Um better than most summers like I actually did something productive with my summer rather than just staying home and bumming around. Like sleeping 'til two a-m- er two p-m. Two in the afternoon everyday and just going on the computer or whatever. I ah worked pretty much the whole summer as a wading- pool lifeguard at a Woburn-Park.

They just roam. They never wanted to work. They just sort-of bummed off the locations.

I didn 't, um the friend that I went with had been there for a few more months than I had, but I just kind-of joined her um but I you-know I had saved up and didn 't want to work, I was bumming around Europe.

No, other people drove. I didn't have my first car until I was nineteen, so I had to like bum rides off everyone.

Not really you-know might go to Lakefield on a Wednesday night or-something. See the stores used to be open on Wednesday nights years ago. Well you'd go to Lakefield and bum around you-know as you called it.

Well right after high-school I kind-of bummed around to be honest, I kind-of just like didn't know what to do you-know with myself. Ah I wasn't really interested in going to u-- college ,university like it just wasn't something I wanted to do at that point.

I don't know any other word, so- alienated us, like we didn't want to even talk to her and sh-- all she did was hang out with him, like we never saw her for like two years, or-something, so. He was just an idiot too. He always like bummed mo-- money off of her and like, she spent so much money on him and- lost so much money on him and- they dated for a really long time.

And they're pretty good. But I-think you get a rapport with your students that they just get to know you and you're generally a pretty nice person and fun or-whatever and then if you have a day that you're just kind-of bummed out, they go, "Okay, that's cool, we'll leave you alone."

Not- not in school anymore, no job, you-know their parents, no job, they stay with them and they're basically all doing the same thing, bumming smokes from each other and whatever else- you-know it's just-

Like we never bugged our parents for rides 'cause you could always bum a ride with somebody.

Speaker: Yeah, it was like an old beater. Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: Yeah (laughs). Yeah. Just (non-lexical sound) b-- bum around the fields, yeah.

Speaker: Anyways it finally- it finally got settled out and it went on the market and then it sold before I even had a chance to bid on it. Interviewer: Aw that's a shame. Speaker: Yeah I was bumming.

Speaker: People are just horrified when I tell them this. Everybody smoked on the buses including the driver (laughs). Interviewer: Oh my God! Speaker: And he used to bum lights off us and we bum lights off him, oh my gosh.
