Stranded and Alone

Oct 26, 2008 12:18

Last Tuesday my mom left for Taiwan due to a family emergency. Don't worry though, because my grandmother has undergone emergency surgery and is slowly recovering. My mom's gonna be gone for at least a month, so I'll be going around on my own for a while.

...and I'm stranded. >.< Hahaha ( Read more... )

Ahhh you should've asked me! I just got back.

crystalxapple October 26 2008, 23:20:56 UTC

I did. I tried this morning. But you didn't reply on AIM. So yeah. =( See you tomorrow?

firedawn October 26 2008, 23:23:43 UTC

:( Yeah I was still sleeping... probably should call me if you want a way to reach me for sure. Sorry I didn't answer! ♥ tomorrow.

Aw that sucks. Is there no bus, no train to get back there? There should be SOMETHING in terms of public transport...

wow shabu shabu and lamb. So classy.

Hahahaha. Thanks. XD

There is a way to get back...but I'd need somebody to drop me off at the Gold Line stop at Pasadena. It's 30 mins to get from Pasadena to Downtown. And then from there it's another 1.5 hrs during non-traffic hours to get to UCLA. yeah. Long ride. But I'm back to UCLA though. =)

Heh. Well, if it would make you feel better, this is how my commute home would look given my cheapness:

1. Take Unitrans (UC Davis bus system) to campus, go to library area.
2. Take interUC shuttle to Berkeley library.
3. Find BART station, take BART to SF.
4. Get on CA Shuttle bus at BART station.
5. 7 hours........
6. UNION STATION! GLORY ON THE EARTH!

ahahaha. I have not yet done this because most of the time I can find a ride to Oakland, and I have yet to take the CA Shuttle bus since I have only taken the now-defunct Megabus. On the way up I always happen to get a ride........

Yeah, I totally do not like to go back and forth between Davis and LA. That's why I don't want to go home this winter. Plus honestly.........the central valley is so damn boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@_@ That sounds HORRIBLE. And then you have to tack on a ride/walk to Chinatown. Wowz. Just hop on the Gold Line cuz they don't really check the people for tickets anyway. Plus, it's one stop.

Well, in any situation, I'm glad that we have it mapped out. Hopefully we'll never have to use it. I could probably find a bus that'll take me from Pasadena to Arcadia, maybe the mall? But from there it's still another 10+ blocks to get home. I'd rather ask my mom's friend to pick me up instead. Haha.

Central valley...is...like Bakersfield?
