I have a bike... with a flat tire.

I just can't believe this. I left my bike next to the hostel building at CERN and two days later (i.e. today) I come back for it (ready for my new "bike adventure") and there it is, with a flat tire. I know nothing happen to it the other day, since I barely used it, but still, the tire is completely lost. How am I suppose to interpret that? Is God, destiny, life or "the force" trying to stop me to ride the bike?

I don't know. In the mean time, I made my advisor come home earlier, to give me a ride. Now, we're at the apartment we'll have for the Summer, without wireless connection (only an ethernet cable, which doesn't serve more than one computer at a time.)

Probably I just wasn't ready to bike back home. Who am I kidding?!? How can someone have this much of bad luck...? or whatever that is...

Arely thought this was funny, at first. At least it released her from the "responsibility" of biking home. Now that she thinks about it more seriously, she's kind of mad. This is definately not making this any easier.

I still have my T-Mobile phone line. Eventually I'll have to get rid of it. Maybe I'll keep it for a couple of days. At this point, I can't but feel that this bike issue is preventing me from having some sort of bike accident.

By the way, I not only have one room for myself, but a room with a couple of twin beds 0_o! Anyone interested in visiting? Actually I don't know. The room/bathroom distribution in this apartment is kind of odd. We have two rooms upstairs, one room downstairs. The room downstairs has a "private" shower. Upstairs there's a bathtub (no shower curtain) and there's only one toilet downstairs.

Ah, and we found a coffee pot, but not the coffee maker. Everything is weird today. I need some time to process it. Today my advisor asked me how was I feeling about living her. How am I feeling? I haven't had time to think about it. One thing is certain (and I said that to him): "I don't particularly love America.. so I was glad I was finally moving out of there." Besides, the moment was perfect.. had I stayed any longer, my whole spirit would have collapsed... At this age (I'm old enough to use this expression)... I need to learn to give up, and so I'll do.

Although, I won't apply that to the bike... not yet!
