Stop motion

Unaware of my upcoming future, I sat patiently in the back like always, staring out the window with a blank face. I watched the redwoods and buildings blur by, all too familiar with the sight. After a half hour of waiting, the bus finally came to a stop and opened its doors. I stood up, grabbed my backpack, and headed out, somewhat sentimental about the day. This is the last class, huh. I don't know if I should feel excited or sad about it. The past four…

It is June 27, 2014, and I am sitting on a coach bus that is driving me to Geneva, New York. I have never heard of this place, I do not know what to expect for the next two weeks, and I barely know anyone on this bus. In addition, it is very cold. The people in the back are too loud and excited this early in the morning. On top of that, I barely ate breakfast. With that said, the scholars kids might have similar feelings as I had my first time being away from home for so long, therefore it will…

The Memorial Union Bus Terminal From A Social Context Approach During these eleven weeks in LDA 01, we have discussed several approaches to the discipline of environmental design. Some, but not all of these approaches are the social context, ecological, participatory, artistic, and the cultural competency approach. For this project in specific, I decided to analyze a site using the social context approach. For me, this approach is the most interesting and crucial when planning a project. The…

I moved forward in my seat to look outside the window of the school bus. The trip to Harlem Valley, NY to visit the McEnroe farm was entertaining. Nevertheless, two hours of card games, lots of singing, and a ton of laughing still had me looking at my watch every twenty minutes. Out of all the trips this June, the McEnroe farm was the one that I was looking forward to the most. Five hours, in total, worth of driving and waiting wouldn't lead us to somewhere I would be bored at. It would be worth…

provided a nice townhouse for us. Imagine eight children endeavoring to get yare for their first day of school in Virginia, on a Sunday. It was one of the most frustrating days in my life, we aren’t that family that has the whole getting to the bus stop on time, and being used to peregrinating with the “yellow school bus” to school. So the night afore we had to pack our book bags and pick out habiliments, get yare with lunch and breakfast all that jazz. Mind you, I have never caught the “yellow…

Concussion awareness is so important when it comes to not having a really safe helmet it could be the one thing keeping you safe from a concussion. Making sure you are wearing good and safe helmet is so crucial, it could be the determining factor between having a concussion or just a small bump. When it comes to actually finding a good helmet don't just trust a helmet if it´s a well known brand.

“Once Evan’s side finds out about him they’ll stop at nothing to get their hands on him. You’ll never be able to stop the millions of demons out there. You couldn’t even stop this bag-of-shit from taking advantage of you.” Evan brandished Katelyn his award-winning-smile as if to say, Fuck You! “Once Satan’s realm knows about Liam it’s all over, which is probably…

Ivan doesn't hesitate to pray to God and ask for insight. Ivan stays strong with determination. The guards who work in the jail will stop at nothing to break the man named Ivan Sokolov. They spit on him, beat him, and swear and curse at Ivan trying to turn Ivan into worthless man meant for nothing. Ivan doesn't get mad or angry. He fights through the grime. In prison through thirty years…

Love Halloween! As we head down the bus stop, Sara was there dressed as a witch. Two feet next to her was a ghost dressed person. After five minutes, the ghost dressed head to me. I thought he was about to kill me. The ghost asked me ‘’how are you?’’ I answered ‘’ I’m fine’’…

than maturity and the adult world, it is about valuing education. When I was in high school, it was not a problem to commute, considering that it was only seven minutes away. The only problem that I have to face was bus’ schedule and the crowded bus stop, which made most of the students uncomfortable once we all stepped inside the bus. Being on a crowded bus and having to deal with it for almost three years, made me feel lazy to go to school. It was all luck and a huge boost when my dad bought…
