Perks of Being an Introvert

Ich komme zu Schule mit dem Bus!

Yes, I speak German...

sorta...

I'm in German 2...

It means I come to school by bus... 

I hate the school bus.  For the reasons following.

1) it's loud

2) it's crowded

3) I get motion sickness :/

But the bus is a mode of transportation.  And I don't live in an area where I can walk to school (more like I'm too lazy to)

The great thing is nobody bothers you on the school bus unless they want you to put the window down or up.  We can listen to music or (if you're one of those people who can read in a moving vehicle) we can read (lucky people)

I'm so sorry for that... I thought it would be funny.  

I actually meet great people on the bus too. (that's right Maddy ease right back into conversation... no one will suspect a thing)

The person that I sit next to on the bus right now is a great person and she's also an extrovert so I know a lot about her.  Like that she's an amazing singer.  Legit this girl sang on the bus and everyone got quiet for her.

I normally become friends with people on my bus because I try to get my mind off the fact that I can't sit still on the bus (again just a me problem) but also because people talk a lot on the bus.  It's funny to say that I'm a great listener but it's true most introverts are better at listening to other people talk than joining in on the conversation.

Another thing that I now realize I hate/love on the bus is the conversations that people have.

STORY TIME!

So in the beginning of the year, some freshman (or possibly just complete idiots) sat behind me and decided they were the smartest people on the bus.  They openly talked about how smart their ideas were and also talked loud enough for everyone around them to listen to their brilliance.  Please note my sarcasm there.

One of their great ideas was against terrorists.  First off they blamed all Arabians and Muslims, which is a false stereotype given by the public.  They're not all bad, some people just hate America, a lot.  Then they said to stop terrorist attacks we need to build a wall around the nation... *slow clap*

Because the Chinese showed us walls work against our enemy's.  

They then continued to say that if they saw a terrorist come to attack them they would shoot them on site.  Now me being the sarcastic smart-Alec that I am immediately thought

"Oh, so you're an asset to our nation?  You're targeted by people who hate America?" 

I sometimes have to stop myself from laughing on the bus.

But seriously I get great jokes out of just being nosy on the bus.  The best thing to do is pretend you are listening to music and just listen to the conversations around you.  It's really funny.
