Let's have a discussion about commuting...

Commuting is a pain in the ass for everyone. It's especially a pain in the ass for me. I commute 1.5 hours one way, and 1.5 hours back. Every Thursday for June, every Thursday and Friday for July etc. You get the point. And it's even more of a pain when the person living in your house... who has a car... is too "busy" with herself to come get you from the train station (which is 5 minutes away) at 530, once or twice a week. It's kind of sad too, because, well, isn't that what friends do?

But I seem to have a savior this week. Chris King. Friend. Wonderful person. Great RA. He offered to drive  me to the train station. IN THE MORNING AT 630. But also come and pick me up at 530 later that day. Like, who does that? A true friend, that's who. I appreciate this so much... so freaking much. It feels nice to know that someone is going to help me out instead of just being lazy about everything and sitting on the computer all day and only caring about them self....

Anyways, I got a ride. I'm happy about it. It makes me feel good that someone in the world isn't a douchebag who ignores other people in need. We can't all be rich and have cars you know. Some of us have shitty commutes to work and really need to catch a break on part of it. When you start spending 35-40$ a day to get to work, you'll understand what I mean. It's long and it's hard, but I still do it and it's worth it. It's just wonderful to know that there are real friends out there who want to help, and will help because they're good people.
