Commuting

So this year I am commuting to Pitt three days a week. I didn't think it would be that bad, and really it isn't, but it does cut down on your down time. That hour that you would normally allot yourself for relaxation is taken up by the time it takes you to walk back to your car and drive home. By the time you get home, you have to remove time for dinner, and when you've finally completed everything you need to for the night, you've either fallen asleep doing it, or it's well past midnight and you're exhausted for the next day. This makes me wish a bus came all of the way out here. It would cost about the same, and while I was riding, I could study. No such luck for me.

In other news, I go the WQED FM internship and start on the 20th. This means I'm either going to be working at Walmart 16 hours (read 18 hrs.) a weekend or I'm going to have to take an educational leave of absence. While I hate the thought of not pulling in more money, I kinda need those weekends for all of the work I'm getting piled on top of me from my classes. Truthfully, it's mostly just reading, but it's a lot and from every class.

Perhaps I am just complaining too much. Someone get me a straw.
