I came to school on that same, ordinary bus that always took me from the real world to my appointment with school and educational time slots, together with the costomary chill of a Berkeley morning and a friend or two I joined the growing crowdson the buisiness on the buisiness district streets and walked towards second period without a single thought as usual. I traced those steps from the bus stop to my desk from a mental blueprint I made as a sophomore . I had long since learned each step by heart. I knew how long the street light took to change, where the rain left shoe soaking puddles and just how long it took to walk % from the bus stop bench to English as usual. At the expected inconviniance of this mo rni ngs red light, after I passed the park and the city hall, after I shifted the weight of my books in my hand and methodically looked at my watch to fill the empty minute, after I indifferantly followed my Berkeley blueprint, I stopped and just stared. I stood through red, green and yellow events just gazing in momentary wonder at that collage of buildings.
