Yeah, I thought just GOING to school (regardless of how you get there) was
punishment enough for even the worst of sins. -Dave

It always felt like punishment.

I didn't really have a problem riding the bus. One of the most
gratifying experiences I had when riding was beating the crap out of an
8th grader who kept throwing things at me. I just decided to get off
at his bus stop instead of mine the day we had a substitute driver.

Of course, it wasn't a fair fight (I was a senior in high school), but
only an idiot would pick on a person substantially bigger than them.

Well... the big problem with the bus for high school was that I had to
get up early to catch the bus only to arrive at school almost an hour
early. Of course since I was going to be stuck there, I often did home
work at school at that time.... of course anything after scholl meant
taking the activity bus... which always ran late and ran an assbackwards
route that put the majority of those riding the bus getting the grand
tour as their (and my) stops were at the end of the route. I think my
senior year they reversed it or added a second bus or something so it
wasn't as bad.

Well, the usual tortures from other students were bad enough, but the
other issue was that the bus was just too small. If you were on
one of the later stops (as I was), you'd be compelled to sit with not
quite half your ass on a seat which already held two other students
(bus was meant to have 3 on one side and two on the other, and this
was the 2 side).

I think you meant to write "too short"...

Sorry, couldn't resist... ;-)
