my oh my..

So the bus system in Juneau is pretty awful. Maybe it has something to do with all of the construction around Auke Bay, but my bus was over 10 minutes late today. This didn't really bother me though, I actually enjoy riding the bus, as long as I'm not in a time crunch. It's highly inconvenient for me to wait for a bus that's takes only 15 minutes to get me to my destination and even if I'm just running a quick errand I still have to wait an hour for the bus to return. However, Tuesdays are usually my bus riding days. I don't have class until 3pm and so I have all morning to go to Fred Meyer's and buy groceries. Which is usually what I do on Tuesday mornings. Sometimes I bring homework to read on the bus, other times I just sit and listen to music and watch people. That's the best thing about riding the bus, you can just sit and watch people. Normally the old men are really polite and allow me to enter on to the bus first, there's almost always an annoying teenage girl who's talking loudly on the phone, I use to see tons of tourists but now they're slowly dwindling away. The bus kind of makes me feel like I'm in a big city, even though Juneau is smaller than Portland, ME. But either way, I like riding the bus.


I am officially registered for classes today. I'm taking 19 credits and I'm already feeling stressed about it. I needed the registrars approval in order to register for classes because I'm taking more than 18 credits. I'm worried I'll have to drop my Personality Theories Psychology course, I'm going to check in with UMF to see if they'll transfer the credits first though, if they don't, I'll most likely drop it. Here's the list of classes I'm taking next semester!
