BOS-JFK

here's a poor decision i recently made. caught up in amazement over jetblue's $55 one-ways from boston to new york, i rashly purchased one for monday afternoon. when i called my father to tell him i was flying down, he said "flying? i mean that's fine, but why didn't you just take the bus?" hmm. good question for which i don't really have an answer. in addition, the flight got in to far-away JFK rather than close and clean LGA. however, i will not make the same mistake again this year, as i am now saving every possible penny for my upcoming postgrad jaunts through asia and africa.
after rushing in a cab to the airport, i was confronted with long lines and bullshit. lacking a government-issued ID, i was subject to someone writing "no gov't id" on my boarding pass and a very thorough patdown. i made it onto the plane and we took off. the plane was surprisingly empty and i spent the flight watching direct-tv.
after touching down in new york i took the much-maligned air-train to the E. upon getting off the air-train i was surprised by a five-dollar fee. paying at the end of a ride always feels so wrong. anyway i hopped onto the subway and took the horribly long 1.5-hr ride back to morningside heights. that'll be the last time i fly boston-ny on my own dollar.

the end.
