Waking up at 8am to go to an Economics class is no pleasurable experience. Neither is the walk back. Normally, after class, I would trudge along the dirt path, half-awake, through the eucalyptus forest to hurriedly get to my on-campus apartment. "Ten minutes until I am back in my warm and comfy bed," I thought to myself as I hastily walked past sleepy individuals, taking paths that required the least amount of walking.
But one day, my good friend and I decided that we were going to take an adventure after class.
My ten minute walk turned into an hour and a half spontaneous quest involving a second person and a car. We drove off campus to Bristol Café. After eating a delicious meal, I arrived back at my apartment just in time for Professor Brown's ambitious, yet sadly unsuccessful, online lecture. Although this random outing was indeed fun, it is not only costly, but time consuming. If for some reason there was traffic, I would have not made it back in time for Mobile Communications. This trip could only happen again if the circumstances were in my favor (i.e., Mobile Communications class being canceled) and if my friend was extremely persuasive.
