I have been commuting for about 3 weeks. I was just wondering when I can officially call myself a commuter? Is there a right of passage I have to go through? Do i get a secret decoder ring?

In 3 weeks I have:

Taken my truck keys off my keychain.
Watched a hawk pick up a snake right in front of me.
Almost got hit by a car.
Started to scoff at using my truck for any errands less than 5 mile distance.

What has the BF done to me?
