charloweenTo get to my 8:30am class, I have to:
- go to bed before 11pm the night before if there's any hope of being functional the next morning
- wake up at bloody early o'clock (ie. when it's still dark)
- stumble around throwing fruit cups and granola bars in a bag to eat in class because it's still bloody early o'clock and that's far too early to eat
- leave home by 7am and shuffle (as would a zombie) to the streetcar stop (in winter, this happens when it's still dark out)
- spend a minimum 75 minutes on public transit, during which time the sun rises
- fall off the bus, blink at the barely pre-dawn "daylight" and propel self to the Centre for Film and Theatre cafeteria-thing (the one that sells potato pizza for lunch!)
- obtain coffee (sweet mana of life)
- shuffle to class, dig out breakfast, consume coffee and let the lecture go in one ear and out my pen without actually hitting my brain
EXCEPT for today, when all the above was completed on time EXCEPT THE PROFESSOR WAS SICK SO CLASS WAS CANCELLED, ARGH. Luckily I could head to work early and be productive and get paid so the time isn't wasted, but *still*... *sob*.

Date: 2007-01-16 05:53 pm (UTC)Yeah, it's about 75 minutes to get to campus with another 75 to get back home at the end of the day. I know a few kids who come from 2 and 2.5 hours away. Luckily I have an on-campus job with flexible hours, so if I get out of class early I can hop into the office and get some work done. I've also got an afternoon class today which means I had multiple reasons to be on campus.
