I am Emma . Yesterday after work my friend Jake and I sat in the campus café and compared our morning commutes . We both started at seven , but our routes and surprises were very different . Jake : I was leaving my flat when I remembered I did not lock the window in the kitchen . I ran back upstairs and checked every room before I caught the tram at seven twelve . Emma : I was already on the bus when you sent that message . I was reading notes for our meeting while an old man was telling stories to his granddaughter near the front seat . Jake : On the tram I was standing near the doors when a tourist asked about the stop for the museum . I was explaining the route when we were stopping at a red light much longer than usual . Emma : Traffic was bad on my side too . We were moving inch by inch near the hospital when a cyclist fell on wet leaves . Drivers were braking , and everyone was looking out of the windows . Jake : When I changed to the metro , a singer was playing guitar on the platform . People were dropping coins into his case while trains were arriving every four minutes . I was listening for one song , then I was rushing because my transfer window was short . Emma : I got off the bus ten minutes late and was walking fast across the park . Birds were singing in the trees , but I was not enjoying the morning because my shoes were still wet from a puddle near the gate . Jake : I was entering the office building when the elevator stopped between floors for five minutes . Three of us were talking quietly until maintenance staff fixed the problem . I was arriving at my desk at eight forty instead of eight thirty . Emma : I was opening the seminar room when Professor Cole was already writing on the board . Other students were taking seats and were opening laptops . I was apologizing for being late , but she was smiling and started the introduction anyway . Jake : At lunch I was telling coworkers about the stuck elevator . One colleague was saying she was cycling when a bus splashed water on her coat . Another was laughing because his coffee spilled when a tram braked suddenly . Emma : We were agreeing that city mornings never repeat exactly . Some days you are waiting , some days you are running , and sometimes strangers are helping with directions or music on a platform . Jake : This morning I was leaving early on purpose . I was walking part of the way to avoid the elevator , and the air was cold but clear . I did not miss the tram , and I did not forget the kitchen window . Emma : I was cycling today for the first time this month . I was feeling nervous at busy corners , but I was arriving before eight with dry shoes . Maybe our commute stories will sound calmer next week .
