Rainy Days

I'm sure it's not just me who is sick of all this rain! Yesterday my room mate and I decided to try and catch a bus to take us to Target so we could do some shopping that needed to be done. This was our first attempt of getting on a bus to take us outside the campus besides during welcome week when we were being guided around. So we sat outside Lafollette on the bus benches waiting. We knew a bus came by every 10-15 minutes so when it started to sprinkle we told ourselves we would wait it out. Other people were around waiting for the same bus so we had no doubts that the bus would come very soon. We were waiting about 10 minutes when it started to rain harder and we started to question the idea of a bus coming our way. After all, it was a Saturday and maybe the buses only ran on week days? The people around us assured us that a bus going to the mall or Wall-Mart would be around any minute but my room mate decided to look up the schedule on her phone anyways. While she was doing that I saw a Wal-mart bus coming from the opposite side of the road and I decided to run after it to the bus stop on the other side of the road to ask about the schedule. Turns out the buses stop running at exactly 6: 23 P.M. on Saturdays. So if anyone wants to make a run to a store on saturdays, do it in the early afternoon. Lesson's Learned.
