Since I began my journey as a college student, I've been spending an hour or more just traveling to our university. Good thing that we are only mandated to attend face-to-face two times a week. Imagine you must prepare for almost an hour, wait for your mother, and ride 17 km. I swear that Monday and Tuesday are dreadful. Therefore, sorry if I am not active here in every face-to-face class because I feel so drained. I'm not much comfortable writing posts in my classes, so I only gather some images for my articles.

Anyway, sorry again if I won't be able to publish here for Saturday to Tuesday. I decided to sacrifice my blogging routines temporarily because I can't manage to handle my study for my midterm exam and personal chores. Don't worry, I will still try to catch up by reading your articles. You can still see me in my two noise accounts. Just click this link and here.

Preparing myself

I usually prepare at noon and sometimes prepare earlier if I need to attend something important. After taking a bath from my regular exercise and wearing my usual attire, I eat my lunch and pack all the modules I need to bring. By the way, do you want to see my Bag Raid? I'm going along with my younger sister when my Mom will accompany her to school since their afternoon class starts at 1:00 PM. Meanwhile, I leave the house by 1:00 PM even though my class is still 2:30 PM due to different traffics. The picture above is our tricycle which my mother uses when they pick us back and forth.

Commuting in XLT

Here is the visual representation of the XLT I rode a few days ago. After she delivered my younger sister from her room, my mother brought me to the transportation stop where I traveled from school. Aside from traffic, one of the reasons why I need to attend early is because drivers stop in front of the CLSU. They spend about a maximum of 15 minutes and sometimes grander if they are not contented with the number of their passengers. I get annoyed when the driver stops at a gas station and when the weather feels like you are burning in hell. I am also irritated with those drivers who are charging us Php. 35 if I won't give them an exact amount. As far as I have a choice, I would only give them the same amount since some are opportunity takers.

Traveling feels

Traveling from our school is a bit therapeutic since I can take breaks from using my phone by just enjoying the view. Passing by the houses and big establishments gives me entertainment, bruh. Weird mindset, I guess. Honestly, that's why I love riding. I can treat myself to a relaxing view before I face the real world. This activity drains my well-being, including my academic activities, but that's fine since I can take a rest from technology. The fare from going back and forth is quite expensive (Php. 60 - Php. 80), and we should normalize it.
