When Everything Seems To Go Wrong

Do you ever get the feeling that you just have some bad luck
Could you imagine having that feeling for an entire week?

Well..I can... *insert sad face*

I just can't imagine why this all had to happen at once. I don't even wanna know when I last uploaded a post, but you'll soon know why. I will tell you what happened this past week. (Beware: long post)  

Monday started off quite well although I still can't get over the early classes at school starting at 8:30 in the morning. I mean no one (not even the teachers like that time). This was our last week of school and so the lecturers gave either tips and/or mock exams for the upcoming tests. It was rainy but the day went on well until I remembered that I had to call my doctor (again!). Little background info: I did a test some time ago and was told that the results would be in in three days or so…Well those days turned into weeks and while that's not really an issue at all (if mentioned from the start), it is when you're constantly on the phone with the assistants and they keep telling you to call back in a few more days.

Anywho...Fast forward to past Monday again...I called them to hear that they couldn't find my results at all, that the lab made a mistake and I had to retake the test. Thumbs up for that one right, cause this kickstarted my terrible week.

Tuesday and Wednesday I was working on some stuff for my exchange of course. I have to for example send a so called study plan which basically means that I have to choose subjects and have to explain why I chose them. Went to the bathroom and when I came back my laptop shut down out of nowhere. I thought there was something wrong with the power adapter (was using this solely as the battery of my laptop died in the beginning of the year). So not a good day to say the least, but hey I was going to get a new adapter the next day so no biggie right?

On to Thursday…had class but was running a little late just to do a mock exam in class (still helpful though). Went to Mediamarkt to buy a new power adapter for my HP laptop (yay another 40 euros disappeared). Came home…well not really as I stood before my door finding out I'd lost my keys (this week couldn't get any better right?). After the initial panic came logic…what did I do exactly and where did I need to go or who did I have to call. I phoned Car2go immediately as I'd used one of their cars in the morning. Unfortunately the specific car I had used was located at the other side of town (great), so in order to get there fast I took another one of their cars and drove there. Can you guess what I'd found?…

Yes, exactly nothing, my keys weren't there and I had just spend more money. I asked my boyfriend if he could go to the final stop of the public transport that I had used earlier in the day. This of course again resulted in nothing. 

Lot of bad luck so far right…Well there is more

Came home that evening crossing my neighbor in the street, telling her about the lost keys and you know what… she saw them laying in the street in the morning but left them there as she thought that the owner would immediately run back. Unfortunately I never noticed it as my bag was way to full that day and the keys probably flicked out of my bag when I swayed it over my shoulder. As is was too late I couldn't ask the other neighbors if they had my keys. So finally tested my new power adapter of course only to find out that it wasn't working…my computer still couldn't be turned on. Great…just great...slight panic attack, maybe I did something wrong, I should try it again in the morning was what I was thinking as I was very sleepy. Oh and did I already mention that I had a deadline for a certain subject? (at friday evening…but still)

Friday morning came... couldn't go to school due to losing my keys in the neighborhood and my mom freaking out about potential burglars. Tried to start my laptop again…failed once more. Googled to see if I could find a solution for my problem, didn't work so I called HP. After a numerous amount of minutes where I explained the problems and I had to test it, they came up with a diagnose. Drumroll…it was the motherboard and they didn't have the one for my model anymore. Only thing they could do was offer me a reduction on a new computer

*insert panic attack and sadness now* 

Why so many things all at once…I  work so hard and this is what I get? Now you see I luckily was able to get a new computer on black friday and was allowed to return and get a full refund on the power adapter that I bought earlier. The hard drives of my deceased laptop were saved but I will have to see how an external hard drive works.

To top it all off…I overslept this morning, first time in at least one and a half years. I feel like I should deserve a lot of positivity (and some money) after all of this and I should pass all of my exams as well (LOL and crying)

Have you ever had a lot of bad luck at the same time? How did you cope with it?
