This is my weekday schedule for the next 4 months. Green is my time in class on campus, yellow is my time at work, and blue is my time in transit. The buses slow down to hourly in the evenings, so I spend a lot more time waiting. I can get home in 45 minutes if I leave the office at 5:00 or 5:30, but not if I leave after that.

And somehow I’m going to fit dating in here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One nice thing about the long transit block after work is that if I get stuck waiting at the West Ed transit center I can do some grocery shopping at the Asian market. If the bus I take doesn’t turn out their interior lights (understandable why they do it, it gets dark here really early during the winter), I can get a bit of studying done in the evenings. Or I can blog from my phone, I’ve done that before too.

But yeah, I think I’m going to do a big batch of chili this weekend and freeze some. One last (jam packed) weekend of freedom before the busy season really begins.
