What a Day!

I'd like to start off by thanking Amtrak for deciding to not electrocute me if its trains were to run today. It's a nuisance for Rhode Island to be flooded, but it's not my fault--or is it? Anyway, I got most of my fare refunded, and I managed to get on a Megabus to NYC at 2:30. I loved Megabus, especially since it was a double decker. It claimed to have Free Wi-Fi, but what's the point if internet disappears once you leave the bus depot? I also don't understand why there's a service called, "Free Public Wi-Fi" when it doesn't do anything to juice up your internet. EPIC FAIL! Unlike Amtrak, where I could legit concentrate and get work done, I couldn't really do that on the bus. I have a 7-page paper, a detailed budget, a schedule for The Emerson Channel, and Kevin Bright post work to do. I guess that'll have to wait until this weekend!

The trip to NYC was fairly smooth, and we only hit traffic when we got closer to our destination. We bypassed the Bronx and drove through Harlem, from 153rd Street all the way to 28th Street. It felt like an eternity. No wonder I prefer taking the subway! Speaking of which, I had to take another bus from NYC to NJ, and that meant taking the subway from 28th Street to Times Square/Port Authority. Once I got to the bus terminal, I grabbed dinner, and just made the 8:00 bus. Why that bus was crowded at a late hour, I'll never know.

I'm home now, resting. I prepared some notes to deliver at my grandfather's funeral tomorrow. Thankfully, it's supposed to be nice weather. I'm not looking forward to traveling: NJ to Long Island to Brooklyn to Manhattan to Boston. On top of that, guess what my Friday will look like: sleep, 7AM registration, sleep, 4-hour class, "Speechless," and post-production supervising for the Kevin Bright class. I really need to sleep in this weekend!
