I had my first day of school today as well, and this year they decided to cut busing from our houses to "bus stops". As some of you know, I live in the "country", so no sidewalks or anything of the sort. My mum says she'll drive me up there in the mornings, because of the dark and fear i'll get myself hit (...probably on purpose...) yet I have to walk around a mile and a half in he afternoon :\
Good side: I can walk it in around 6-8 minutes, so I actually get home a few minutes earlier than I did before. The bad news is, if it snows the plow pushes the snow onto where I walk so I will actually be forced to walk in the middle of the road 😛
The funny thing is, the school just re-routed all their student parking and such to make it "safer" to walk into the school, and as one father put it to the face of the admin in charge "You're worried about my student being hit by one of your buses in 1 lane of traffic more than my son walking 5 miles on a road with a 55 MPH limit, when there's ice on the ground? What the fuck is wrong with you." - She stared at him blankly 🙂
