So we are about 3 weeks in to the fall semester at Fordham, and it feels like time is moving faster than ever, so it felt appropriate now to write about my experience. On my first day of school, I felt the pressure already, it was the FIRST day, the commute from Rockland County to the Bronx and Manhattan, is annoying. on Monday and Thursday's, I have to take the coach bus to 42nd, since I have classes at Lincoln Center, then take the train or walk, most likely walk because I'm a new yorker, so it seems natural. To come to school those both days, seem like a good trip, im not too tired since I have l have classes in the evening, but then I have to come back....and that is tiresome. On Wednesday's, I have classes at Rose Hill so that commute is bus to another bus to white plains to the metro north to Fordham, sigh I am exhausted just writing that. When I get to school, all my classes are located in Keating Hall so it is a walk from the main entrance, so Im in class sitting and trying to concentrate on what the teacher is saying because im so into it and I truly love the class but I am so damn tired from just getting to school. Moral of the story: DON'T commute unless you live 5-20 minutes away, like i used to when i lived in the Bronx but at that time I was in community college, not Fordham, so now my only hope is that I somehow get scholarship for dorming for the spring semester and so on.
