Uncomfortable Bus Ride

I went for a trip last weekend. My girlfriend and I found a great deal in a Chinese newspaper. It was a bus tour to a casino in upstate New York. People would get $80 to gamble for and a free buffet dinner.

I joked with my professor the day before, saying that I had solved the homeless problem. People could simply take the bus, win their ticket money back, and get a free meal. Unfortunately, I was right.

Passengers seemed very poor and most of them were probably on the bus just for the purpose of getting a free meal. It was extremely loud during the whole trip, and people were yelling almost like kindergarten kids.

I thought the buffet was great but I did not win anything. I prefer going to Atlantic City and the biggest reason is that people on the buses to Atlantic City are travelling because of the fun experience and not in attempt to stay alive.

I have a test on Thursday in my new products development class. The professor cut it down to two chapters. Originally, we were supposed to be tested on seven chapters just like in our first exam.

It came as great relief when the professor announced this. I have a much better idea about the test this time than I had before my first exam. Our test will be structured based on a case and we will have to answer certain questions in regards to the product launch stage.

I thought I would study for this test on the bus on my way to the casino. I spent a total of eight hours on the bus but it was way too loud and distracting for me to be able to study. I have read the chapters ones so far and today I finished a few assignments. I do not think I will have any issues scoring an A on it but it remains to be seen.
