How do I get there?




My journey starts off by waiting on the bus on a very cold and dark morning. When the bus eventually comes I see the lights that are far too bright at this time in the morning and is hard to read, however the X76 jumps out at me so I know that it is my bus. I get on the bus and usually fall asleep or rest my eyes until the bus reaches kilmarnock bus station. It is still peaceful though and I feel more awake now. When we get on the motorway, the bus is travelling pretty fast and I get glimpses of the words and numbers from the signs, some stick out more than others. It is then a journey of starting and stopping, constantly and you see a flood of red lights infront of you. Now to the most important part of the journey - trying to get in to Glasgow. This is when the journey becomes alive with people moaning, shouting or laughing on the bus, now that everyone is awake. It seems as if there are cars coming from hundreds of different roads, all trying to get on the one road. This seems to be a lot of start and stop also which gets me frustrated, aswel as probably the drivers. Eventually, we enter Glasgow in a bright yet grey morning. I notice the amount of tall buildings around me as the bus stops every so often to let passengers off. It is not long before I get to Buchanan bus station and across the road to uni.

  1. your description is so lovely...how can you use your landscape to communicate as well as your short paragraph has? Some of the typefaces just aren't strong enough to communicate the beauty or excitement they ought to...
