7.30am to 7.30pm!!

Oh mi god....I know travelling would be tough once project started but I've never have thought it would be that tough!

25/4 - Memorable day (1st day)
7am: Woke up!
7.40am: Leaving my flat
7.50am: Arrived Stratford tube station
8.05am: Arrived Bank station, changed to waterloo and city line
8.10am: Waiting for the bloody train to arrive, still stuck in Bank, swearing to myself
8.13am: Arrived Waterloo
8.17am: Swearing severly; Stuck in the bloody queue for buying ticket
8.20am: Train to Surrey depart; but still stuck in the queue!
8.22am: Got to the ticket machine
8.23am: Shocked!! £12.10 for a standard ticket?
30 seconds later....another shock!! No student discount available at peak time?
8.24am: Heart breaking.....Inserted £20 notes into the machine......
8.50am: Departed from Waterloo
9.00am: Started to rain
9.25am: Raining like cats and dogs
9.30am: Arrived Surrey
9.31am: Running in the rain
10am: Arrived lab, still raining
10.05am: Raining stopped

£12.10!!! It only cost me £4 and bit last time with student discount @ offpeak hours!!
Took me 2 hrs and a bit to get there.....totally exhauted, had 3 cups of coffee to keep me going. There weren't much to do apparently, mainly induction trainning in the 1st day but still ended up arriving home at around 7.30pm

26/4 2nd day

Woke up 20 minutes earlier and just managed to catch the 8.20am train to Surrey promptly. Still paying £12.10 for the ticket because I haven't figured out what seasonal ticket I should get yet! Monthly one should be most sppropriate but what about my railcard? I paid £15 for my railcard and the card doesn't provide me with any discount at all!!! I really can't believe it man......
