Thanks Lised! Hopefully these findings will be useful to you! It always surprises me how long the walk from Columbus Circle to John Jay is too, since I picture them as very close together in my head.
One thing to think about if you’re ever writing about similar data in the future, where you’re measuring the same thing across multiple days, could be to format them in a table instead of writing out each data point as a sentence. Faster for the reader to skim/process that way–graphs/tables/charts are rhetorical, because they take your audience’s experience into consideration!
I find you data very interesting because the train times always change. Are there any other ways you can get to school using public transportation? I understand what you mean, the train never works the same the day after. Were you able to track the times each train gets to your stop (approximately)? Maybe if you take the train before if its a few minutes earlier then you’ll be on time. I take a 35-45minutes sometimes train ride and I deal with the same issue but I always make sure Im at the train statin by 7 when I have an 8am class so that ill make it in time. There is usually a train from 7-7;05am on 36st for the D train.
I find your data interesting because I get to know the exact time you take the train which is different from the time I take the train. I also agree with you, it’s a really long walk from the train station at 59th all the way to school which is sometimes why Im late myself too. I’d suggest probably getting up about 10 minutes earlier because those 10 minutes can make a difference and maybe wont have to be rushing most of the time.
