Luck o' the draw
Just about to head off to bed after a day of laundry, slacking, bed-buying,
and essay-marking, but I thought I would announce that this week seems to be
my lucky week. It's only in the little things, but considering the fact that
I am the unluckiest person I know, this is pretty amazing. Hear me out:
Sunday: Rhode Island: Providence: Providence Place Mall: J. Crew
I buy a dress for myself as Andy's birthday present to me. I also pick him up
two pairs of REALLY cute boxers (one is blue with yellow polkadots, and the
other is orange with green shamrocks -- my lovely Irish boyfriend).
Anyway, we're at the counter and the guy asks me if I'm a college student,
right, as I mentioned below. I say yes, and get my 10% discount. But what I
didn't EVEN NOTICE was that the boxers were on a 2 for 1 deal. So I got a
pair of boxers for free and didn't notice until just now. Lucky lucky me.
Monday: T.F. Green Airport, Providence, RI --> La Guardia Airport, New York
City, New York: Hell
Did I not TOTALLY scrape out of there just barely? The airport was shutting
down around me and I escaped with very little effort on my part. I think I
was sitting in the airport the least amount of any of those stressed out
folks. I was super lucky there.
Tuesday: Ottawa: Work
Actually, nothing happened on Tuesday, really.
No, that's a lie. I helped Andy fix Travis' computer. I had some good
ideas. Not really a lucky thing, just a different perspective. But still.
Nothing exploded.
Wednesday: Ottawa: School and EQ3
I got an email from my professor about my presentation that I gave last
Thursday. He loved it. He said it was perfectly set out and incorporated all
sorts of theory and was INTERESTING, to top it off. He then gave me a whole
bunch of sources to look at and most of them I already HAVE. And then he gave
me a 9.5/10, which is good, because *I* thought I talked way too fast, and
totally ran over time. Lucky for me my prof is a hardcore hockey fan.
Then I went out with the Pie to buy a bed at EQ3 (the one he's been talking
about for the past two weeks). So while he was getting the deal done, I was
given the task of picking out a scratch 'n' save ticket and scratching it -- I
got him 20% off, which is a rare find! So he saved $100 on his bed. Lucky me!
Andy thinks that posting about this will ruin my luck for the rest of the
week, but I don't see how the rest of the week can be any good anyway. I have
class tomorrow, which is boring as all hell all the time, then I have lecture
and my discussion group, which is accompanied by a fuckton of late papers I
will be picking up, and then work until 9, whereupon I miss the hockey game.
Then Friday I work all day and then hockey. I am in no danger of jinxing
myself at the game, because I already had my scoring spree last game. I can't
possibly repeat that performance, even if we're two goalies short. And then
Saturday is the day I mark thousands and thousands of papers. So having a
solid four days is pretty good, I think.
