Isn´t it ironic... don´t you think?

My first exam period for this summer ended last thursday. So, officially I´m on holiday. It´s more like a time without lectures for me right now cause I´m not quite sure if i´m not doing more for studies right now than I did before exams... i´m trying to develop questions for my empirical part of my master thesis, i read like 50 pages a day of corporate governance, compliance and business law stuff. i should start to learn french again because i have an exam soon in that too. in between, while taking a break from studying i prepared the training for tonights swimming session, i think about ideas for the NST transition on friday and so on... isn´t it ironic? to have the feeling to work more on holidays than before?

On friday, my first day of "freedom" i helped my sister moving from St.Gallen to Zurich. As there were only three places in the van I went by train and took my sisters bike with me. But what happened? I drove to mainstation in St.Gallen locked the bike and went to buy a ticket for this bike. It took me like 3 minutes. When I come back there´s a flatfoot on the back wheel. I really don´t know why. I take next train to Zürich and try to figure out on the train ride which will be the fastest why to bring back a book at the library and then go to albisriederplatz with a bike you can´t ride. I decide to take the bike to central, leave it there go up and back with the tram, take it again into another tram. but is this a smart solution. friday around 4pm, some hours before zürifäscht starts? well i managed to find an empty spot for me and the bike in a tram. at some place i hear a voice announcing that the tram is not going to the indicate station but to another one. and people who wanna go there should switch to the tram which is just behind us. well, very nice to quit a crowded tram, move quickly through the even more crowded station and get in into another tram and all with a bike. i mean it was the first time i took a bike with me in a public transportation and of course they had to make this switch at this very moment...
