Unlucky Ducky

By writing this post, I am sure I am bring more bad luck upon myself. In fact, I have already tried to post it once, but it was deleted and not posted or saved, so I had to type it twice. Just another unlucky thing to happen this week.

I will start by reminding you (or letting you know) that about three weeks ago my iPod broke. Well with 30+ hours of travel time to New Zealand, I needed to get a new one and they are not cheap.

My luck was fine until this past Saturday. I went to Cedar Falls to see friends and celebrate homecoming. I drove up in morning and shortly after getting there put my ID and money in my pocket and headed down to tailgate. Tailgating was fun and I saw so many friends but after a while we headed back home to watch the Iowa game, take a nap, and order pizza. The pizza came and I got my money out to pay and went about my afternoon. After eating I sat down on the couch and bumped my camera which was sitting on the arm of the couch. Instead of falling on the floor it fell right into a cup of water that happened to be sitting there. Making it worse, there was no rice to be found so my poor little camera had to dry out all by itself. I was pretty upset about the extra expense before my trip when I realized my ID was no where to be found! We tore the whole apartment apart looking everywhere for that little piece of plastic that is oh so important, but found nothing! I am now certain that there is some blonde hair, underage girl in Cedar Falls running around having a wonderful time with my ID. 

Yesterday I knew I had to go get a new ID right away, even though there is a VERY LITTLE chance it will be here in a week. So I left school fifteen minutes early and drove to the Jones County courthouse. The treasurer office was open till 4:30 and I walked in at 4:15 feeling so much better knowing I was finally getting my new license. Nope. They not-so-kindly informed me that they stopped doing driver's licenses at 4:00 and I was fifteen minutes late. So it was not until today after sitting at the DOT for an hour that I finally have a license again. 

Last but not least I have now found out my phone charger is broken and I use my phone on a daily basis as an alarm. How lovely. Not everything has been so horrible. On a very bright side, my camera is now well and working!

Here we go, only six more days. Wish me luck, I may need it!
