Its winter now and in Canada, it really is WINTER--right now it's like -26 degrees celsius, not counting the wind chill. " So of course, anyone would hate to stand out in that weather at 8:20 waiting for a bus that is half an hour late. Yesterday, our bus didn't come until around 8:55 (and school starts at 8:53). When it finally gets here, everyone at our bus stop is feeling pretty pissed. The reason why it's late: it's going at about 20km/h (compared to the 50 it's supposed to be going). So we get on. To go to our school, we have to go up a hill. Well, when we got to this hill, everyone on the bus started laughing as our bus slowly inched its way up the hill (it was going about 5km/h ). But then halfway up the hill, the bus stops and cannot go any further. So we're stuck there in the middle of the hill with cars waiting behind us and we're stopped for a few seconds. Then we feel the bus slowly sliding backwards. It was scary, yet funny. Finally, our bus driver gets the bus up the hill and we're almost at school. " Today, we got another bus thankfully (since it was even COLDER this morning) since the other one broke down (no surprise there).

Oh my gawsh...maybe they should have that busdriver retire lol. I can imagine myself freaking out if my bus started rolling down a hill. I get scared even if a tiny old car rolls backwards, let alone a bus. Like on rollercoasters when they've going up hill before a huge drop...I'm always terrified the chains will break and all the cars will go sliding down the high lift. But I'm getting off-subject here So...glad you got that new bus!
