My thoughts on public transit.

I hate it.

Anyone who thought it would be a good idea to build an inadequate amount of parking decks, yet encourage as many people to take public transit to be "green" is a moron.  I mean, really?  The time and gas I waste driving to the metro in Vienna is pretty much equal to driving into DC for the day.  You may be wondering why I don't just do that?  Because parking tickets are 30$, and I'm not made of money (no matter what I've led you to believe).  And to top off my issues with public transit, I found out today that VRE no longer offers youth discount tickets to people 21 and under.  Are you KIDDING ME?! I was so very angry upon learning this information.  The commute is, and always will be, the worst part of this internship.  Always.

I'm not interning tomorrow because I'm a baby, and I'm scared to drive in icy conditions after my wreck.

Can't wait to see what next week has in store for me, though! Keeping my fingers crossed and feeling exponentially grateful.
