Battle of Distance


Okay, so this isn't about which community college is better or what not - I couldn't care less. This is about which one is futher from mi casa. "Why?" you ask... well when I tell people about taking a summer class and that it's at TCC they have this look like "why is she driving all the way to Tacoma when she could go right down the street to Highline"

JUST KNOW that Highline is not just down the street, ACTUALLY (according to my friend named mapquest) it is 13.32 miles away and it takes approx. 21 minutes to get there - and that's w/o traffic - WHILE Tacoma Community College is 11.19 miles and takes approx. 18 minutes. Okay, Okay... so i understand its only a few minutes difference BUUUUUT think about the actual drive.

To get to Highline Community College I have to take Pacific HWY which is covered with construction and stop lights, and on the other hand to get to TCC I can take the tide flats and hop on to the 5 for a sec and then the 16 west waaaay less headache than PACHWY. Funny thing is I still make the trip to Highline every Thursday for open gym (bball) - but that's one day a week vs the four for math class.

p.s.
i live in Tacoma
