Megabus

So today I am in Minnesota, officially. I didn't think I would make any blog posts once I got here, and I probably won't but since I am here for a month this time I am hoping that I will not totally neglect my writing.

Yesterday I spent all day on a bus. We were lucky and got megabus both times. Megabus's have outlets and WiFi which is pretty freaking awesome considering we were on a bus for like 16 hours. You know, after about 14 hours when things were finally starting to wrap up my boyfriends dad calls him saying that there is a storm in Minneapolis and that some trees have been toppled, some tornadoes could be touching down. No big deal, after all, we're in a big bus and you know.. we're on the second floor so we'd be totally fine, right? WRONG. So it started getting dark and then there were these big dramatic lightning flashes in the distance and then the sky got all scary looking and then it started pouring like crazy and the sky was turning from yellow to black in flashes of 10 second intervals. It was like a child playing with a light switch.

I was pretty scared of the storm, so I huddled up next to my boyfriend and hid my face so I didn't have to worry about our bus driving into a tree or off a bridge. and he patted me and comforted me My boyfriend got really excited because for once we were fitting into our gender roles.

My sleep last night was kind of awful. Nevertheless though, I couldn't wake up. I know I was in this weird, deep yet fitful sleep. I didn't enjoy it too much.

Otherwise, I've been hanging out with my friends and catching up on life. For now I'm just going to try to enjoy my life. Maybe tomorrow I will update further.
