Oliver’s Commute

It was a gloomy Monday morning; Oliver tentatively woke up at 7:15am but snoozed a few times till 8am. Once that final 8am alarm rang, his sheets flew off, he stood up had a stretch, did his morning bathroom routine, and once that ice cold water hit his body in the shower, he was officially awake. Music playing and clothing flying everywhere he put together an outfit that was both comfortable for school and appropriate for work. Flying down the steps of his walk up building he picked up a small iced coffee and walked east to the R, W train. It was foggy and misty morning, which reminded Oliver of a high school football practice. A light shined on his head- he forgot his umbrella. He had to turn around and conquered a massive amount of ground in order to be on time for his 9AM. Thankfully he was able to get the umbrella from his apartment without wasting too much time. Back on the road, there was an abundance of tall good-looking girls while walking on Prince Street, the heart of SOHO. But with those pretty girls, came many businessmen smoking cigarettes on their walk to their destination. Finally, Oliver made it to the train station, once he got there he noticed he had insufficient fare on his metro card so he had to quickly refill. Waiting on the line, while watching a train pass, he was getting frustrated. He then got on the next subway, went north to 23rd street. In need of some potassium, he was able to buy a banana from a cart and get to class on time. Before walking into class, Oliver noticed a man with long red hair and freckles who was smoking a vaporizer blowing a cloud of smoke which blasted in someone’s face.
