I have taught at Miami for many years, and I have never been late, except for one time when the trains completely stopped and I had to cancel classes. But the other day, I had a real close call. I was writing my blog on the train, as usual. When I finished, I realized that I had just missed my stop! Luckily, I always try to get there 30 minutes early. I had to rush to Yokohama and back, and then I had to run all the way from Keikyu Gumyoji to school. But, in the end, I made it with two minutes to spare!)
