Today is the day for firm decisions! Perhaps...

Yesterday I said I was working on my productivity level. Well, today I acted upon that. I did my morning ritual of eating, cleaning, and grooming. I boarded the bus downtown, hit the library, and headed to my last stop of the day before going home, the grocery store. Kroger on the west side to be exact. I had to get all of the groceries I needed, check out, and report back to the bus stop within thirty minutes or else, I would be obligated to wait thirty minutes for the next one coming. This was one of the most difficult tasks I've ever done! The $35 worth of groceries I purchased were stuffed in the two recyclable grocery bags I try to remember to take with me shopping and my book bag. Yet in still, they were so heavy three hours later, my shoulders and back are still throbbing.

My experience has greatly increased my will to find a job, make some money, and buy a car so I won't have to do this on a regular basis. My hat's off to those of you who use public transportation as a means more than this priviledged college student who only rides from her apartment to campus.
