I'm starting to get used to the bus. It's kind of nice to have a bit of a routine, rather than dealing with parking as a new crisis every day (park off campus and ride my bike? park in two hour zone? pay $6? lay down and die from inability to make a simple decision?)
Today, it's not raining, so my feet are not cold. The stupid thing is, the last 20 yards into the building here are next to impossible to navigate in the rain w/o getting soaked... totally bad drainage... big flat cement slabs with puddles.
So the bus is nothing. Parking and walking in from the lot will get you just as soaked as standing under an umbrella for an extra 7 minutes at the bus stop.
My friend W on the IRC said: "if i lived in the city i would take public trans because i like to talk to people and i am not into driving..."
No one talks that much... I space out with my Ipod and a book. I'm starting to like it. It's like sitting and staring only things are moving past the window and it's a little bouncy. And the corners are fun. But mostly it's nice not to have to decide whether to deliberately crash into the cars that piss me off.

I like public transport but I /don't/ like to talk to people that much. But headphones are great for avoiding that when you don't want it. Something peaceful about being driven around.
