dozing



i was just hanging out on the subway today and suddenly i realized i was at north station. ahhhhhh! i was supposed to get off at haymarket, one stop before north station and i completely missed it. who knows what i was doing?! (probably thinking/sleeping/people watching/day dreaming - but most likely dozing off because out of the last 24 hours i had been in the city for 18 of them.) i obviously wasn't paying attention to where i was because i totally forgot to get off the subway. i was already cutting it close to catch the bus home and now i was really pushing it. i had seven minutes before the bus was scheduled to leave, so i ran over to the other side of the tracks to take the subway back to haymarket. i sat on a bench and counted down the minutes before my bus left and kept telling myself i could probably still make it if the subway came right NOW until my time ran out and i was still sitting on the bench... at the wrong station... not on the bus homeward bound. another bus wouldn't come for a whole hour! luckily jeremy got done with classes early and was just hanging out at home. i called up the cute boy, told him i was a space face, and asked if he would be so kind as to pick me up from the subway. he laughed and agreed, so i hopped on the other side of the tracks again and headed north until i reached the station where jeremy was meeting me. although i love it, sometimes this city just wears me out.

That is awesome! You probably could have made it on time if you would have ran over there, they are surprisingly close. I love this story!
