[harrynightingales]

holy shamole folks, my day was interesting long storyshort: -my university is on a mountain -its been snowing like crazy this weekend, causing some cancellations, but not this morning, nope. so off to work i go. -get off work at 4:30. almost immediately get stranded on the bus, because two earlier buses got stuck on the road because of snow -bus very very slowly makes up an alternate route, gets us to a train station -while on the bus, i see online that transit company announces most buses are no longer servicing the university, which means huge amounts of people are stranded -get on the train fine, get to the bus stop, wait in the snow for only 20 minutes or so, constantly checking public transit website, twitter, and university site. get on bus, with no idea what kind of delays their might be -very slowly drive along highway, bus driver tells us it could take 1-2 hours (normally takes 20 minutes) -make it to bus station in only 35 minites or so, where my mom was there to pick me up. -apparently right after i was there, an accident happened on the freeway, absolutely gutting it in already horrific conditions so basically it was an adrenaline-filled afternoon, because at any point the vehicles i was on could have gotten stuck and i would have had to walk for god knows how long
