I can t understand why they take up spaces in lots that are specifically for commuters. They have North Lot One and North Lot Two. After I make that walk to my class building and find that my class, or classes, has been canceled, then my walk is for naught. I would have driven a half an hour for nothing, and my day, and not to mention my gas, is wasted to come to a class that has been canceled for any reason. If I m lucky and I fall right asleep, I might get six hours of sleep, but if I toss and turn all night, then I might get only four or five hours of sleep.
Most residents don t understand what it s like to be a commuter.
They can t understand why parking is such a big deal to some people. But after you ve woken up before the sun and driven many miles to school, only to discover that you have to walk rather far to get to those classes, you ll know what it s like to be a commuter. For residents, if a class is canceled, they can merely go back to their rooms, but for a commuter, it becomes a waste of time to drive to school and a waste of gas, which costs money. And, if you happen to be a commuter who works as well as go to school, that waste of time means that you ve lost a chance to work, and now the day is wasted. A commuter s life is not the easiest way in the world to get an education, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for something you really want.
