<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Before I begin, a little background. I have been volunteering at the Environment Hall at Duke for the past week. Since I don't have access to the parking lots on either side of the EH, I decided to park 2 miles away where I had a spot. I figures I could just use the bus, bc after all, it's not all that hard to use public transportation, right? I'd find out how wrong I was the next day. 

The next day, I had finished up in the lab and I decided to go out to my bus stop early like I always did. The bus arrives at 4:17. I had walked to the stop at 4:13. So I sat myself down and got on my phone. Soon, 5 minutes had passed and the bus wasn't here. I shrugged it off and kept waiting. At 4:25, I started my walking route. Halfway up the hill, I looked back and the bus was pulling into the stop!! I ran as fast as possible and boarded just as the doors shut. I put my head down and got on my phone again. 

And then I looked up. The driver had made two turns away from my route, and now we were a good 2 miles more from the car. Cursing, I pulled the yellow line and got off. The sidewalk on the left side of Moreen Road is a little bit better than a jungle, but it happens to be primarily poison ivy. Reusing through the hot, buggy mess of leaves, I finally arrived at the center of living, which is where my car is parked. Heading in to the lot, the other bus rolls past with its LED displays proclaiming, "Have a nice day! 😀" 
And that, my Redditors, is the closest I've ever come to ripping my hair out.
<bot>: I missed my bus in such a way as to lengthen my walk through poison ivy 2 miles, and it came past me with a cheery message that made me scream.
