think carrie, think!

I generally don’t mind finding my way around without a map. I’m just not very good at it. At all. So when I left my place late this morning, and didn’t want to fork over a $20+ cab fare to get from the train station to work, I knew I was going to be in for a mini-adventure. Luckily, people are nice, and directed me to the right bus to take. Sitting on the bus through Westchester for 20 minutes, I began to realize how beautiful of a place upper NY really is (and by upper NY, I mean 40 minutes north of Manhattan, which if you live in Manhattan, feels like upper NY). Peaceful, quaint, clean, fresh, and full of trees. Pretty much the exact opposite of Manhattan. So on this bus ride, I wanted nothing more than to lie down on a green grassy lawn, looking up at an incredibly blue sky (we’ve been having really great weather lately), and sleepily thinking my own happy thoughts. Totally cheesy, I know, but after a very full (and touristy) weekend in the city with my sister, I feel in need of a retreat. No such luck though, as I have a paper to write. Nearing the end of my bus ride, the bus driver was very kind and told me where to get off. A complete journey from A to B without any glitches.

This marks, I believe, the first time since I’ve been here that I’ve gotten to a destination without ever walking one foot in the opposite direction. Go me. Maybe I’m not in need of wearable maps as much as I thought.
