14. Commute

    alohalife replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    My commute is 66 miles round trip. It takes me an hour. And in the snow (Maine) it can take me upwards of 2 because it's all back roads. I suck it up knowing that it's short term. I actually like the 'decompress time' alone with no one talking to me...
