sucks. It's been a day and a half now, and it's really getting on my nerves. Seriously, I need to devote 2 hours of my life every day to travel from my house to my classes and back again? Not fun. Not at all fun.
I waited for a trolley for over twenty minutes this morning!!!! What is that all about?? I was 10 minutes late to my first class this morning because of it. And what if I oversleep? There is no throw-on-some-clothes-and-walk-5-minutes option now. Nope. No room for mistakes.
Also, I am on campus with 3 1/2 hours of free time and nowhere to go chill out. I miss my little room. I have to sit in the computer lab and blog instead of watching old episodes of Scrubs. Boo.
Plus also, I forgot my Pitt ID today, so I had to shell out $4.60 to get here this morning, and tonight I'm gonna have to shell out $4.60 more to get home. That's almost $10 down the tubes!!! I could have bought a journal with that money! Or makeup! Or food! Or ANYTHING but bus and trolley fare!!! Ooo I'm so angry. >:(
And also, I don't have a meal plan anymore, so I'm going to have to pay real money for my dinner tonight. Argh!
:( I'm sorry. As a fellow non-mealplanner, packing a lunch is often useful. Sandwiches, pasta, and salads are all cheap and pack well.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come up with a magic solution for transportation, but I can't think of anything at the moment. Maybe you could carpool with someone? Check around to see if anyone works in oakland and can give you a ride one way.
I really hope things work out for you Jane.
Bring a newspaper to read or homework to do on the T (which is much smoother than your Downtown-Oakland bus). There's 36 minutes each way right there for you to reclaim.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how much commuting sucks. I'm so sorry you have to do it. Hopefully this'll be the only year and something can be figured out for next year. <3
