This has nothing to do with anything

Today I was waiting for my train and lots of random thoughts kept crossing my mind. For one thing I love staring at people while they wait for their trains. Well let me correct myself. I love to people watch while waiting for my train. Its just interesting to see peoples expressions, their posture, frustration, and impatience. I find it amusing that we keep staring down the tunnel waiting for the train. We all know it's coming eventually yet we constantly stare, impatiently, hoping that maybe this next look will make it come speeding down the tracks more quickly. But really, why are we all so impatient. Most people riding the train allot extra time just in case, so it's not like we are in a hurry.

*another thought*

I remember the first few weeks of living in Chicago and having to take the train somewhere. I was terrified out of my mind. I didn't know where I was going nor what to do. Even the turnstile where you enter your ticket was confusing. I'd always end up trying to force my ticket down the wrong way, facing the wrong side, or something of that sort. People behind me of course, always annoyed because the other two turnstiles were out of order and I'd forced a line of about 10 people to form. I would always be so embarrassed. Then trying to figure out which side I was supposed to get on, north or south, I would always be confused. I didn't know proper subway etiquette, still don't get some of it actually. I would be mortified at the thought of actually sitting in a seat, all the germs and homeless people that had sat there. I couldn't risk it. The most confusing part for me though, would be the exit. I'd get off the train, go up stairs and then I couldn't figure out which way I needed to leave to make it to my chosen destination the quickest. I would see everybody leaving the stop, without hesitation as to which exit to take, while I stood there, completely bewildered, looking at the exits, at least 4 for every stop. Of course I'd choose one and it would be completely wrong. Now of course, I'm a pro. I don't have to look and thing really hard. I know where I'm going and everything. But don't worry. I still have problems, especially when I'm going somewhere new. All in a days work.
