It must be something about trains. And maybe cappuccino. When I read blogs, the people who write them seem to catch a lot of trains.
I walked in to work yesterday and announced my decision: I love trains, but I hate buses. This morning reinforced my conclusions. At the train station, I spoke to the same really nice girl who I buy my coffee from seemingly every day, whose name I still have yet to learn. And on the train, I got my pad out and started scribbling illegibly (I had forgotten my glasses) and envisioning a future of catching trains and drinking coffee and writing for the Daily Planet. At the bus station however, the seats are uncomfortable and the buses are late. And the bus today was being driven by a learner bus driver. I didn't have a problem with that at all, every bus driver's got to learn somehow, but that doesn't mean it didn't still make me nervous, especially with the tight bend out of the bus station and the roads full of parked vehicles in Winchester. Thankfully, it's only a short bus journey. Which also means I'm still full of that initial coffee when I get in to work.
So, where do I work? Well, at the moment, at INTECH Science Centre and Planetarium just outside of Winchester, Hampshire, UK. I say at the moment because I'm on a summer placement. The rest of the year I'm a student in Southampton, studying physics. And as I have work tomorrow, I'm going to call it a night and get some rest so i can actually be on time for the 0743 that I miss every morning. Catch up soon. :]
