One down...
Getting to school has never been such a hassle, or ever cost so much. My mom woke me up telling me that if I wanted to go with her, I would have to go get ready immediately. I didn't have class until 11 so naturally at 7:50 I declined her ride. When I did get up an hour later and prepared to go catch the GO Bus to Union Station, I realised one thing as I was putting my shoes on - my car keys were not with me, and (after a frustrating search) nor were they in my house. Well eventually I only had one option. Costs for the day:

Taxi to a CIBC sort of close to a GO stop (for cab fare) - $8.00
Bus from nice off-duty GO driver to Mount Jot (GO station) - free
Bus from Mount Joy to Union Station - $4.10
Subway from Union to Campus - $1.90
Subway from Campus to Union - $1.90
Bus from Union to Centenniel (GO station) - $4.10

By the time I got down I had missed my 11:00 class but that was mostly because of the snowy road conditions making the entire trip 40 minutes longer than normal. Some of you would have probably said, "Just skip the day! It's not worth it." The fact was though that I had to go downtown because I had a test in the evening.

A test for which good preparation was made! And by good preparation I really mean that there was awful disruptive studying with this fellow (its true, as we hypothesized from last year, one cannot study with him around) and when he left there was pretty decent studying with the remaining 2 chumps. I hope I did well on that test; I'm not sure I got all the points down (had to write 3 essays). Onward and upward!
