Shoaib made it back home from work and was able to fill his stomach with his moms cooking before starting his commute to class. Standing in front of the door, he padded his pockets and checked his bag to make sure he got everything he needed before heading off. His phone vibrated from a text message. Shoaib checked the message, “Hurry up! Why your ass always take so long, I’ve been waiting outside”. His girlfriend seemed annoyed, but after leaving his house Shoaib was more concerned about checking if his car was locked and safe being parked on Utopia Pkwy. He eventually got in his girlfriends car and was finally on his way to the Kew Gardens train station. Shoaibs girlfriend, Monisha, probably thought to herself “Who is he taking so long to get ready for?” About 15 minutes later they arrived and Shoaib left the car and hurried down to the subway to catch the E train. The subway was carrying its usual pungent smell of pee and old wet rags. Its nice to see how our city can be so pleasant, no wonder everyone is always so happy around here. The E train arrived as Shoaib was running down the stairs and the carts were fairly empty making it easy for him to find a seat. Shoaib took off his bag after sitting down and pulled out his book, Mrs. Dalloway, and began to read from where he last left off. It was common for him to re-read some sentences because he was still trying to get used to the way the author wrote her novel. He soon arrived at Lexington and 53rd street and got out the E train to transfer to the 6 train going towards Brooklyn Bridge. The 6 train came by quick as usual and boarded on to eventually get off at 23rd street. Shoaib then walked up 23rd street towards Lexington Avenue and took a left to then reach 24th street where he ended his journey to Baruch college.
