goshhh its been such a tiring week and its only tuesday!!! first of all yucky physics class started for 4X a week classs and then about 20 hours of lab research..it hasnt been as bad as i thought...i hope i retain all that im learning...first of all lemme tell u about my day yesterday....woke up abou 6 a.m. (!) and i wantd to take the early train in case i got lost anywhere...welps i missed that one like by a minute so i waited for the 7:18 train, which ended up to fit perfectly cuiz the first train outa la to irvine was at 8 ...so it was smooth sailing and then there was a direct bus to univ center waiting for us as we got off the train, and so i learned that every time a metrolink gets off, one of those shuttles is waiting so i thought SWEET!....then boring physics and then like 5.5 hours in the lab, standing the whole time doing the most tedious process ever, preparation and extraction of DNA...my feet were aching and then i took the bus to the tustin metrolink station, trying to catch the 6:46 pm train to only find out that that train didnt go all the way to la, and t here werent anymore for the day, so i took that train til their stop in santa ana, since they were expecting an amtrak train to la....so i had to wait an hour there for that train...so he said metrolink tickets (by the way for one round trip cost me 15.75!)werent transferable on amtrak so i had to plead my case to the conductor to see if he would let it slide, otherwise he would have me buy another ticket for 19.50! so i waited anxiously, with my heart pounding fast, and finally i saw the train and asked the conductor, he kinda gave me this (eh) look and he told me to go inside...so he was trying find me a way to get back to van nuys, since there were no more trains to vannuys (since it was already 8 and it would be 9 when we got to la), only an amtrak bus...so he said the best he could do was 13.50 with the bus and 11 without...so i scrounged around in my wallet and found 9 dollars and i was about to offter my credit card and then he goes "its ok...just be careful next time" so im forever grateful to that conductor!! then i had to call my dad to pick me up in la.....so i had to get gas and food and i got home around 10pm..can u believe that i left my house at 6:30 am and didnt get back til 10...goodness!
~then today started off kinda eh too..my dad bought me a 10 trip ticket to irvine and since i got off in tustin i wondered if i could get one to tustin for a cheaper price....when i got there this guy who was at the phone booth, slides in front of me since i guess he was saving his place in line while he was on the phone....so this guy takes forever and started singing and going back to the ph one booth while the agent was processing his request....and i didnt want to miss my train, and so i waited 15 mins and this guy wasnt even done so i walked to wait for the train..then the day was ok besides the professor scaring us about how hard this course will be esp for summer.....and then discussion ended early and then we were only in lab til 3...so i caught an earlier bus and trains but i still got home at around 6:30....then i asked the agent at the station some questions and found out that this ticket my dad bought would obly last me a week ....so i came home and i asked my dad if we could pay the difference for a monthly pass...so we went back (i wanted to go back while that guy was still there cuz he was really cool)...and he basically said that they dont usualy exchange if the 10 trip was already used but since it was only marked and not punched, hed prolly be able to do it and i explained my situation in the morning...so we got a monthly pass but it ends on the 31st....so basically after calculating it all i just saved 10 dollars....ahahahh i guess thats good...
