traffic

It's insane how one car can back up traffic for 2 miles. But what's even more insane that that is that when there's actually an accident on the road, people can't just proceed, they have to putter by and observe the whole situation. On my way into the city today at around 10:30 I got delayed probably 10 minutes, which is a lot of time when you're trying to hit your destination accurately. There was a three car pileup, I wish there wasn't an accident at all, but you know, they happen. Once I finally got past the glob it took me no time at all to get into town. Luckily, I was planning to be early, so I happened to be just on time. I'm trying to be more prompt, early, not on time.

Another irritance is the cost of parking in this place! It's sooo expensive to park downtown $5 dollars a day is what I've found cheapest and closest to the campus. There are some nearby garages I could use as options that have monthly, or usage deals, but I don't know how I feel about walking to them alone at 9pm. Maybe I'm being a wuss, or maybe I'll get up extra early to park in the lot underneath the school, which fills up everyday before 8am :( Parking is so inconvenient I even have to get parking validation at my bank for the five minutes I'm in there.

I'm ranting. I actually do appreciate it here. It teaches you to be straight forward.

I don't really spend much time in my room except to sleep. I think tonight I will camp out on my bed, just because it's private, and do some work or organize some things. I also need to get a table and organize my stuff. I have powerchords that need to be on all the time plugged into outlets connected to switches... it's not working out very well. I just need to reorganize the space, which I think I will do tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first day of classes, yet I have none on Thursday, so it's my day off. yay.

I wish FIDM had a gym though, I've been wishing I could work out, it helps get me calm and gets out the restlessness. I may try running, though I don't really like running in neighborhoods- i don't like the idea of being watched by people in houses, in cars, or just pedestrians. Maybe I'll just walk. Anyone have any connections with nationwide gyms... free or discounted memberships?? haha, i wish. Either way, I need to get some excersize! I'm looking up this place on the corner of Fairfax called yoga city... it's probably too expensive to go often, but I can try it out at least, see if yoga helps make me sane.
