What Have I Become?

If you are a regular reader of my blog and have read a previous post 'Another Step for Freedom' you would know that I have frequently been catching the bus more on my own as I have got a Bus Pass. Not knowing the consquences of catching a Bus, I am now enjoying catching a Bus. 

It still gives me the thrill of having freedom, that I don't have to pay to catch them and I can leave to catch a Bus at any time and not depend on a mum how has no sense of time keeping resulting me on being early for important things. 

The thing which is worrying me most is, if I don't but the money for my Driving Licence soon, most possibly I will spend the money and end up not sending it off becoming one of them people who take the bus everywhere, at least it reduces me from causing a car crash from driving.

Why we go by Welsh TIme.

I found out a while back what WELSH TIME was and why nothing starts on time (apart from school) and this is because I am and people I know are Welsh or have become Welsh from moving to Wales. But I only recently worked out why we have Welsh time and this is because Stupid Bus Services never arrive on time at a Bus stop (and people have no sense of time, but this is not the point)

As I have got a free Bus Pass now I have been using the bus for anywhere I go. Going to school and coming home from school, the down side of catching a bus to school is that you need to wake up and get out of the house earlier than you did before catching a Bus, annoying. Also getting a Bus to town and well anywhere. Form catching the Bus I have realised why us Welsh have such thing called Welsh time

But also realised why so many people:

• Have bad days right from the begin to the end of the day because they have missed s a meeting or something important because a Bus is late.
  
• Why some people have such good memories; as they practise remembering what times the Bus comes at their regular stop and also which Buses to catch. 
  
• Why regular people who catch a Bus have such good balance when on buses and in any uncomfortable situation.
  
• And why people have no money, one because of the Credit Crunch and also for catching a Bus every day if they don't have a bus pass and a car or don't need it.
  

There is knowledge every where around us and things to learn, and when you do learn these things record them in a Blog, something you can look forward to doing on the odd occasion (and a substitute to doing something which has to done and you don't want to be doing i.e. House work, work in general or homework for me). 

Another Step for Freedom.

Last Thursday, I finally took a stand as I am now 16 and also got my free Bus pass allowing me to go anywhere on a bus in wales for FREE (all I need to do now is remember main bus roues). For the first time ever I went into Cardiff City Centre by myself, no annoying brothers, no mum dragging you into shops not normally met my men and telling you what to buy and what not to (not going with friends as well lets you get things done much quicker).

I went in to get a few bits and pieces spending around about £20 pound on one game, a mothers day card £7 headphones, a present for a friend and a simply shake for myself (treat) just shows who much £20 goes (not very far). Down side to it is that in town after school when finished getting home takes three times as long.

Then in youth getting informed by a friend that you can spend another £5 on top of 20 and get

• 2 tops
• 1 pair of shoes
• 1 belt
• 1 pair of shorts
• 1 pair of sun glasses
• and lunch for two people

This shows that my friend Thomas is the ultimate shopper and knows where to buy things very cheap or Primark is the cheapest shop in the world.
