I walk now... When I'm feeling lazy, I take a bus, and super lazy, I take a taxi. It's nice out now, though, so I'm starting to just walk. It's not really that far. Smile

Walking: about 20 minutes
Taxi (on days I bring my laptop): about 5 minutes, which is lovely, as I get 15 extra minutes of sleep.
