Valentines Thursday!

Happy 2 week late Valentines day!!! This year Valentines day happened to also be the day that I was legally able to drive people. I had all these great plans with friends but as the date grew closer the excuses were thrown at me like eggs 'Family Birthday' 'Basketball Game' 'Homework' and I ended up giving up on this whole fun friend night. As of this day I have only driven about 5 people. 3 friends and one a complete stranger who was a cousin of one of my 3 friends. After the reality of gas money shows up driving isn't nearly as fun. My gas station sells one gallon of regular for $3.69 , you may think that is a lot but there is only a certain brand of gas I buy (as dumb as that may sound. I have about a 10-15 gallon tank. My car gets 26.4 MPG and I get $50 a month for gas. According to googlemaps my house is 4 miles from school, there and back is approximately 8 miles a day. If you count the average 4 weeks in every month, 5 of them being school days that comes out to 40 miles a week at least. Which is a little under 2 gallons per week times 4 which is 8 gallons. So as you see unless you're rich or have an expendable amount of money for gas driving isn't that great. If I ever move to the city, I'd probably invest in public transit instead. This has nothing to do with photography but it was what I was thinking about on Valentines day which is when that post was due so it counts....... right?
