Today was my second day at school. Here is how the day went. I left my house at 7:17 am. Thankfully I beat the rush hour traffic that I got stuck in yesterday when I was traveling around 9:45 am. Germans don't go to work so early! I walked down the street and when I heard the subway rumbling below me, I began to sprint down two flights of stairs just in time to board the S1 going south. I sat by myself, next to the window, facing forward (I get a little sick when I sit backwards on the subway). I went past two stops and got off at Potdamerplatz at 7:28. I took 2 elevators up and then walked one block to pick up my bus. I waited 5 minutes for my bus and I thought to myself, is it really going to become colder than this because I wish I would have brought my mittens and hat today.

I boarded the bus at 7:32 am and rode it until I got off at Kaiser-Wilhelmplatz at 7:45. A pretty fast trek today. Thankfully the BVG (the public transportation system) was running, with no strikes. Occasionally, they really like to take a day off and call it a "strike." Just kidding, I don't know why they strike, but it is ridiculous to me. Well, the day went on and I'll write more about school later, but I wanted to include one last picture of how you have to ride your bike here if you have two children!
