Pocket Full of Sunshine

“Do you have anything else to add?”

I heard our professor, Mr. Eugenio, ask as my eyes helplessly scanned the text. I could barely read the text on the overhead projector, due to the fact that I left my glasses at home, let alone understand it. I wracked my brain for a way to get us out of this jam, but to no avail.

“Anyone? Call a friend?” He asked yet again and I lost my train of thought. “Tick-tock, tick-tock...You’re wasting time.” Wow, pressure much?

I just got into my last class of the day, 30 minutes late with minimal knowledge about the report at hand and a stabbing pain in the lower region of my solar plexus. Beside me, I could hear Kasoy muttering the words of the text, also thinking of a way to save our group’s sorry butts.

“If you haven’t got anything else to say, let’s move on to the next reporter.” Professor E. shook his head and gestured for the next reporter to proceed. Our efforts were futile.

“What’s happening to you, group 7?”

I resisted the urge to bang my head against the table.

That settles it. This has got to be one of the worst days in my years of existence.

I don’t usually get on Lady Luck’s good side and that’s the same reason why I get strokes of bad luck instead of strokes of genius. Today, I happened to notice that my built in bad luck magnet seems to be working overtime. The fact that today’s gonna be “one of those days” registered in my brain the moment I woke up late late this morning. And then I bumped into the door, stepped into an ice cold, high pressured shower, ran out the house only to end up wet from the pouring rain and realized that my iPod’s earphones are on the verge of dying.

And that was just this morning’s series of unfortunate events.

I thought things couldn’t get worse but get worse, it did. I crammed and felt like I screwed up on my Math test and don’t ask me about our History report. Some other stuff happened to make my day even worse but I haven’t any time to tell you the whole, not to mention complicated, story.

That's that.. And the rest is history.

So...


Interesting weather we’re having, huh?
