I actually want to keep specific personal shit out of this blog, but I calculated for fun the time I spent travelling wednesday november 16th, and I was kind of surprised with the ridiculous results.
I had three things to do that day: 1) attend class 2) eat at my aunt’s 3) have theatre practice.
1) is in Amsterdam, 2) and 3) are in Bovenkarspel. I live in Leiden.
So travelling back and forth between these places yielded these results:

so yeah, when theres prototype teleporter technology, ill volunteer as (the first) human guinea pig 
I’d describe myself as a lazy, barely motivated person so I kind of deserve these traveltimes, but I bet there’s scores of people who do this shit daily and feel it’s necessary or worthwhile or acceptable. Shoot me if I become like that, k?
