The light rail has become a big part of my life.  I moved into a place specifically for it's proximity to the Thomas/Central station.  I go to ASU and have ridden it every day this week, here's why:\n\n1. It's free, because I'm an ASU student\n2. It makes the walk at 6:30am in the dark seem kinda cool\n3. I enjoy sitting and not driving\n4. I finished a book with just my metro reading time\n5. I get some much needed \"me\" time\n6. I never have to deal with ASU's parking EVER AGAIN\n\nThanks light rail for keeping me sane and helping save me money until my goddamn FAFSA check comes in the mail.  I'm taking off a star because you don't run late enough to take back from work.\n\nI know you're thinking \"jesus, it sounds like this girl's life sucks hard core\".  Yeah, it really does.
