what my walk to/from school looks like.

Every morning, I take the train to work.

It’s a 30 minute commute, which I don’t mind at all (I love train rides).

It also gives me some time to wake up (…or read The Hunger Games…)

since 2 days a week, I have to wake up at 5:30

in order to get to work on time.

And let me tell you,

for a person who never had a college class before the hour of 10 am,

this is sort of painful.

Anyway, when it’s time to get off my train,

I have a 10 minute walk from the train station to my school.

On some mornings,

I get there when the sun is just coming up

and it’s really hard to put one foot in front of the other

when all I want to do is go back to bed (…or read The Hunger Games…).

Luckily for me, the route I take is beautiful,

which sort of helps with the exhaustion (….or Hunger Games withdrawals…).

After I was done at school today,

I took the following photos during my leisurely walk back to the train station.

I imagine this is going to be amazingly gorgeous in the fall and winter.

Think of the changing leaves / falling snow?

I kinda can’t wait!

 

P.S. I leave for the U.S. in a little over a week…. and I am 150 pages into the 3rd installment of The Hunger Games…. there’s no way that book is going to last me all the way home.  America is a looooong way away from Germany in terms of book pages.  It looks like I’m gonna need to make a last minute trip the bookstore.  Either that, or Suzanne Collins is going to need to write a 4th book in the next 48-72 hours.  Personally, I prefer the latter to the former, but that’s just me.
