My ride took just as long as driving, I got to be outside and I showed up to class a/o x3 when all the other lazy kids were struggling to get out of their rooms.
It's what you make of it.
Only A/O x 3? Beats my old boss who usually had a GCS of 11. I'd knock him down to 10 but I never had the nerve to see if he would obey my commands.
