Daniel’s Commute to Baruch – Daniel Namdar

Roaring sounds from his alarm clock spontaneously wake him from his much needed sleep. Contemplating whether or not he should buy himself a few more minutes of sleep with the snooze button, but Daniel decides otherwise and jolts out from his bed. He yawns then expresses aloud, “Let’s do this!” Daniel is determined that he will conquer all obstacles the day has to offer him, despite the many challenges he will have to overcome. Walking down the staircase that leads to the train platform, he looks down at the ground with baseball cap onto disguise his presents.  Daniel is too tired to interact with fellow commuters that he is friendly with. Melissa, who is one individual that Daniel normally interacts with, acknowledges that Daniel is attempting to disguise his presence. Melissa is angered, thinking that Daniel is trying to ignore her. She thinks to herself, “What have I done wrong, why is Daniel ignoring me today.” Once Daniel secures his privacy on the train, he decides to take out his book assigned to him in English class, Mrs. Dalloway. Daniel uses his opportunity to get ahead on some reading.
