Essay 1

The route I take on a daily basis is from my apartment on campus to work.
The route that I take daily from my apartment to work begins at the stairs
that lead to the lower Marshall apartments. As I walk away from the
Marshall apartments, I arrive at a path through some trees behind Geisel
Library. Through Geisel library, I walk into Sun God Lounge and around
the second floor of Price Center. Past the Price Center Ballrooms, I exit
at the back doors of Price Center and I will arrive at the Student
Services Center. The new route and method I chose to take on my way to
work was utilizing the UCSD Shuttle. By taking the UCSD Shuttle, I had to
wait five to ten minutes for a shuttle to arrive. I chose the shuttle
going counter-clockwise since I assumed it will take me closer. I
encountered many stops and many students entering and leaving the bus. At
my final destination, I got off the shuttle and had to walk 5 minutes
until I reached my work place. The new route was more unreliable in time
and convenience. My original method of walking and the route I usually
take gives me more control over how much time it can take me to get to
work or which paths I can take.
