Soon after I arrived at UJ and vented my frustration to my co-workers, we left for the bus stop. The bus surprisingly arrived promptly 5 min later. I thought it would be smooth the rest of the way home, oh I was wrong. We got on the crowded bus and went up to the second story to find a seat. We sat down amongst some unruley young people (younger than us, probably in their late teens), who had obviously been drinking. A couple of stops down the girls got off and the boys kept making rude comments even after the girls were gone. As the bus left the stop we started hearing raised voices behind us toward the back of the bus, all of a sudden we heard scuffling, and turn back to see two guys beating up on eachother. Quickly everyone who wasn't involved moved to the bottom floor. Someone told the driver what was going on and possibly called the police, I'm not entirely sure, but the next thing i know is that the driver missed our stop and the next 2 and wouldn't let people off the bus (we were assuming so the Garda could come deal with the situation). This caused a problem of its own and people started complaining and yelling at the driver, cursing and swearing at him. Eventually he let off the crowd standing by the door, we left at that time. I don't know what happened in the end, hopefully everything turned out ok. It made for quite an interesting evening.

...after the mouse
So after I saw my furry friend roommate, I went down to Blackrock for work (we were doing a movie night for the 5-6class), afterward, I walked down to the dart station. Emma and Adam stayed at Urban Junction to finish up some things (thank God they stayed). I bought my ticket and walked to the platform, the time read 17 min until the next train, i figured it wasn't too bad so I waited, and waited and waited. When the time got to 4min it stuck, and didn't change for about 25 min. Then it changed to 10 min, then when that had run down to 8 min it changed again to 25. I then had had enough and decided to walk back to UJ and get the bus with Emma and Adam. What felt like hours at the dart station was probably around 45 min, but it doesn't end there...
