Used to be one of the rotten ones
Today I should have a tutorial. I got up at 8am, got ready and left the house by 8:40. I got my bus into Bolton, walked across town, bought my ticket into Manchester and got my train. It was *packed*, I could have got the next one, but I thought "I might only just make my class!", so I got the packed train. Get off my train in Manchester (Oxford Road if you must know!) and walked to my campus. All still while I was half asleep. When I get about half way to campus I get a text.
This text said that there was a power cut. Suzy had gone to Starbucks (the closest coffee shop not effected by the power cut). The suitcase she has lent me is in the building.
When I arrive at the building I find some of my classmates stood around, wanting to know what the hell was happening. Eventually, a woman comes out with a megaphone to announce that the building was going to closed all day and that we were to go home, or at least we couldn't stay there!
Suzy came back and got the case out of the building and we walked to the station.
Two good things have come out of today at least - I have a suit case for NY and I have ballet tickets for Thursday night (Snow Queen at the Palace Theatre, Manchester).
(oh yeah, stayed up late last night talking with peke - now I'm just trying to see how many entries I can make mentioning her... *g*)
