If you mention the word "bus", I'll have to slap you till your face is blue. I spent somewhere around 10-11 hours on one yesterday. It was the first Eskimo trip (Yay!) so I had to get up early, then we drove to the bus stop and sooch. It was late of course, so we just kinda sat there for a while. Finally we got on, I was able to get a seat next to Colleen and we left. The movie was Angels in the Outfeild. Ugh, not to mention Matt, the leader of the druggies, kept walking around begging for money to get high. And traffic was a b****, it took us approx. two and a half hours to get to Winter Park. They also changed the place where all the buses park, and the driver got lost trying to find it, then we had to walk a very long ways, I don't think anyone was happy with that at all. Finally, after first waiting for Jared and then for my sister, and a very long line. The snow on the other hand was really pretty good, they had just gotten 5.5 inches, veddy nice. Since we got up there so late tho, we had about an hour before we had to go to lunch at the base, so combined with lift lines, that meant maybe 3 runs? While at lunch I ran into Kevin Bodkin, we talked about school for a while, then he had to go. I got a voicemail informing me that there had been an avalance!! God, of all days. Although then, no one really quite understood the turmoil that it would bring later. As we left to go to lessons or whatever, I reached across the table and grabbed my water bottle, but the little kid it was next to was all "Umm....that's my water?" So I was sorta confused, thinking where the heck is mine?? I found it, felt like a dumbass, and then we left. Of course, our instructor was Pink. Not the actual one, but the crazy wannabe. She seriously is nuts. Halfway down the first run, our group got separated because as Mitch later put it she "took off like a bitch." (Lmao, I thought that was funny). So Jared and I were with the other instructor. Near the end the a-holes from our el buso found us, Hayden started talking to me, but thank god he was the only one. He's an ok guy sometimes, he's funny, and I'm not gonna say he's ugly, but he can be a jerk too, don't get me wrong. So Jared and I went down, found Mitch, I bought a brownie, and we walked the very long way back to the bus. We sat there for a while, then the most irritating thing that whole trip happened: Jared's uncle came and took him off the bus so he didn't have to ride back. Oh I was so mad! So we sat there for an hour and finally left. Mitch and I conversed for prolly about half the way through by texting, even tho we sat three rows apart because everyone was being sooo loud. The trip back was nothing short of hell. Matt and Hayden and other kids were being really annoying, Colleen kept friggin groping my face and and just annoying me, lol. She would not let me sleep at all! My phone died around 8:30, so I couldn't talk to anyone that way, and just agh!! We were gonna stop some place in Silverthorne to eat, but Mike wouldn't let us, so then I had to listen to everyone whine about that too. It was torture. By the time we got off of the bus, it was ten till eleven!!!!! 8 hours on that bus just coming home! Uggggh I'm gonna stab Jared. When I finally got home, I ate some spaghetti, because my parents were shocked they couldn't order a pizza that time at night...O_O. I just fell asleep and didn't wake up until twelve this afternoon. And that was my ordeal, only didn't feel like reliving it and telling you all of the details that occured between 3 and 11 PM. So ttyl! Bye
