Late

I have a problem. I'm about 5 minutes (minimum) to everything. At home this isn't too much of a problem b/c if I leave 5 minutes late, I drive where I need to go and arrive 5 minutes late. Here...I take public transportation. Today I arrived at the platform as the train was slowly pulling away. The next one isn't until an hour later and by then I will have missed my class. Ugh...sometimes I miss my car (never thought I would say that).
