In order to save a little money, I've recently investigated the possibility of riding public transportation to the university which I attend. I own a motorcycle and a car now which I am very happy to say, but driving a car 60 miles each day to and from school isn't as cheap as some people might think. That's probably why they're always telling people to find people to carpool with, or take public transportation.
I even thought about searching for people to drive down with me, but there's a few reasons why I didn't. One, everyone has to leave at a time suitable for everyone else. Second, parking is a beast, especially at my university. Parking passes are given free here so everyone and their dog likes to drive to school... even people that live 3 blocks away. Come on people, a little walking isn't going to kill you.... or will it?
So right now, as I'm typing this blog entry, I am sitting on a bus on the ride home. I can't believe it! They actually have Wi-Fi on these things.... well the nicer ones anyway. But still, if I needed to get online for something, a few clicks, and I'm there. It's a nice system; I don't worry about finding parking, I can read, do homework, or even sleep on the ride to and from school. So far I'm really liking it! The only thing is.... there is no eating or drinking... good thing drinking isn't a problem for me. Hardy har har!
I would totally prefer to ride a train to the university, but that system isn't totally working yet in my area. Unfortunately it won't be working until I'm all finished with my education. Ah, Cie La Vie! But there is hope! Once it gets warmer and I can ride my motorcycle again, all bets are off.... Hello speed! At least once a week... ;)
