Taking public transportation and not having a car at the ready after campus has definitely made me have to re-think my errands. For example, today I needed to go to the post office after campus. I had to find one that closes after 5 on the way to or near home, fortunately that wasn't difficult. Then I had to leave half an hour earlier than I would have had to if I drove, especially considering there is one a couple blocks from campus. Then, Google maps had the wrong timetable and I had to wait 15 min for the next one. Fortunately, I did make it to the post office with plenty of time to spare. Something I have to constantly remind myself of, is that I can't just meet-up with friends who live near campus for dinner anymore, unless they pick me up and drop me off at the public transport stop. It's going to take some getting used to, but at least it saves me a bundle in parking permit fees and frustration :)
