when the world is against you

ever had one of those days when you felt that everything is just out to get you? you know...those days when everything goes wrong?

i had a partial one-of-those-days yesterday. i guess it started the night before...with an act of total injustice which i shall not elaborate on because it's rather touchy. just want to say that it's an injustice to the person involved, and i'm no longer proud of being a du-rian.

yesterday started off great. everything was fine...till it was time for chem prac. i broke a filter funnel and a conical flask while doing yet another titration - really! when will these titrations end??? - this time some sodium thiosulphate thing. it was a good thing i didn't get iodine on my shirt or else i would have seriously become damn irritated. urgh.

then, i had to stay back cuz the house capt told me there was a meeting. fine. i reluctantly decided not to go for the footie match between the saints and vjc which was held at vjc just to stay back for the meeting. finally, 4.50pm came. then, it was 5pm. i smsed the capt...only to have her reply that the meeting was cancelled and she forgot to tell me.

grrreat. i missed a potentially good footie match for nothing. plus by the time i knew, it was too late to even start out for vjc, since it's an hour's bus ride away. aargh!!! sigh.

my friends here were great...they encouraged me to whine about it, and i tried hard not to, but did anyway. i mean, when things go wrong one after another, it's impossible to stay calm. i'm not personality type - "pragmatic" you know!

on our way back to the hostel...i suddenly remembered i didn't tick for dinner (we have to tick for meals on fri, sat and sun). how fantastic, no? luckily the housemistress let us eat anyway...aah.

it just wasn't my day, huh? no, it definitely wasn't. but then, i'm sure everyone has one-of-those-days now and then, no? =)
