Now, hold your breath before I show you how much time I spent on the road..

Outbound (LA to Berkeley only): 15358 minutes

Total (round-trip time): 31062 minutes, or 517.70 hours, or 21.57 days (full 24hr day equivalent)

Spring semester was not as hectic as fall semester since I got used to this lifestyle. The cost was also significantly cheaper. Thanks to the WN sale, I booked most of my trips using WN points, so my total cost for spring could've been half of what I paid for fall semester, but unfortunately with the ticket I received from CHP, it bumped the commute cost to $2376.92, yet still much cheaper than last semester. 2/3 of my spring commute was on WN, with the rest on AS, and occasionally UA/NK. I made it! And that's all it matters!
