the safety bus

waiting in shea/durgin hill lobby
called at 7:41 for the safety bus and got picked up at 7:54
the bus that picked me up i was in the commuter parking lot from the time i called till it picked me up
i dont know why it took so long to pick me up
the van door is very squeaky and difficult to close because there is no door handle to pull on the inside
there are three other people on the safety van including the driver
the seats are grey and there are four rows of seats
the driver is playing country music
we just drove through a red light which i dont think they are suppose to do by any means
the girl in the front seat seems to be his girlfriend and her friend is in the backseat
they are all talking together about random topics and singing country music
the girl in the front seat is being mad fun of for never having apple pie before
she likes apples cinnamon and pastry's but she is scared to try it
she says it looks gross but smells really good
the driver and the girl in the front seat are now making fun of the girl in the back because she has never had fruit punch with sherbet in it
they ask me if i have and i say yes
we then pick up a girl at pope
shes very quiet and doesn't tell the driver were she wants to go she doesn't seem like she knows were she wants to go either
not a lot of people are on the bus tonight because it is so nice out
the driver has the windows down
i got off the van at 8:20 at woodward and a group of people all dressed up are getting on the van
they look like they are going out for the night



While observing my time on the safety bus I found it easy to write down details of whats going on and my surroundings. It got boring after the first five minutes having to write down a lot of details, but it was interesting to listen and look at what went on. While looking over my notes I think I spent too much time writing down full sentences, rather then just jotting down notes. I need to go more detail into the people and note just what they are saying or doing. I am excited to read over my notes from the Hill for my research site because I want to find parts I need to go into more detail. Here is a link to the information about the safety  van.
