I didn't go on the bus ride and I called to explain that I didn't have enough money for rent and that I am no longer going on the trip. I realized the previous day but no one seems to care :/

Bus was 1.5 hrs late (driver said she needed to replace bus since broken, then new bus needed refueling). The bus I rode also desperately needed to empty its toilet since the whole bus reeked of waste.
