This morning I woke up with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I realized Brittany had my parking pass, which was at home with her in Northern Kentucky. Yesterday, Brittany went home to work and was unable to come back to Lexington last night due to the icy roads. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal and would really not have affected me. The only problem was that my parking pass was resting comfortably inside her car because we used it to park in my lot on Monday and then didn't remember to get it out before she went home (we thought we would use it yesterday to park but ended up not needing it since classes were canceled). So with no other options, I decided I would try riding the LexTran bus this morning. I left my apartment at 9:25 and walked across the street to the bus stop. Then, at 9:30 the bus came, I paid my $1, and rode around as the bus made a few stops before getting to campus at 9:50! The bus ride was a complete breeze but I felt kind of weird...almost as if I were going to work in a big city like Chicago or New York, not just going to campus in Lexington! Ha! The good news is that I'm here and made it to school a whole hour before my first class! Though I hadn't exactly planned on getting to school by way of the bus this morning, I was forced to try something new and once again had to rely on my own independence. Everything is certainly a learning process and I'm glad I got to learn something new today...without many problems in between! :)
