My Commute

Hi everyone,

 

            I guess I’ll start off by saying that I live in Hillside, NJ and that I travel by car to get to my classes at the College of Staten Island. It’s not a far trip. It only takes me about 20 minutes to get there (16 minutes according to mapquest.com) without traffic. I take the Goethals Bridge into Staten Island. For those of you who have never driven on the Goethals, it is a very narrow bridge. You feel as if the car next to you is literally inches away from your vehicle. It took me a while to get used to driving on it.

            I would have considered taking public transportation to get to school, but unfortunately there is no bus that goes directly into Staten Island. If I did choose to use mass transit to get to school I would have to take a bus into Manhattan (which takes 40 minutes) and then take either the ferry or another bus into Staten Island (which takes 30-40 minutes). Therefore I decided it would just be better if I drove into school.  

 

I’m still thinking about what I should do for my project. Some of my possibilities would be to either use imovie or PowerPoint. The ComicLife application might be interesting to use as well. Anyway I guess I still have a little bit more time to decide.
