No City Buses for Me!

4/15/2012

Sunday.

Today was a lot not too eventful. I wouldn’t even really call it our last day in the outback because we left so early. We got up around 6-6:30, ate some toast for breakfast. We then had to pack up our stuff and clean up our area. We then all got on the bus and headed back toward civilization. Matt and Nick seemed pretty disappointed that we were leaving. They got to have city friends for 2 days and then we just left them. Sorry boys.

We then proceeded to drive the billion hours back to the city, taking breaks for morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea. For lunch we stopped at a Pizza Hut and basically took over the restaurant. We ate our fill and carried on.

I was telling Mackenzie (my bus buddy this time around) how I was not looking forward to the fact that the bus would drive past where I live to get to school, and then I would have to take 2 city busses to get back home. After not showering for a while and being covered in red dirt, I was not keen to hop on a city bus (plus on a Sunday there would be barely any to take), and ride home.

Just after I finished whinging about this ('whinging' means 'complaining' in Aussie), the bus driver announced that he was going to make a stop at the intersection of Burwood and Parramatta. A.k.a. about a 3 minute walk from my house! Hazaah! This added about an extra hour and a half to my night!

We got home and all took our turns showering and getting out laundry. I still had some homework to do so I got crackin’ on some reading and answering some of my homework questions. Then went to bed much earlier thanks to that brief stop over on Parramatta!
