Since Tuesday, my usual tram line has been suspended.
The first month of classes, I didn't take the tram, and instead walked 20 minutes to campus after getting off the train. The weather was nice enough and mild, so I didn't mind so much. I enjoyed it, even. I like walking. With music, I could walk for hours.
But it's hardly as fun when it's raining cats and dogs and the wind makes it impossible to hold an umbrella. Which was the case yesterday. No tram. Another temporary line was added, but it stops 10 minutes away from campus. So that's 10 minutes under the rain.
Less than half my major came to class, and those who attended were, for the most part, drenched. Me included. Obviously, I wasn't in the best of moods.
And today, I was told that the line will stay suspended for 6 to 8 weeks. Apparently the railways collapsed. But... I couldn't see anything when I observed the worksite while walking. Maybe it's underground? Railways and such aren't my specialty, so I can't say if 6 weeks is a long time... But as a commuter, I am beyond annoyed.
This will ruin my mornings now. Add to that the cold and rain and wind... Ugh.
Just a silly little post.
