AGHH!! COLLEGE BEGINS TOMORROW!

Holy crap I'm about 15 hours away from become a college student! Although I won't have the same experience as people in UC's and whatnot, I am sure the next couple years in City College will be a blast.

Today was my last day before going out into the new world as a college student, and what did I do? Absolutely nothing. I woke up to find myself yet again stuck in a chair with my eyes glued on the computer screen and TV. At about 5pm, I left the house for a haircut. In about 15 minutes, I will leave for work and that's about it. Not really as exciting as I had imagined but oh well. I have not even went back to school shopping, but that is so high school-like. I'll buy my notebooks, binders and what not when I feel like it. I'll do whatever I want, I'm a motherfuckerin' college student WHOO! I do feel good now that I am actually not obligated to be in school but I just do it to keep my parents off of my back. I mean seriously, I have 3 classes, one of them being tennis so that really doesn't count. My 2 other classes include Phillipine Studies of Culture and Society through Film, and Women in the Economy. Really?? I don't have any of the classes that I wanted like math or eng. Sigh, city sucks. I am going to leave really early in the morning tomorrow to try to crash a course in City. The reason I am leaving early is because of that BART strike, I am expecting the worse. When the last BART strike happened 12 years ago in 1997, things were terrible. Read this, quoted from The Examiner,

"In 1997, the last time BART workers went on strike, the system was shut down for six days and wreaked havoc on Bay Area commute times. Freeway commutes typically took 30 minutes longer than usual as throngs of additional cars packed the freeways."

I guess 30 minute delay doesn't seem that bad, but wait! I don't fucking drive and this isn't 1997 anymore. According to the demographics of 1996, there was an estimated 768,263 people living in San Francisco, in the year 2009, there is an estimated 808,976 people who live here. That is an increase of about 41 thousand people! WTF!? I am just expecting the worse, I am going to leave my house an hour earlier than usual, maybe even an hour and a half. But anyways, I need to get ready to go to work. I gotta dress and get to the bus stop in 8 minutes or else I have to walk to work...
