typically UW students... still half sleeping, eyes not even open. Then they suddenly wake up when they watch the 2 whiz by them at hyper speed. This morning was no different.
I was at a stop light on Broom St. Granola, age 19, monster sized backpack with 1000 textbooks crammed into it. The backpack literally weighed down her tiny birdy frame. Coffee mug in one hand, other hand is constantly pulling up her jeans so they dont fall down.
Now comes the 2. Warp speed, 1000 miles an hour down broom, only to slam on the brakes at every bus stop. Granola sees the bus, and runs as fast as her Teva sandals will take her... Running with her right hand sticking straight out, trying not to spill a drop of her chai latte organic low fat made by local farmers concoction. Left hand trying to keep her hemp pants up . Backpack bouncing up and down, about to crack her back in half.
She runs in front of traffic, almost gets picked off by a huge pickup truck, then runs in FRONT of the 2. she almost became organic road kill. But chick had determination, and made it on the bus.
I love mornings when the kids are late for the bus.
