Price Movements

What else would I talk about? Uni started today. It feels very surreal. I can't really make myself believe that I'm actually going to be going there regularly for the next 4 years and I have to make it a way of life. I feel like today was just a one-off trip in the middle of an endless sea of hoilday. Four months of holiday is very hard to break out of. Very very hard. I have to actually go back tomorrow. And I have to attend lectures and stuff. Weird. Transport is frickin expensive. It's prickin my wallet. And stickin in my mind.

Two lectures tomorrow. 11am and 12pm. Then off wherever. That's the cool thing about uni - it's right next to town. You can shop between lectures :D No uniforms to worry about either :D You are just another member of the public. It's liberating. Speaking of liberating, I went into school this afternoon on my walk from the bus-stop (on Priestly) to my car (at Paul's) to see Miss Restieaux. I'm so glad I'm not there anymore. No regrets at all.

Can I be bothered signing up to clubs and stuff? I don't know.

Finally! Msn has let me sign in. It was "too busy" before. Huh. Stupid thing.

I have to read 27 pages in preparation for the history lecture tomorrow...

I finish uni at 12pm tomorrow. I might head into town. Maybe. If I can be bothered.


Transport
Bus: $5.40 one way (5 stages) $10.80 both ways
or
for 10 rides - $42.00 (5 stages) which is $4.20 a ride
or
unlimited monthly pass for $129.00 which is at least $3.23 a ride
Ferry: $7.20 one way $13.40 return (gags)
or
for 10 trips - $54.00 which is $5.40 a ride
Car-pool depends on who else is going in and when. About $7 for parking. Maybe $2 - 7 a week for petrol depending on how many go.

Bus is cheaper. Still really expensive though. The unlimited montly pass is best if you're planning on making bus your only form of transport.

Ferry:
Half-moon Bay to Auckland: Auckland to Half-moon Bay:
7:00 11:30
7:30 1:30
8:15 3:30
10:15 4:15
12:15 5:15
5:45
6:30

That's transport. I should have been doing my History reading instead of doing this, but there's only so many reasons of why Europe's population increased that you can take in one go. Plenty to read on the bus/ferry tomorrow.

It's well past midnight. Time to scram to bed.

Goodnight.
