And I'm Off To a Fan-friggin-tastic Start!

My weekend has been marvelous thus far, and it's only 10:00 on saturday morning! So i paid the equivalent of $60 for a train ticket to see my cousin in Cambridge today. The train left at 9:05, so i was up early and waiting for the 30 minute-interval bus from my dorms to the train station at 7:50, knowing that the bus takes maybe half an hour to get there... the bus pulled up at about 8:40. So i'm riding the bus praying that he'll step on it, and then realize that I have forgotten my ticket. It doesn't really matter , though; the bus didn't get to the train station until 9:10. I then found out the British railway system keeps no record of who purchases train tickets, so had I been there I would have been out of luck anyways, and the cheapest ticket i could get (an hour later) would have cost over a hundred dollars, one way, and i would have had to purchase a return ticket as well. So basically i could have taken my money and flushed it down the damn toilet; however, that probably would have been more fun to see and i would have been able to sleep. What an amazing weekend this is gonna be!!!
