Interestingly, I have never missed<\/p>\n<p>my stop before. I hope I haven\u2019t just jinxed myself!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back to the topic of keeping myself occupied on my commute.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few, I would say unique, \u201cactivities\u201d that I have seen<\/p>\n<p>others do. There was this lady who got on the train with me and<\/p>\n<p>when she got on, she immediately took out her knitting needles<\/p>\n<p>and yarn and started knitting a scarf. She finished the scarf just<\/p>\n<p>before she was about to get off the train. I was pretty amazed at<\/p>\n<p>how quick she was.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then there was this other time when I saw a guy having two pizzas<\/p>\n<p>within 30 minutes. I don\u2019t know if I should be more surprised by the<\/p>\n<p>fact that he had two whole pizzas or that he finished it so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s got me wondering&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Why did he have two pizzas? Has he always been a big eater?<\/p>\n<p>Why did he have to eat on the train? Is he a very busy person<\/p>\n<p>and could only afford to eat on the go?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that I think about it, people watching might be a fun way to<\/p>\n<p>pass time on the train too! Is there something unique or fun you<\/p>\n<p>guys do on your commute to work or play? I would love to know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you do on your commute? &nbsp; That is something I have been interested to know because I struggle to find something to do on the train, now that I am an &#8220;adult&#8221;. &nbsp; When I was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":973,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[276,5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-972","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-native","8":"category-learning","9":"article cf"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/972","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=972"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/972\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":979,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/972\/revisions\/979"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fruitfulenglish.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
