Old-school buses

I left Borough Market for 5SSMN228, Corporate Finance, in the Franklin Wilkins Building at the Waterloo Campus. We got stuck straight into EBIT, PE ratios, cash flows and capital asset pricing models. No nonsense in second year *nods*

So after 2 hours of regenerating brain cells, I went to the library to see if I could borrow my textbooks so I don't have to buy them, or at least I have time to go look for a secondhand copy. I went to the Franklin Wilkins library where I found a 1993 copy of my Corporate Finance textbook. I got it on a monthly loan. We'll see how well it does. I know the book is nearly as old as I am, but I'll use it for now and compare it to the newest edition if I make any friends in that class.

Then to the Harry Potter Maughan Library to look for my theology book. The place is HUGE. And you have to go through rooms and rooms of books. I found the current edition of my textbook on a weekly loan.

Then to Ryman down Fleet Street to get some stationery. By this time I was carrying my handbag, my notebook for Corp Fi, 2 textbooks, 3 ring binders and 2 sheafs of superior high white copy paper, each with 500 sheets. My arms nearly died. So I was going to walk along Fleet Street and hopefully find Berlin, when I decided it was too heavy and I was just going to take a bus. I was waiting at the bus stop when this cute looking bus came towards me. I seriously thought it was like a school bus or a grannies' day out bus or something. But no. It had a number and destination at the front, and it stopped at the bus stop
And everyone else got on when it stopped. Everyone else got on at the back. Yeah. It was one of those old buses that had a pole at the back and you could jump on if you were late. SO CUTE. So small, with rounded corners, and the inside was benches (as opposed to individual seats). They run on Route 15, just in case anyone is going to London soon and wants to ride on one of those.

Currently sitting outside the Strand Campus, waiting for Berlin and hoping to get a good photo of an old bus. A couple have gone past but I'm not exactly staring at the road with my camera poised, so I haven't got a good shot yet.
