It's really not that complicated. I've only once gotten on the wrong train, and that wasn't much of a problem because I just went back to where I came from.

Yeah, you get a hang of it, but it gets to be way too fucking expensive. I used to take the train into the city all the time until I realized how much money I was hemorrhaging. Public transportation sucks, no matter what people try to say.

Yeah busses too. Apparently a bus pass costs like $100, which ends up being MORE for me that if I'd just paid every time.

oh im not saying its hard its just aot of attention driving is so way more easier it seems the less money you have the harder things are / the more attention and detail you need to put into things for example
community college vs. expensive school
at the expensive one its so much easier cause its geared toward over unprivileged twats i had a 16k scholar ship at one point im sure as the money goes up the easier it gets like the school bush went to he openly admitted he didnt belong there but cause daddy he was there. cause his grand daddy.
pretty much having money makes you soft period dot. but who says soft is wrong . i love girls with a soft but not fat body as much as ones that have that rock hard body thats slammin aka fit body.

You're plain wrong here man. For one, community college is easy. I see people's work there and it's multiple choice out of a workbook and "half-essays." There is no real work being done there. My brother will attest to the difficulty of a "great school." He went from a local commuter school (Adelphi) to Columbia Engineering. He tells me everyday that he has never worked harder in his life. George Bush got in because of connections, but that doesn't mean that the work was easy. He was running C's, most definitely because professors were forced to pass him due to his dad, but he wasn't getting A's or B's. It's the same reason why when I applied to Columbia, with a 3.8 GPA and a 1560 on my SATs (Verbal and Math), I got looked over twice before being wait-listed and then subsequently rejected. On the other hand, the son of a CEO of Sony was looked over 5 times with a special board when he had a 1.8 GPA. Money can get you in, but money cannot get you good grades. Good grades at good schools require a lot of work.

wow i took the same course in various colleges then in a community one and they wanted super long eassys and the other one was way easier i guess it is relative to location to some degree.
shrug i was at more expensive schools and it was easier as i said they are geared to a different type of mind.

i was just in the city. 50 dollars each way for a bus ticket down, when to jersey and back twice 11$ per ticket... sucked.
within the city the subway and buses are awesome though, for 2 dollars per ride to go anywhere anytime? its fucking awesome.

NYC Subway is one of the best trip toys ever.

Hell yeah, I'd consider moving back to cincinnati if they did that.
