The wheels on the bus

 take me to school

(you have to say that in tune with the title)

actually you have to sing it.

it's better that way.

I discovered something fantastic.

there is a bus that picks up only a block away from my house

and drives to my side of campus.

Yes, I pay a pound 60 to take a bus from one side of campus

to the other side.

there are approximately three stops between my house, and my stop.

Uni West Entrance, Paddling Pool, The Tennis Centre,

then Uni South Entrance (where I get off).

Those are the stops.

I get a little embarrassed when I clearly have been waiting for the bus

(time that i could have spent walking to my side of campus)

then get off three stops later..

aka 20 seconds later.

I feel those British eyes on me as I get on,

then immediately off the bus.

Judging me and my youthful legs that I should use

to walk the fifteen minutes from my house to campus.

But you know what?

I am from LA

and

nobody walks in LA..EH!

(you know that song?? nobody walks in la, walking in la..) 

started and ended in song.

that's how you do it.
a blog post that starts and ends in song that is..

during winter..before the discovery of the magical bus..and yes, that is a leaf in my hand..
