Melissa got up Monday morning, made breakfast for her son and got dress. After taking ten minutes to think about her outfit, put it on and headed out the door. On her walk she remembered she forgot her glasses and pencil case, but it was too late to turn back. She  walked towards the corner of her residence which is Hegeman street and made a right toward the L train station, the stop is New Lots, Brooklyn. On her walk she remembered she forgot her seeing glasses and pencil case, but it was too late to turn back. As Melissa proceed toward the train, it was raining, she notices the same people walking with her almost every morning, rushing to the train as if they were late. Melissa noticed that she got to the train station in one song on her ITunes list, then noticed how long the train would take to get to the station, which was five min. On the L train going toward 14th street which is 13 stops, it was crowded but she managed to find a seat. While sitting Melissa decides to reads her book Mrs. Dalloway until her destination to board the six train to 23st. While on the train 3 stops from her destination, this Caribbean man asks her if she knows what ethnomusicology means, it was early she replied “the study of cultural music such as drums what they were used for like war, weddings, and rituals”. The man was surprised that she knew the answer and said “I asked you because of your hair, glad you know”. As the man walked to the other side of the train, he began to sing and talk about the importance of the drum while making beautiful cultural sounds with his drum. Melissa was happy and relieved she knew the answer to his question while on a crowded train. At her destination , Melissa decides to run inside Dunkin Donuts for a mocha coffee fix before entering class.
