Joy overload.

I wouldn't for one minute, no, one second, hesitate to say that today is one of the best days ever ( for 2012, that is ). Just recently, the bus i caught from Sefton to Fairfield was bombarded with ChesterHill peeps. Just like the past few months, I've been standing on the bus from school on Thursdays and Fridays. And this isn't just for me, oh nono, im talking about all sefton students- with laptops, textbooks or whatever heavy projects we have to bring home. So it wasn't until we formed a petition and did all the things I learnt in geography, about being an active citizen. Even though I will classify as the most inactive citizen ever, i was bothered enough to print out forms and voila, the petition was formed. I have to admit that it did take me a week or two to send it off but hey, it paid off ! It started with this Year 8 girl named Jasmine screaming out that the bus was empty and this conversation with the bus driver. Donna: ' Ask if this is permanent, go! ' Me : ' Hi, is this permanent ?' Bus dude: ' Yeah, yeah, i'll tell you later' And as expected, he did. He got out of his bus seat once everyone was seated and made his little speech that was real sweet of him . If i may paraphrase, he said something along the lines of saying that we're like his family, that he's happy for us that we no longer have to stand up, that he agrees with the bus company's decision and everything like that. His speech ended with all smiles and happinesss. The fact that our petition worked.. its just so touching. WE NO LONGER HAVE TO CATCH THE BUS, STANDING. WE NO LONGER HAVE TO WATCH CHS YEAR 7 STUDENTS SWEAR AND THROW WATER BOTTLES. WE NO LONGER HAVE A FEAR OF BRINGING SOMETHING HEAVY HOME ON THURS AND FRI ARVOS. and we no longer will become hunchbacks in the future thanks to all this. So, How better can my day get ? I GOT MY ENGLISH EXAM BACK and i am in such relief. I'm super happy with my mark no matter what anyone says. Got all my exams back and they haven't gone into the 60 percent range so im all cool. Ah, joy overload !
