Had a lot of fun commuting today. I had to be at the university at 8:30 for my class, but I got up at 5:30 and left around 6:40 to be able to go to the swimming pool before my class.

The commute this early in the morning was pleasant - not too many cars, coolth, half-darkness... Then, when I was about 2 km from my destination a real bad thunderstorm hit. Left me completely soaked. Had to stop to wipe my glasses as I was not able to see anything.

So I arrived at the uni around 7:40, run to the pool (getting even more soaked on the way) and... have to stand in line for half an hour to get my stupid access card for this year to use the facilities! Argh! So, no swimming. In fact, I barely made it in time for class - changing into my "respectable" clothes and getting to a building at the other end of this huge campus takes time.

I am not sure what I am going to wear on the way back... The biking garb will not be completely dry, and it's not a hot day today...
