Can't Change the Past

Today started off pretty well, minus waking up a little after 7:00, but I guess that will soon be considered sleeping in. :S I signed my lease for my apartment. It has one nice small bedroom, with 3 beds. The kitchen is open! Thankfully, most others were little closet kitchens, not much opportunity to move around! The storage doesn’t look too bad, so that should be nice for me, even though I swear I am not even bringing half of what I normally do to school! I will try to take some pictures once I am arranged in there this weekend.
I then ventured off to find my school route so I would not have to be too extremely nervous when I had to go in the morning. Things were going well, transportation was easy and didn’t make me wait to long, only walked a few blocks in the wrong direction, pretty normal! Haha
The trip back is when my trip started to go down hill! I used my lovely pass to get on the bus. I think I was holding on to the pass thinking, “It is a short trip, I will hold it so at the next stop I won’t hold anybody up.” Such a wonderful thought, huh! As I was stepping off the bus I began to realize I didn’t have my pass. I checked all my pockets, but by the time I knew it was gone, so was the bus. I asked the man inside and he said he couldn’t do anything and I would have to ask the next bus. So I waited. The next one soon came and I asked if he could radio the other man. Nope…simply gave me a number to call. All I wanted was somebody to contact this bus driver so he could look where I was sitting at his next stop…I knew it was there! It has my lovely face and name on it, who would really want to keep it from me. Well I called lost and found and they said I had to wait until the buses pulled it. Bah…I was soo mad at myself and sick to my stomach. I had this pass for a day and half and had already lost it.
Thankfully some man must have overheard my conversation and offered to scan his pass to get me back on the L. Very nice of him. So being extra flustered I had to ask the lady if I was going the right way and all I could tell her was I was going to the loop (downtown area). I told her other than that I didn’t know! Haha, I kind of did, but didn’t care, I would figure that out when I got closer. I was right and the train started moving. I attempted to calm myself down and then looked up and thought the train next to us was going to hit us. My draw dropped and my eyes got real big. I felt kind of silly right away and happened to glance at the lady who just confirmed I was going the right way, she was laughing… at me. I couldn’t help but laugh a little either thinking about how ridiculous I looked and that I actually thought the train was going to hit us. Obviously NOT local!
So yes, I got back to the hotel and told the lady in charge what happened. She told me to go buy a week pass…a little unsure of where I was going, but didn’t care. I just walked fast and knew I would run into a Walgreens or CVS on some corner. Bought that, walked back and met people in the lobby to go to our pizza party. I was still sick to my stomach and upset, but didn’t have time to just let it out. We went to the pizza party, got lost, but just had to turn around. After hardly eating all day and looking forward to the pizza, I choked down about a piece. Food was not on my stomach’s mind.
Well, the end of my day was not so happy, but I can’t change what happened. Yes, I will have to spend money to replace it, but I suppose it could be a lot worse. There is no point in spoiling good things, worrying about something I can no longer do a thing about.
