Even dirtier luck.

Okay, I don’t know what I did to make the world turn against me, all I know is it sure as hell has, and I should probably crawl back into bed and hide under the covers until the dark storm cloud over my head dissipates.

To begin with, dead tired after I finally finished my essay at 3 AM, I neglected to set my alarm. As a result, I of course woke up at 8:39 AM, nine minutes after class had started.

Normally, not a huge deal. I can just borrow the notes from someone, right? True, but it still isn’t the same as actually going to class. Seeing as how I missed class on Wednesday and Thursday, and now today, I feel real guilty. Not to mention I have to miss class on Monday (I’ll explain why later.)

I’m a dork, I’ll admit it. I prefer to have perfect, or near to it, attendance, even in university classes. In fact, I’ve even won a perfect attendance award in one of my classes. So missing four days of class in a row makes me feel like the worst student ever.

But here’s the part that really proves I have rotten luck…

Last night after my computer froze I, with fingers crossed, hoped that my essay had been autosaved. Unfortunately, I looked for a recovered copy and there was none. So I kissed the thought of going to bed at a reasonable hour goodbye, and rewrote the parts I had lost.

This morning?

An autosaved copy is miraculously available.

Kill me now.

WHY THE HELL DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?

Seriously. I am thisclose to completely losing it and melting into a ball of snot and tears as I shake my first at the sky and whimper “Why me… why me…”

Oh, I also have developed a killer sore throat, which is not fun since I have an insanely busy week ahead of me.

I’m going to do my best to remain optimistic and be glad that I now have two essays which I can read over and combine into one too-awesome-for-words essay. Great idea, no?

Must. Look. On. The. Bright. Side.

    boys suck = tons of comments,
    computers suck = not so much,
    and since Brea = comment whore… (did I quote you correctly?)

    Well what can I say?
    It could be worse! Your best friend could’ve tricked you into making out with some dude at the bar, which in turn may have a caused a make believe pregnancy!(thank goodness kissing can’t cause a real one!) Damn migraine and morning sickness! Well my goodlooking friend cheer up…your presence in my life makes every day brighter! (and I mean that in a non-romantic way!)

    Those last minute, “Omg I think it was the worst ever” essays usually turn out to be the best ones. Good Luck!

    You need to stop updating so much. As much as we like it, I think its done something to your karma.
