One Of Those Days It ' s ninth period, my typing class. On some days I like this class, but not today. It is one of those days, the day I have to ride the bus. I dread riding the bus. It ' s not the bus itself I don ' t like but the actual getting on and rid- ing I detest. At about 3:10 the typewriters are almost all stopped, except for the few students who are staying after school and can afford a min- ute after the bell rings. At 3:14 all of the students are sitting on the edge of their seats. They are leaning toward the door. Then the bell rings. There is a mad rush of bodies trying to squeeze through the doorway at the same time. I get on the bus hoping that twenty people are absent so I will get home quicker. No such luck, a sea of people turns into a single file. They search f or a friend or an empty seat, whichever comes first. The bus arrives at Metro and a majority of the high schoolers get off. Then comes the army of ele- mentary students, armed with crayons, toys and whatever they happened to make for their mothers that day. As the bus leaves you hear shouts of, Turn the radio up, please, Quiet down! and Turn around and face the front. Finally around 4:00, after what seems like an eternity full of noise, accompanied by a head- ache, I get home. Thank good- ness I ' ll have something after school tomorrow!
