In the morning, I bike to get to English class. I usually don't bicycle to my second class because it is so close to my dorm and it would be inconvenient because I have to cross a street. Now I have to cross this same street to get to English class but it isn't as much of a hassle as it is in the afternoon to my second class. I know everyone reading this is thinking, "Big deal. You're in a college. The streets are made for students to cross all day long whenever they want." This isn't one of those streets.
I have to cross Tennessee Street. For those of you unaware of Tennessee Street, this is a main road that goes right above Florida State University. So as I get to that intersection I stand, I wait, and I stand some more. Cars come flying past me while DeGraff Hall looms overhead like a giant tower. I can look down the road to see how many cars are coming and just catch a glimpse of the sign for the club that reads "Dayglo Party". The wind hits me from every car and I can feel myself being thrust off of my bike but I hold steady so I don't look stupid to all of the other people, doing exactly what I was doing, sitting, and waiting.

I can relate to this because i also have to cross Tennessee St. every morning since i live in Degraff. It is frustrating having to wait for the "walk" sign to go off because it usually takes forever. Standing and waiting in the blaring heat doesn't help either. I never look forward having to walk this walk in the morning :(
