If you want good seats on the bus, really - get up early. At 7:00 AM or when you're running to catch it at 8:12 AM, you'll get the best seats possible. I love sitting in the back of the bus and almost always have and if you have heavier bags you can put them on different seats (as everyone does at that time) without disturbing each other. And the bus ride and the beautiful scenery keep you awake and you reach Hamilton more refreshed, I've found. I only fell asleep once on the GO Bus during my trips to Mac and that was because I ran like I had diarrhea (I didn't.) from building to building trying to catch the Bus. (I always walk to the wrong side of campus).
I understand that we tend to want certain things in life but we cannot always get them by just crossing our fingers.
I want to get good grades so I'm picking early morning classes; this way I'm forced to wake up early and get good sleep the night before and I'll avoid sleeping in to miss a lecture as I might do if my timings were later, and I'm stuck in an academic environment and will have more incentive to work.
Nothing comes easily.
Being able to move here from Dubai and still lead a privileged life is a real blessing but other people should not have to suffer for your comforts. Some of us can't pay rent, others can't afford food. Unless there's a disability involved, the dog shouldn't be on the damn bus anyway. And if the guys are creepy, sit in front beside the driver.
