My usual routine of getting to school in the morning is fairly
complicated and takes up several hours of my time. I live with my
boyfriend in Rancho Penasquitos; so, leaving an hour before class in
imperative if I want to arrive on time to class. I typically drive, park
in the UCSD shuttle pick up amongst the apartments on Arriba and Regents
Rd, which takes you to Mandeville on campus. I then have to walk to
wherever my class is on campus. I did not mention the hour it takes me
to dress in the morning. If I have a class at 11:00, I have to wake up
at 9:00. In the long hours between morning classes and night classes, I
usually go to work, which is located on Mira Mesa Blvd. I take the UCSD
shuttle back to my car and drive to work, then go back to the UCSD
shuttle area and take it to school, starting the whole sick cycle all
over again. I decided to change up my routine. I car pooled with my
boyfriend to school, and took the 921 bus to work and back to school. My
boyfriend was also the one to pick me up after my evening class and drive
me home. Although this new routine saved a lot of time, put a little
more money back into my pocket due to getting to work earlier and less
money spent on gas; I still like the feeling of having control of my
time and where I go that I get using my own car.
