Current music:Skytrain running back and forth

49, 84, 99, NONE
    I tried to go to school today but Translink had other plans. I usually take the Skytrain to Broadway then to VCC-Clark and catch the 84 but skytrain was running slow today so I decided to play it safe and catch the 49 from Metrotown which goes directly to UBC (actually takes a bit longer than plan A!). I got there for the bus...didn't come...okay, I thought "Well, maybe it was early, i'll just catch the next one that comes in 10 minutes." Nope, that bus didn't come. I was there for 30min and only one bus came. It was a 49 but it stopped at Langara. I wish, I wish that Translink had an able warning system or an up-to-date delay/cancellation notice. I checked the web before I left. Moral of the story, Translink CEO's get paid waaaay too much. Oh, and never plan ahead or play it safe. (Sounds like a recipe for unplanned pregnancies).


   I ended up going to UBC anyways to sign up for a presentation, to drop of library books and to buy my texts. $300 later.

   I have a plan. A plan to finish my essays by the end of the month. I want to finish essay 1 by end of next week. Essays 2 and three by the end of the month. Huzzah. This won't happen but it MUST. These are last semester papers by the way. I just couldn't do them last month with a the 'stuff' that was going on.

I'm right there with ya. Only not literally because I was at Royal Oak for 40 minutes in the pouring rain waiting for a bus that's supposed to run every 15 and being told when two showed up that "It's just weather and bad traffic. We're only a little behind." *sigh* Oh, and listening to the woman behind me in the what little line there was (stupid people not knowing how to queue, grumblemumble...) call Translink about 4 times demanding to know WHERE her bus was and WHY wasn't it here and this was just SO inconvenient!
