Tube 'lines'

'TGIF' - Thank God is Friday... I'm sure you've heard this expression, but it doesn't apply to me. But I think in a while it will.
I went to the cafe (Silvio's) to talk to the owner - Silvio himself. I was supposed to be there at 2pm and there I was ten minutes in advance. I met Claudia and we talked for a while, she was about to finish her shift. Half hour later Silvio called saying he wasn't going to show up. Man, again... I was kinda pissed and Claudia embarressed but it wasn't her fault. Actually, she had some pretty good news. She said he was going to hire me even without talking to me because I had been indicated by her. Apparently I stard next Monday, from 12:30pm to 8pm, she already told me about the uniform and I think I'm already in, she's going to confirm it tomorrow or Sunday tops.
I just look forward to leaving that hotel!

Anyway, I had to go home to pick up this fucking suitcase and take it to Pavlova because she's going to Brazil and mother needs a suitcase there. Honestly, I don't know what for. I guess she waited for me to get out of there to start traveling, when the time I needed her to travel the most she basically stayed at home annoying me.
I thought I would have to go to the Brazilian Embassy (where Pavlova works) to give her the damn thing, but that I ended up having to go to her place to leave the suitcase with the doorman. Of course I couldn't find the street in the A-Z, Ethan had to help me out. But the major problem was that I was meeting a friend at Starbucks near Bond Street Stn at 4pm and I left home at 3:50pm.
I got the tube. It's amazing that when you're super late everything seems to happen slower...
'Stand clear of the closing doors. This is the Victoria train to Walthamstow Central'
I would have to go to Oxford Circus and from there take the Central line to Marble Arch.
'The next station is Sockwell, change here for the Northern line'
Along with the suitcase I was bringing my laptop. I'd seen a lot of people using computers there so I figured I could use mine too. I was meeting Rodolfo, a guy from Cachoeirinha who is studying at the school for a month and then he's moving to Dresden (Germany) to take a 3-month training course. He's a very nice guy and he came to London through Cultura Inglesa. Fernando talked to him about myself and we ended up getting along well.
'The next station is Vauxhall, change here for national rail services. This is the Victoria line train to Walthamstow Central'
I hate Victoria line. Well, it might not be as bad as the Northern line, but I think it's catching up. The train is small and it's too hot and it normally reeks.
'The next station is Pimlico. Alight here for the Tate Gallery. Stand clear of the closing doors'
What irritates me the most on the tube is when you have plenty of empty seats and people go to sit down beside you. I don'y understand that. They should at least leave one seat empty as a buffer zone, you know? Especially now that is cold and everybody wears huge coats.
'The next station is Victoria, change here for the Central and District lines, national rail services and the Victoria Coach Station. This is the Victoria line train to Walthamstow Central'
Everybody gets on and off here, it's like PUC. It's the chance to get a seat you're standing. I don't like this station, I don't know why. But I think the worst is about to come.
'The next station is Green Park, change here for the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines. Alight here for Buckingham Palace. Stand clear of the closing doors'
I always change at this station, wherever I might go, but not today. If you want to change to the Piccadilly line you have to walk for AGES to get to the platform. To go to school I change for the Jubilee and get off at Baker Street. For next year, if I get the tube to school, this is the stop.
'The next station is Oxford Circus, change here for the Bakerloo and Central lines. This is the Victoria line train to Walthamstow Central'
That was me. I had to take Central line.

After walking a lot and going up and down stairs, I was on the tube again. This line is not so bad. Cars are bigger and people don't smell so bad.
'The next station is Bond Street, change here for the Jubilee line. This is the Central line train to West Ruislip'
My friend was already at Starbucks. I was supposed to alight there...
'The next station is Marble Arch'

Again carrying the suitcase. I hate when sometimes you have a really tiny streets - what we would call 'becos' - and such things aren't supposed to have names, you know? They're just allies for God's sake!!! Of course the girl lives in one of those and it took me a while to find her place.

Being 50 minutes late I arrived at Starbucksm dying for a coffee and to going online. First task done but we weren't able to use the internet, only if you you are a T Mobile user. That's outrageous... We looked at pics and talk a lot, Portuguese and English.
We decided to go to Waterstone's to find some EFL books. I found some CPE bokks, but of course, the ones I want are 25 pounds or more... It's always like that. The guy needed a grammar book and it cost 12 pounds.
We were both starving and went for a all you can eat for 5.99 pounds. Pizza was the chosen one.
Man, I'm loaded.
Pizza wasn't the best, btw. I miss Cia. das Pizzas and So Pizzas...
