well since i commute to school, ive been taking the bus for the past few weeks. i realized that its cheaper, less stressful (parkings a biatch at school, and i dont like hanging the permit on the rear view mirror), and less boring being around other students. my friends think im crazy, but it actually makes sense to use the bus; which btw is costing me an arm and a leg, $1.10 per day =D

ah, thats the host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher [link in sig], Bill Maher. The real reason of why I started to take the bus is because...When you ride ALONE, you ride with bin Laden.

I drive to school since there is no bus stop by my place, but I ride my bike every friday. That's 8.25 miles each way. I planned on riding every MWF, but I ended up having a class that goes till 8PM on MW, didn't want to ride home after that.

I'm proud of you. Thanks.

I walk just about anywhere within 5 miles. I can't stand girls who get in their cars and drive 300ft to get to the gym.

School is nine tenths of a mile away. I could bike, but I own a luxury sedan -- I -will- drive. Plus, its a chance to listen to XM.

I moved near the university for a reason. I'll probably end up driving when it's cold (under 80 degrees). But I don't mind walking. I wonder if I'll still say that when classes start in the spring...
