Original

I plan to see doctors before the class, but the location of the hospital is not convenient. I need to transfer twice and walk to the hospital, so I decided to take taxi to there. When I arrived the hospital, I found embarrasing thing is that nurse worked starts at 13:30, so I arrived there advanced 30 minutes and several peoples were waiting in the hall. If I wait in the hall until 1:30, I will not catch the class at 2pm, so I just leave for here. And then after class I will ride a bicycle to the hospital before 4pm, so this schedule is really tough for me.

Edited:

I had planned to go to the doctor before our class, but the location of the hospital is not convenient. If I were to go by metro, I would need to transfer lines twice and walk to the hospital, so I decided to take a taxi. When I arrived at the hospital, I found out that the nurse would only start working at 1:30, so I had arrived 30 minutes too early and several peoples were waiting in the hall before me. If I were to wait in the hall until 1:30, I would not catch the class at 2pm, so I just left and came here. After class I will ride a bicycle to the hospital and need to be there before 4pm, so this schedule is really tough for me.
