A long and boring morning

Hey everyone!

Today I've had a bad day. The train was over and hour late and I was half an hour late to school. We started off with english class so me and my friend came in just in the middle. Yet, I didn't have my teacher as a contact on the phone so I couldn't call her to tell her that I was late. For some reason I thought "It actually feels pretty good to be late!", probably just because I've never been so late to school for an actual valid reason and getting accepted. So here's the story all over. It all started with that I was going to school by train. We're going two and a half Swedish miles (25 kilometers) to school everyday which takes about 10 minutes. The train depatures at 7:21 AM and arrives at 8:31 AM. School starts 8:10 AM. So we got on the train and it depatured about 1 minute after we went on it. When it went a bit it started to slow down and almost stop, then it continued in normal speed which we though was normal. Then the train stopped completely and we didn't know what happened at all. I said "Oh well, I think we're going late to school today.". Then someone came in and told us that the train was going to restart, so we were having something to wait on. The air conditioner stopped and we became confused. A few seconds later the lights turned off and only 1 light were on between every exit. After another minute it all went back to normal and they came in and said that soemthing with the control for the motor was broken. All we were doing now was waiting. They came through with a control that looked like a big lever. I guessed that was from the other cab because the most trains have two cabs. One at the front and one at the back. They came back and told us that they were going to go back to where it departed and we were going to switch to another train. It drove slowly back to where it departed and we switched to a double-decker train. They told us in the speakers that they were going to depart in 1 minute and have an extra stop in where we were going. After 15 minutes of waiting in the double-decker train we finally arrived. It was pretty crowded there so I had to sit on the stairs up to the other level of the train. It arrived about 1 hour later than our normal train was going so we took the bus to the school. Luckily, it was going every 15 minutes so we took the bus that departed 8:45 AM and arrived about 3 minutes later. When we came to the school we rushed up the stairs because our school is in a 3 floor building and we're on the top. I became very exhausted but I did all I could. I opened my locker, took of my clothes, put in my bag and take out my indoor shoes. Rush to the classroom and opened the door while heavily breathing. As we had english class (I'm Swedish) he said "Ah, there you are! You were late?" I told him "Yes, our train was 1 hour late" and he said "Oh. Be right there and I'll tell you what to do."

So that was my long and boring morning. Even though, it was at least nothing that I usually have in my everyday.

Have a nice day!
