Experiencing The Fun

All the while I have been wanting to drive on the Interstate System, a marvel in the field of construction, a perfectly designed system, created by the Americans in the late 1950s with the intention of traveling across the whole country without ever having to touch a traffic light or stopping. So doesn't that sound like an adventure, traveling all over the country, swerving and sweeping all along, and never having to stop, except for gas breaks and such obviously. For that matter the Interstate System just celebrated its 50th year in 2006 adding miles of road networking more places.
So here I was, driving for over a year, with the intention of enjoying a long ride all by myself ( even though I have traveled a lot with family and friends, I always wanted to DO IT myself, drive and enjoy the thrill)... And lo and aho here came the fun. I got to go on my beauty, my gorgeous Red Altima. I got a job ( yes another thing to be proud of) and a car to drive all by myself.
Its been only a week since I started doing this, and how much fun it could be? Well, I don't feel it fun anymore.
Here's what I hate; Reasons (not excuses)
  1. Getting up in the morning. Atleast now its sunny and bright even before 7, but what will happen in a few months?
  2. Having to hurry to work, keeping up the time.
  3. Warm my car and heat my engine; wait (those frustrating 1-2 mins)
  4. After all this trouble, the traffic
  5. Interstate is never predictable, you'll take an hour to reach work no matter what time you leave the house, so there's no set peak hour traffic, its always peak and an hour.
  6. Work, Work, Work, no lunch break (that way I can leave early)
  7. Still the same story on my way back, only adding to it is the tiredness.
Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy more trips other than work trips, and get to feel the speed and the thrill. Here goes for myself and all- DRIVE SAFELY
