8:00 A.M. I wake up and get ready and head out of my house and make a left at the corner and make my way to the bus stop which is two minutes away.

8:05 A.M. On my way to the bus stop I pass by the church near my house which is a pretty big church with a parking lot that I use as a little shortcut to get home when I come back from school using the route of the Q25.

8:10 A.M. I get to the pharmacy on college point boulevard where I take the Q20A/B which will take me to main street and then I can transfer to a couple of other bus's or stay on the bus which leaves me five minutes away from school. Waiting for the bus doesn't take long because it comes at 8:13, I have my own schedule in my head so just in case I'm running late I know the next bus comes at 8:20 which means I'll have to run down the block to make it to school on time.

8:35 A.M. I get to main street which is VERY crowded and when I'm still tired I tend not to get off because Its a hassel to fight your way through the crowds of people there. You seriously need to elbow people and push them away because they really dont seem to care whether or not their privacy is being violated but I on the other hand do. Theres alot of things you could do on main street, for example If you feel like eating theres many places you can go such as Mcdonalds, Burger King, Joes Best Burger, Chinese Food or if you feel like shopping you can go to Macys on Main Street & Roosevelt, and just up ahead lies a sneaker store which also sells some clothes. I've seen a lot on main street and had my share of experiences there and come to learn the area and what it has to offer very well.

8:47 A.M. I get off at Queens Botanical Gardens, a beautiful place that has all sorts of flowers and places you can sit down and just relax. I've been to Queens Botanical Gardens many times for different occasions. While a couple of times I went to relax and hangout with friends, other times were for a wedding rehearsel for my mothers wedding, and then ofcourse the actual wedding day.

8:52 A.M. After walking from the Gardens, I finally arrive at my destination... School. Sadly I have to stay here from 9:00 A.M - 1:20 P.M. but it isnt that bad because it has its benefits, and thats my everyday journey =]
