fun on the cta

Here are a few random, recent happenings on the Red Line that have made my commute to school that much more interesting.

Someone pukes at the other end of my car. Those on that side then run to my end of the car in a frenzied panic.

"Attention customers...the train is running late, so we're going to skip the next three stops and go straight to Fullerton." I then shove my way through the mass of people in the car to jump off the train before it starts moving again so I can start walking and get to class on time.

"Attention customers...we'll be moving a little slowly because there are currently three trains ahead of us." Red line then inches along until we apporach the subway.

It's fun being a commuting student. :-P No, really. I do enjoy my commute. Tons of reading time. :-D

Random unrelated sidenote: Listening to Beethoven's 5th when it's really dark and rainy and creepy out is pretty cool.
