I am not a morning person, so when it comes to waking up for class and having to walk to the bus stop to get on campus, I don't like.  However, when I think of the gas and money I'm saving by not driving to campus and having to buy a parking permit, I feel a little relieved and defeated since my apartment is really close to the Regents bus stop, making me feel guilty for not taking advantage of that and just walking.  However, the total time it takes to walk to the class, get on the bus, get to the main campus, get off the bus, and then walk the rest of the way to class is about 40 minutes, which sounds ridiculous considering how close I live to campus, making going to school tedious and burdensome.  So just recently I have started driving to class, having obtained a parking permit from my job.  Life has been so much easier and more convenient, being able to park closer to class and not having to leave my apartment in the morning so early.  I can also estimate the time it takes to drive and park better than if I were to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus, which is unpredictable most of the time.  I was shocked to see how easy the decision was for me to drive instead of take the bus and even though gas prices have sky-rocketed lately, the convenience of driving is just too hard to give up now!
