Flippin Friday

So all this drama and bullshit with my classes is worked out. I started to read Leo Africanus by Maalouf and I reallly like it.

So yesterday there was a huge amount of drama with getting back to my dorm. So I'll start from the beginning. . .
So me and some friends were going to go eat at a steakhouse [which by the way had amazing food] but we had to walk there. So we first walked like 5 blocks the wrong way, so we ended up having to walk 15 blocks the other way to get there. Needless to say we were hungry tired and pissed. So when we get there it's not like the steakhouse we imagined. It was a fucking bar with smoke EVERYWHERE and people who looked like they lived on the street corner. So we got our food, and let me say the waitress looked like a hooker and gave horrible service; like we had to call her over anytime we needed something which shouldn't happen, and finished eating. By then it was dark outside, and about 10:00. We aren't around any bus stops, so we call the security escort service which is supposed to run from 5PM to 7AM. The first time we call the service the operator first asks for the address of where we are, but then proceeds to tell us the service doesn't run until 2AM. So we ask "what are we supposed to do? wait here until 2AM?" and the operator says "I guess so." So then another person calls back and asks the same and the same response is given. So when I call I ask what we are supposed to do. By then we had begun to walk towards the campus. While walking back to the campus I was basically arguing with another operator about how we all were supposed to get home. Another girl who was alone asked if she could walk with our group just to be safe and we said it was fine if she wanted to. We then told her about what had been happening and she called the service and they told her that they were running. Another girl in the group's mom called as well and the same operator I had talked to told her that if we had said that we wanted to get picked up and taken to a bus station that would have been alright, but yet when I talked to her and asked her that she said the service didn't run until 2AM. So there we were walking in the at 10+ at night in a city that is not particularly safe. When we did get to a campus connector bus stop we waited 15 minutes for the bus that was supposed to run every 10 minutes and when the first bus got there the driver said that she wasn't going back to the part of the campus we live on and promptly changed her route as she pulled away from the stop. The next bus came 15 minutes later and instead of going straight back to the other campus, stopped in front of the student commons and stayed there for about 10 minutes and picked up 10 more people before leaving. By the time we got back to the campus it had been over an hour more than what it should have taken us.

Story over.
Enough ranting.
