Changing Routes
My morning consists of me driving to campus although I live less than a
mile away. It may seem ridiculous to drive since the commute is such a
short distance, but to my defense I have to commute to Rancho Santa Fe
immediately after class for work. Also some mornings I have to work before
my classes and then commute to campus. For the sake of arriving in a
timely manner driving seemed to be my best option. Luckily this past week
my job postponed my clock in time until the late afternoon which enabled
me to test out another method of transportation. For this experiment I had
a few options since campus is rather close to my apartment. I had the
options of either biking, carpooling with another UCSD student or testing
out the shuttle. The second best option I decided would to be try out the
shuttle. Surprisingly I found the shuttle quite comfortable! The positive
aspects clearly out weighed the negative. The shuttle was not over flowing
with students, frequently arrive about every 7-8 minutes and I did not
have to harass students to get their parking spaces. Taking the shuttle
also allowed me an extra 15 minutes to gather my thoughts, drink my coffee
and review notes from the prior lecture. Honestly, I am planning to change
my method of driving to taking the shuttle.
