My dear friends, Germany really is a well working country...


Not only am I still waiting for a letter - for 5 weeks now and I know it normally only takes about a week - but today I almost didn't get to school.

On any other day no problem, I would've just called uni that I couldn't come because of the DB, but today I had an exam in the second lesson. In a subject where we only have two marks for the whole year.

That was the reason why I had already decided last night to take the earlier train, so I'd be at school one hour before the exam.

In the morning I left the house on time - like really on time, for the first time in ages - and got to the train station at 6:30am, 10 minutes before the train was supposed to arrive.

At 6:39 then an announcement: The 6:40am train will be 10 minutes late.

5 minutes later: The 6:40am train will be 15 minutes late.

Another 10 minutes later: The 6:40am train will be 25 minutes late.

At 7:05am: no train, no further announcements

7:15am: The second train in the other direction arrived. And left.

7:25am: The next train was to come at 7:30, apparently they 'accidentally forgotten' to tell us that the train had been cancelled?! If I had known earlier, I could've called a classmate and asked her to take me along.

So I had been standing at the train station for 60 minutes just to possibly be late for my exam?!
Tried to call my mum 3x until she finally answered, and asked her if she could drive me to uni in case the next train was also late.

7:29am, announcement: The 7:30am train will be 10 minutes late...
