Catching a bus during peak hour is always in interesting experience. The people in Warsaw could really teach the Japanese a thing or two about cramming people into confined spaces.
Yesterday, I had to go to a training session on something that was featured in Bad Science so I was already in quite a good mood. Stupid training sessions that start at 10 on a Friday morning and then classes until 8:20pm.
It turned out I had to walk a lot further than I'd anticpated (in -15 degree weather) as the engine of the bus caught on fire a few stops before I was due to get off. Good start to the day :)
In news that has made me even happier, when I got home last night I discovered that Neil Gaiman is appearing at Empik on Nowy Swiat (book store, centre of city) on Monday 17th March from 5:00pm-7:00pm. I was really happy for about 2 seconds, I love this author and as I found out last night during a discussion on short stories, many of my students do too. Then I realised the times. Half-way through my lessons :/ Damnit.
What a great end to a perfectly horrible week.
