Frozen

            Upon preparing to leave the college to embark on our journey to catch our Peoria Charter bus we worked to load everyone’s suitcases and bags into the school buses. We took the 5-minute ride over to the bus station. While waiting for what seemed like 3 hours we witnessed a potentially intoxicated man go down outside the terminal and the ambulance arrive to assist. What seemed like 5 hours later the Peoria Charter bus arrived and the driver seemed surprised at the amount of students that were patiently waiting to aboard her bus. After Jess played Tetris with out luggage trying to make it all fit in the undercarriage we stepped upon the coldest bun known to mankind. This bus ride was probably the coldest bus ride I have ever experienced as well as a little frightening because the drivers windshield began to freeze over. Therefore, she could not see and was swerving all over the interstate until she was forced to pull over on the side of the road. After that one of our fellow students went to the front to help wipe the windshield down every time it was frosted over. Finally around 9ish we arrived at the Amtrak terminal and were welcomed with heat and real bathrooms. I survived potential hypothermia and a near death experience.
