After having joined SMU for a while, I discovered that I had a direct bus that could bring me from my home to my office :)
And as it started service near my place, l could also get a seat for my entire trip there. This meant that I have, on average, 45 minutes of personal time every weekday.
Considering that I'm not the kind that sleeps on the bus, even though I could, I'm exploring how I can use this time most efficiently.
