Re: Get your frustration out here.

I'll say it...the thing that gets my goat is living where I live.

Let's say I need to get out to Irmo for a practice. I either have to hop on the Carolina Shuttle or walk, either of which will take a good ten or fifteen minutes. (I often take the shuttle, just because it's a rather demanding walk. You've never seen so many stairs in your life.)

Then I get to my car at last, hoping that it works properly. (This has been an issue at least once this season.) Then I start driving, and driving, and driving.

Thirty minutes is the usual to get from the Bates lot at USC to Irmo High. Subtract about ten if you're at the Colonial Center (which I don't park at, because I lack an event pass).

I swear, when they invent teleportation, they'd better put one in Preston and one in Irmo High.

<Edit>In the defense of Preston, however, I will say that at this point in time, I wouldn't live anywhere else on campus. Not that I can, really, as I've already registered and picked a room.</edit>
