It was my favorite semester, although the class I was taking was not my favorite. Intro to
Chemistry
.
I took it at the
community college
nearby my parents house so that I could save some money on the tuition. Nearby meaning about 48 minutes away.
There was a community college much closer than Westcity Community College, but it was in a small town. Plus the girl I liked worked and lived in Westcity so my decision was made.
Thankfully my parents didn't say anything when Ia told them my reason for taking the summer class so far away was that there were good instructors there as opposed to junior colleges in the boonies. The argument made so much sense that I even believed it while saying it.
48 minutes the perfect amount of time for a drive so long as you don't have a busy schedule. Long enough that you get in the flow, in a sort of meditative state. But not too long that you get bored and begin wishing the ride would end already.
Plus it was the perfect time to listen to short-medium length albums.
