Commute to Baruch

Jasmine woke up to the sound of her annoying alarms, showered, got dressed and was ready to head to school. She walked out the door and the front gate locking the doors behind her. She walked to the end of the bus and proceeded to wait for her bus in the rain and gloom. She could take either the Q8 or the Q41 in the direction of the Jamaica 165st Terminal. She took the bus that came first which was the Q41. She got off the bus at Sutphin Boulevard- Archer Avenue and walked 10 ft to the train. She swiped her metrocard and walked down the stairs to the front car of the Manhattan Bound E train. She smelled pee and garbage while waiting in the station. She got on the train and was headed towards 53rd St-Lexington Avenue. When she was about at Kew Gardens which is about 2 stops into her 7 stop trip on the E train, she noticed the smell of coffee stood out among the other gross smells of the subway. Adrienne looked at the young girl who stood next to her and wonder if she could smell the coffee from her travel mug. She noticed the girl was wearing beats and wondered if the girl bought them, got them as a present or eve n perhaps stole them. She noticed the girl was also sweating and wondered how she could possibly be sweating with the how cold and rainy the day was. Jasmine was a dream land until she got to 53rd st- Lexington Ave where she bolted off the train and ran up the escalator to transfer to the next oncoming Brooklyn Bridge bound 6 train. She got on the train and her next stop would be 23rd street. She got out at 23rd street walked up the stairs and headed north east on Park Ave South towards East 24th street. She turned right onto East 24th street and then walked straight down to Baruch College.
