Allow me to vent my frustrations for a few minutes.

I have three final exams coming up tomorrow (Wednesday). At the rate things have been going, I'll be lucky to make it through them alive. I have had more bad luck in just these past 4-5 days alone than I had through the entire year of 2002.

#1: A week ago, in the final week of class I developed some kind of sore on the back of my tongue. It hurt like hell; couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't even whistle without irritating it, so I went to the doctor. He told me it would go away within 10 days. TEN DAYS. This was about 6 days from my final. Then he gave me a slip of paper with the name of a numbing compound I could put on it, which I folded into a larger piece of paper and slipped in my pocket. When I got home and took that folded piece of paper out, the small piece of paper, and the name of the thing that was supposed to ease my pain had magically disappeared from inside. When something impossible like that happens, you just know it's a bad omen of things to come and some higher power has it in for you.

#2: Earlier that same day, I went to study for a music final. In the music lab there were no headphones available because of people studying for finals, but I always brought my own. So I went into my bag to get my headphones. I pulled them out, one piece after the other. Yep, they were broken. I had submitted this thing to all kinds of unintentional torture over the years, but apparently none of those compared to being put in a bag. I tried using them anyway, but could get no sound from one ear. The worst part is, I really needed them, as 1/2 of all my finals involved listening and identifying pieces of music.

#3: The next day wasn't much better. I had always had a wakeup call sent from my telephone mail to wake me up in the morning. On this day, the last day of classes, it never went off and I missed my first class's review session for the final. Definitely no second chances for that one. Why? Because for the first time in the 5 years that I've been using it, the phone company decided to change the service and make me re-register. ON A FRIDAY MORNING. It only makes sense when I take my current luck into consideration.

#4: Finally, several days went by and I was able to accomplish some studying and finish my papers. Then this morning I went to take a shower, and the shower curtain rod fell down before I could get very far. Water all over the floor. So I took a few minutes to stick the rod back up and try to finish my shower, and wouldn't you fucking know it, after only 2 minutes I had absolutely no hot water. It was a cold morning so I gave up on the shower and just cleaned up the floor for an hour.

#5: That was about 8 hours ago. Now, two hours ago, I was studying and had to take a bathroom break, so I did. I went to flush the dirty junk down my shiny porcelain stool, and it stops. Well, this had happened before so I didn't pay much mind. Whipped out the plunger and gave a few good thrusts. Then something magical happened. For the first time in the 5 years I have lived in this apartment, the toilet turned into a fountain. Not a high-powered one, mind you, but enough to re-soak my entire bathroom to TRIPLE the amount of water I had spent the morning mopping up, and add an extra element of doody to the mess. And let me tell you all, I am just fucking elated that this happens the day before finals.

So now I finally finished cleaning the floor again, and I'm in such shock that all I can do to cope is write about it. Am I cursed? Why the hell is this happening? Ugh.

Well, back to studying... I just hope to hell that this thing goes away before I wake up tomorrow.
