Look twice before crossing the street

I can really feel summer coming now. It's been extremely hot lately, and it feels like I'm cooking in a sauna whenever I'm outside. At least the a/c's on in the house now, so it's not as bad. Anyway, I went to music late as usual, but this time, it was because I was delivering some ice cream grams for GST. I should've stayed out for longer... we were playing these weird and boring pieces... could've, should've just skipped, haha. Chemistry was like usual... lesson, notes, talking... In bio, we saw the last presentation, and just did nothing after, so it was nice. Oooh, at lunch, after we ate, we went to the library, but Cheryl had to study, so Willie and I asked the librarian and got to look at previous yearbooks! It was so wicked... remembering how ppl used to be back then, and how they looked like... it was... wow! Haha! After lunch, was physics. We were shown this video at first, so I got a nice little nap then, which was better than usual, since there was smooth, calming music in the background. lol.

Okay, so far, the day seemed pretty normal. Now for the more interesting stuff... this is really not funny, but it's just more shocking. Who'd have known that while bussing home, something crazy would happen?! Well actually, no one would have thought of anything like that anyway. Some guy who got off the bus and started crossing the street got hit by a car, and I was right there! Well, I didn't see, but I could've very clearly. It was only because I had turned around to sit in the seat that the guy got up from, that I missed what happened, or else I would have had a perfect view! I only heard a car coming to a screeching stop, and when I turned around to look through the window, I saw the guy rolling on the ground in pain. Apparently, he was hit, and then he like flew over the car, and landed behind it. I don't think I've ever been this close to something like this before, so it was really something different. But yea, the police and ambulance came pretty soon after, and everyone just watched them do their stuff. I think he should be okay; he won't die. There wasn't a lot of blood, so maybe he just broke something. I dunno. After about 15 minutes, the bus was back in service, and I walked home a few stops later. Even though the guy got hit because he was like jaywalking, I was extra cautious when I crossed the street at the light, 'cause yea, who wouldn't be after seeing an accident like that?

The rest of the day was alright. I got to chat with a couple of ppl attending university, so I got more suggestions and whatnot. Ah, I've got to make a final decision soon! Blah.

Physics is the best class to sleep in and the best class to skip. You need to skip it more!
