09/29/2004: "Driving made me ANGRY"
I've come to the conclusion that driving increases peoples' blood pressure and that the entire world should start using public transportation.
Well, except on my bus route. I hate it when I have to stand.
All kidding aside though, I LOVE not having to drive. I never realized how stressed out driving made me until I didn't have to anymore. Especially this summer when I had to drive downtown every day for my internship, I would be so agitated at all the idiot drivers during rush hour. Now I just hop on, get lost in a book, and let the bus driver nagivate the mad traffic. Plus I'm totally not missing having to worry about the gas prices.
I also love how everything is RIGHT HERE...within a mile of me is almost everything I could ever want. While the weather's still good, it's a nice walk, and when it starts getting cold, it's easy to hop on the bus. Yesterday I walked to Express and Best Buy. The only thing I CAN'T find is a used video game store...there are two used book stores and several used CD stores right here, but no used video game store that I can find ANYWHERE, even outside of walking distance. I think I must be overlooking one.
I bought a lightweight grey zip-up hoodie at Express to wear over my summer clothes, and I just noticed that the inside of the hood and the elbows are a shiny silver material. How cool!

This makes me want to get a job downtown just so I can take the bus again. AND, if I was within walking distance of an Express, I would be in heaven.Tara, Thursday, September 30th
