What have I learned? Bus vs. Car

Yesterday I had an event in Hollywood right after work that required a change of clothes (could I be any more of a tom boy?) so I drove my car to and from. After taking the bus nearly every day for three weeks, it felt pretty strange.

Pros:

1. I left 25 minutes before I had to be there, instead of an hour
2. Got to listen to my cheesy hip hop mix CD
3. No unwanted strangers nodding off onto my shoulder
4. No neck and back jostling from constant potholes (there were certainly potholes, but my car is  more insulating than the bus)

Cons:

1. Car didn’t start right away, which is increasingly common and stressful
2. Since my car accident, changing lanes still makes me nervous, so I had to constantly think about what I was doing and couldn’t just “be”
3. Had to drive around to find parking
4. Couldn’t read my latest book, “The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher”
5. No time spent outside, walking

THE WINNER: BUS by a margin!
