nothing goes right

okay... i did to make it to my 9am class today, due to faults that are completely none of my own! despite the freezing weather this morning, i got up and got to the station on time. my mate drove me there, otherwise it is impossible because the buses are always full when they reach my bus stop. we had to wait in the car a little while seeing that there is no way to look out of the window - too cold, layer of frost, tried to use water and wiper, water in tank frozen. that was the first part of the fiasco.

by the way, it is suppose to be SPRING now.

everything was going smoothly until i waited for the train. the announcement was there were engineering work between willenden green and stanmore which will cause 'minor' delays on the rest of the jubilee line. after waiting for 5 minutes, the sardine can arrive. hopped up and on the way we go. apart from a lil packed, everything else was alright, as in the trains are running normally. until it reached southwark. got stucked there for 15-20 minutes. all the passengers on the train with me were to leave the train in this station due to a defect. the conductor said it was like some smell coming from the carriages some where in the middle. thus, everyone got off and waited for the next train. arriving late and full. only 2 person at my door managed to squeeze in. then there the second train coming in. alas, it was full as well.

so i gave up. stormed out the station and hitched a bus to another campus meaning i skipped the 9am class. it was lucky that i know the buses around london or otherwise i would be stuck there.


what a terrible morning.

got a sandwich, bloody broad daylight robbery! £2.30 for a prawn mayo sandwich. it is as expensive as m&s but far away in terms of quality. and i'm still hungry.
