Friday went much better at school than Thursday. The school says they will fix the crowding problems. I have a measured amount of hope for that. I find that I'm in love with 146 kids I just met.

And I've decided: The Brooklyn Bridge is the one for me. Not only is it more scenic in most ways, the route has me riding on streets for less distance. From home to the greenway is 2 blocks, then from the greenway to City Hall Park is 5 blocks, leading me right onto the bridge. The school is only 3 blocks from the bridge.
