Like Dominoes

We hopped on the bus from Newbold College to Bracknell, and then ran to the train from Bracknell to London. We made it just in time for the 6:32 PM train to Waterloo.

So how were there 5 extra people with me trying to make it to Scotland?

I told someone who told someone else, and like dominoes piled on the floor, each person convinced the other to go. So with 6 additions to the already confirmed group of 12 we pressed forward with only hope to get us on that bus to Glasgow.

I mean how many people really are trying to get to Glasgow, Scotland on a random Monday night anyway.

So we walked, I even ran a little and just about 3 hours later we were there. At the bus station that is.

"6 tickets to Glasgow please"

"FULL"

The lady wasn't helpful or sympathetic, she just showed us her screen stating that the last bus to Glasgow was full.

So we remained calm on the surface and gradually panicked within.

After little thinking and some pacing, I went back to a different counter. The guy seemed more friendly.

"Do you have anything out of London, we're kinda stuck here"

"Well where do you want to go?"

"I don't really know any cities but, anywhere close"

He pulled up Amsterdam on his screen. 13 hours and more pounds that I had to spare.
Next. Brussels. The bus had left 12 minutes before. Next. Edingburgh, the bus was full.

So we were stuck.

With spontaneity in our heart we made the impulsive decision to just book a hotel. We would be in London for the night.

Hi, I'm Spontaneous. Nice to meet you.

About a month ago, I made a very spontaneous decision to come to Europe. I'd always wanted to study abroad in South America but I also wanted to graduate on time. So the trip to Europe kinda shot up out of the blue. There was already a trip going to Brasil and Chile with the Spanish studies tour, but at the time there were also earthquakes tormenting the Earth so I figured it was in my best interest to stay away from South America.

My roomie told me one random afternoon that she saw a poster advertising a Europe trip and there was one spot left! So I ran to the Business department and signed up with less than a month to go.

Now after 21 days traveling Europe, its down to our last 3 days, and I'm-----going to Scotland!

Made the final decision this afternoon, and I'll see where it gets me!

A Message

In the midst of the tensions surfacing in my life, I've found a message of hope from the Apostle Paul himself.

"Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody"

Romans 12:14-21

Be Blessed.
