Today wasn't the best of days. Frankly, it reminded me I am foreign, which I wasn't thrilled about. For starters, I [thought I] had a test today in my Language Methodologies Class at 5:30. Like any other day, I leave at 4:30, a whole hour before class, to begin my long, Mexican trek to the university as a foreigner with no car. I get to the place where I catch the bus and for some reason wait for a good twenty minutes before I realize that my bus, either Route 97 or Route 95--whichever comes first--hadn't passed by. I start to panic as this has never happened before. I knew I had to get to the Highway named Cuauhutémoc from which I walk to the university. Well, since my bus wasn't coming (So I figured) another bus caught my attention, which had Cuauhutémoc written on the front of it meaning that was one of its stops. I, like a fool, quickly climbed aboard this new Route 83, which is clearly not 95 or 97, and expected to go to my street and arrive for my test on time. Lord was I wrong! We went on the very outskirts of town, the parts where the houses are plastic and such, and I was not a bit happy. We even passed this place called El Bosque Mágico which means "The Magic Forest." God only knows what could lie within this "magic forest." I finally gave up and got off that crazy bus that seemed to be going to Guatemala for all I knew. I got a taxi and then remembered I didn't have any cash--simply forgot to go to the ATM...crap happens (Another good title for this particular post)!! Anyway, the taxi driver agreed to stop at an ATM machine and let me get some money. I don't want to know what any other alternatives would have been!
Thanks to the kind taxi driver, I arrived to the university at 6:00--the test started at 5:30. Luckily, it turns out there was no test at all. The glorious teacher decided she should review us first. Thank God for reviews...
