Easy

So it’s that time of the year—

The time when everything gets easier. If I could, I would construct an entire analogy for this year (in Cambridge) around my bike:

At first, there were a few kinks in the bike-as-transportation system. For example, at times water soaked into the seat of my pants from the porous seat of my bike. Or the chain lock would take forever to lock/unlock. Or I would forget my bike lights and ride through the streets illegally at night.

Then, over time, I got a shower cap, a D-lock, and brackets for my lights.

In other words, life got easier.

Of course, it’s only at the very end that this happens. Soon, I’ll have to leave. Again. And come up with something else someplace else.
