@Normal:Today when I was riding the bus home from school, I thought about how long I ride the bus each day. I live about 200 yards past the hill up near North Star Fireworks, but the bus driver can’t drop me off, then turn around and finish the route like he used to.

Since they changed the route, I leave school at 3:30 p.m. and get home after at 4:30 p.m., the last student after the rest of the route. Even if it involved him dropping me off at Dudley’s and me walking home, but that is not what the guy who runs the bus thinks, so I spend two hours per day on the bus. I think that should change.
