Same school the whole time (Penn), I just realized that taking the train was silly.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Punishingly Intricate
I took the train all the time between Boston and Wilmington when I was at BU. Thanksgiving was the worst! But I didn't have a car and it was way cheaper than flying at the time. Many times I wouldn't have a seat until New York.

Because books.
There are so many schools in Philly! And even out here in the suburbs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I was on the southbound train with some of you -- I'd like to think that I waved merrily at the northbound as it passed, but in reality, I was trying to keep my balance in the middle of an aisle (or possibly even in the space between cars --how on earth was THAT safe?!) Providence - White Plains for the first couple of years, PVD - PHL at the end. Good times, in a way that can only be "good" in retrospect or with the loose joints of a sleep-deprived 20-year-old.

I was a no-social-life-having heterosexual woman attending a women's college, so I was mostly excited about all the boys on the trains. I usually didn't get a seat until NYC.

Oh yeah, never a seat until NYC. The Kids Today don't know how good they have it, with the lack of overselling trains!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This just caused me to look at the Mega bus- I could take the bus to NY, get there at 1, buy fabric, and come back at 5 for very little money. Of course it is 14 hours of travel time to spend 2 hours shopping!

JetBlue between JFK and ROC is actually pretty cheap.

They have gone up- The Mega bus is about $40 and drops off within walking distance of the garment district. The plane is about $350, and then the cab to and from the airport.
