I am a total country girl at heart. My favorite pastime is gardening, I love "Wide Open Spaces" (thanks to the Dixie Chicks), and I love any paintings with chicken in it. I am also hesitant to try new adventurous things without a close friend sitting right beside me. A couple days into the school semester I had a parking lot meltdown and in return vowed to never drive my car to school or fork up my well-earned money for gas and a parking pass again. Many were skeptical when I told them I would start riding the bus to school, but one spontaneous day (ok, I did a lot of research of bus schedules first so it wasn't too sponaneous) I hopped on the train and officially took advantage of the public UTA system!
I had known for a while that our "privilege" of paying the big bucks for school allowed us college students to ride public transportation for free, but I was convinced that only drug dealers took the bus and now I have confirmed that I'm right when I smell the lingering illegal odor.
Public transportation has its good points like I save gas and get the opportunity to read while being chaffeured around town but there is definitely a different culture on the bus with a whole lot of interesting characters-from the drunk guy to the man selling peaches- and I am glad that I'm along for the ride even though I constantly wonder where my hand sanitizer is.
