Wrong Place at the Right Time and Right Place at the Wrong Time

Hello everyone! I hope that the first few days of February went well for you. Even though there are plenty of good things that have happened while I've been away from home, it would be inaccurate of me to avoid the mention of any events that went wrong...
On Tuesday the 3rd, some of my fellow interns and I were supposed to listen to a speaker from the New Democrat Network (NDN) for part of our class. So we headed off to what we thought was the location of the NDN. However, what none of us interns knew was that there was a failure in communication between our professor and the speaker to confirm that the location was still the same as last year. The truth was that the NDN had moved locations 4 months ago, so needless to say we were very confused on why we couldn't find the NDN on the building directory when we arrived at the time the speaker was supposed to start. After a few phone calls, we finally found out about the correct building for the NDN. We had to walk all the way back the way we came and then a few blocks beyond that in order to get to the NDN. On the bright side, it can be said that we got plenty of exercise on Tuesday. Once we got there, it took a bit of trial and error to find the correct floor that the NDN was on. Finally, we got to hear the NDN speaker and after a few questions we interns headed back to the apartment.
A couple days later, Thursday the 5th, a bit of a different situation occurred. After a long day at work, I headed to the Metro station in order to take the Blue Line back to the apartment. (There are 6 different Metro routes that run throughout various parts of the DC/Virginia/Maryland area and each of them is named after a color. They are Blue, Yellow, Silver, Orange, Red, and Green.) Unfortunately as I was headed towards the platform, I could see the Metro pulling out of the station. The bad news is that I had to wait over 10 minutes for the next Metro that used the Blue Line to arrive. (Normally the only time people have to wait more than 10 minutes is on the weekends.) On the other hand, when I boarded the Metro, it wasn't as crowded as it can be sometimes.
Even though some parts of this week were a bit of a downer, I can say that I tried a Nutella cookie and it was delicious! Have a great week people!
