I made it!
I managed to ride my bike all the way home from the university! I started at 9:10 and got home at 10:15 (I was riding on the path and not on the road, so that's why it took so long.), so it doesn't really take that much longer than going home by train. That is, riding from the university to the train station, waiting for the train, and then going home on the train will add up to almost as long, even though the train journey is only about 20 minutes.
Normally, I would be in a linguistics tutorial at this time on a Friday, but I went on Wednesday so I don't have to go again today. The only class I had today was a differential calculus lecture. We were looking at functions of two variables, and when looking at functions, of course we look at graphs. Somehow, someone started picking on how the lecturer pronounces "graph". He says [gɹaf], and some people in the class say [gɹæf]. (I wonder if anyone else in there did linguistics. May be I should've took the chance to ask. xD) He also accidentally said "spear" instead of "sphere" a few times, and I joked that "hemisphere" becomes "hammer spear" when he said it. It's fun sitting at the front. See, maths first thing in the morning isn't really that cruel. It was also funny when the lecturer put the computer-generated 3-D graphs on the screen. One of them had two bumps sticking up, and everyone laughed at it. xD

OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS! It's always gratify to hear someone did SOMETHING with their bikes, rather than letting it sit inthe dust! Good job!
And hammer spear? What, part hammer, part spear is what our next planet's gonna look like? >D
Wow. I wish I could ride my bike to college. It's not like I'm a lazy bum, but that's because doing that is suicide. >__< I once did the road between home and college. The cars were just zooming through the road at full speed, 50 cm away from me, and I almost got run over twice, the first by a cab, the second by a bus. I have to take the entrance highway whether I like it or not, and I tell you, EVERYBODY there does 120 km/h at all times, regardless if they're driving a sports car, an overloaded truck, or a bus full of people.
So consider yourself lucky, you being actually able to ride your bike to college.
