Metro Madness & Cloudy Days

So here in the Sunshine state, it's a full blast of summer, including heat, humidity, hurricanes, and the very famous cloudy/rainy days. It's so strange how it's so much more rainier in the summer, but it is. Many magnet high schools are deciding to put their new incoming freshmen through multiple long weeks of summer school. Can you say BLECH? Luckily, at Dash (Design and Architecture Senior High-which will be my high school :D), they don't make it toooooo terrible, all we do is art. Buttttttttttt, COME ON. I mean you could say it is only three and a half hours, nothing compared to the regular school day, but you must consider the fact that Dash is in the heart of Miami. Actually it's a little more north than Miami. More like the throat, or brain ;) . Anywho, to get to Dash is a very long process with many steps.

1. Get up @ 5:40 A.M. (yes, that is a 5, not a miss-spelling) to get ready to go to school
2. Pick up my bff @ 6:20
3. Have dad drive us to the Miami Metrorail station
   
4. Catch the 6:57 Metro
5. Catch a bus at 7:15
6. Arrive at Dash at 7:35

Yep. That's just a TAD early to be waking up in the summer, I think anyways. But I don't mind all to much. The metrorail is a great way to people watch, and man do I have a lot of new rules for you.

1. Guys, don't wear backpacks if your a business man!
This is probably the oddest things I've come across, and it's actually quite common. If your wearing slacks, a crisp button down, an expensive watch, and especially a matching over coat, DO NOT carry around a stuff-to-the-brim backpack. It looks so unprofessional, it's definitely not the most comfortable thing out there, and it gives you a hunchback!!!! But a brief case, and if you want something more casual, they make really great messenger bags, that don't look like man bags, and they look very nice. They fit a laptop and everything. Get rid of the bookbag.

2.Guys, please, tuck in your shirt.
I don't care if it's just a polo johnny, tuck in your shirt! Geez, do I really have to be your mother? If your going anywhere, whether it be to work, to lunch, golfing, it doesn't matter, tuck it in. I constantly see guys walking around with a button down or polo, just hanging over their jeans or slack. I MEAN COME ON. There is only ONE shirt you don't tuck in when going to a public place, and that's a graphics tee shirt. 'Nuff said.

3. Ladies, do you really need to put on your make-up in the train?
It's the girls' turn this time. Nobody wants to know how much makeup you have on. NO BODY. That's supposed to be unknown. You want people to think you don't have makeup on, just flawless skin. And let's face it, you get makeup all over your face with how much the train jerks around.

4. Don't draw people that are awake....
This is just an artist tip, because me and my friends like drawing people for practice on the trains, but if you draw someone that is awake, most likely it will be kind of creeper-ish. Just saying....
