As I sit on the train I try to picture what it will be like to do this every day.
The train used to give me panic attacks. The people and the enclosed space and the sneezing and coughing and – really – just the not-private nature of a whole bunch of people trying to be alone in the people-can freaked me out.
Now, after years of reminding myself how expensive parking downtown is and how amazing it is both my work and school are a block away from the train station I’m better about the whole thing.
Better enough to do it 4-5 days a week come fall? That remains to be seen. Not having a choice helps, but not much…when was the last tine you said to yourself, “I have no choice…wow! That’s freeing!” Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is not a common reaction to having no options.
I hope it’s all smooth sailing and happy times. Or as close as you can get with a schedule that has you in the office and 18 credit hours of classes.
At least it will be interesting! (and fun – because I’ll make it fun if I have to kill someone LOK)
