Thanksgiving

So I arranged to take the 9:00 train home, same as a few weeks ago. But last night I find out that city buses don't run on Thanksgiving, and that would have cut walking distance in half. So I got up at 7 to make sure I had plenty of time to walk the distance. The train station is close to two miles from my dorm, it was -1 Centigrade, and I had my laptop in my backpack. Also, I have never seen campus so empty. It was a little creepy.

Last time the train was one car, and about half full. Today it was five or six cars and overbooked. Fortunaely my car had single seats on one side so I didn't have to sit next to anybody. There was, unfortunately, a noisy two-year-old nearby so I spent the entire trip under my headphones. Last night it was really cold, so a rail broke and we stopped for half an hour to fix it. We were moving all of five minutes before we stopped again for some kind of malfunction with the track changer or whatever. With all this, the trip was almost an hour longer than planned. But I'm home. Thankfully.

I can't believe it was finally lupus.
