Bicycle Life

* Here is the satellite photos of Albacina.The left hand side is Albacina train station, and the right hand side is my office.

Since my internship office, actually is not in Fabriano, it is in Albacina. Before I can work in both offices in Fabriano and Albacina. But in the end of my project, my tutor wish me stay in Albacina office to have more communication. And I have a very nice coworker giving me a ride everyday. Albacina is a much smaller town than Fabriano, I guess the population is less than 10,000. I don't want to bother my coworker to give me a ride everyday. And most important thing is I WANT THE CONTROL OF MY LIFE, not depends on other people's time. I don't like to always ask someone's favor. There are only two alternatives from Fabriano to Albacina.
First, take the bus. The first bus is at 6:45 and the second bus is 10:30. It is either too early or too late. I need to arrive office around 8:30 am. This is not a good choice. It takes 15 mins to bus station from my place.

The second solution is train. By train, I have to ride my bike from my place to train station, this takes 15 mins. Then take the train to the Albacina station, this only takes 10 mins. After that I take bike again from Albacina station to my office, this takes another 10 mins. Fortunately, me and my roommates have three bikes. And they don't use them. So I can just leave a bike in Albacina, this will save me a lot of trouble.

Today it is my first time to take bike+train+bike soultion to the office. I planed to take the 8:25 train. However, there is no train, instead it is a bus (then why should they put it on the train time table, I am really pissed off). So, I waited for anotehr train on 9:13 to Albacina. In the end, I arrived office at 9:30. Although this soultion sounds ridiculous, but it works. So from now on, I will use my bike everyday. Anyway, summer is coming, it is better to exercise more to lose some weight.

I never think about the bicycle will become so important in my life. When I ride my bike on the small country roads, I enjoy the green field view with a river and sound of birds. I have a very strange feeling. I am born to be a CITY woman. WHAT am I doing here? Anyway, if I can pick tomato in the dirty and muddy field in Australia. Then this is just a piece of cake. I CAN MAKE IT!!!

Next time, I will take the train on 8:17, then I will be in the office at 8:30. It sounds Perfect solution!!! And there is only three weeks left for my internship. :)
