standard size. But thankfully the bus driver let us all on and people were standing illegally in front of the yellow line and even on the stairs leading to the door. I was practically stradling some guys leg with my backpack slung around the front of my body to make more room for people. It was crazy.
I finally got home at 7 pm. So it took 2 hours to get home in the snow last night.
Today, I drove and parked on Como and hopped on a different bus. I'll be staying on campus later tonight to take my last final and then celebrate the end of the semester at my friend Sharrie's house. So hopefully I'll miss the crazy rush hour snow storm fiasco if it snows again tonight.
I still love Minnesota. But I would love to have those 2 hours back.
