I'm on my way from work now, and an incredible banging can be heard from the closest train. It sounds as if it's running on square wheels. I cannot imagine who took the wise decision to let that train run through the subway, ruining the rails. It strikes me that what our subway system lacks the most is management. There cannot be any economic or service reason to run that train.

My day has so far been fine, if not a little bit confused. When I went out the door this morning, I didn't wear my contacts. That sais something of how tired I usually am when I go out the door. Now, after literally having my nose glued to the monitor, I am on my way home to fetch my contacts and my laptop so I can attend a statistics tut. After that I'm off to get a matress for Thu who's coming from Switzerland to visit tomorrow. I'm really looking forward ...

Today I have done what everyone plans to do and no-one ever does (1). I've been studying statistics at uni all day! And I actually got quite a bit done, covering a fourth of the material and several weeks worth of tutes. Then I had a chat with David who's in Bankok, and now I'm on my way to choir practise. This has been a dramatic improvement of yesterday where I played with my ensemble in church and then waited for falling stars at night. I didn't get anything smart done during the day (I had a lovely chat with a great friend of mine, though ) and although they had predicted hundreds and thousands, I only got to see two falling stars. Oh well, I made a wish anyway.
