Murphy's Law Day Pt. 2

Time: 4:34pm
Mood: Goin' Crazy!
Song of the moment: Beck - Summer Girl

So last week I had the absolute week from hell. It was definitely a Murphy's Law WEEK (not just a day!).

It all began when I drove back to Hamilton on Tuesday afternoon. I got back to Hamilton to realize I left my keyboard for my computer in T.O (I brought it home b/c I like typing with my keyboard). Then I realized that left my portable hard-drive there too, meaning I left all the work I did during the week + the presentation I was working in T.O. I freaked out because I need my work with me and I needed that presentation for Thursday. Later that evening, I went to take out my contacts when I discovered I left my contact case at home too. At that point I just wanted to scream. What a HORRIBLE day! I went out to Shoppers to buy a travel size bottle of my contact solution because for some dumb reason cases no longer come with the big bottles anymore, but when I got there I found out they didn' t have my contact solution in the travel size! *grr* so I had to buy some random brand I don't even use. I managed to get my dad to send me my files that I needed (It took quite a while), then I headed to bed, hoping my string of bad luck would end after a good nights rest.

It didn't.

I went to school the next day to find that the work I spent all Friday night on was non-existent. It was like I never saved my work. And I know I saved it.. I remember I pressed the "save" button on several occasions. *grr* So frustrating. Then I spent all day learning how to use Matlab, which I finally got a hang of by the end of the day! hahah!

Thursday I did my presentation. I was the last one to go, and my supervisor asked me this one question that I got too nervous about and I didn't quite answer (I kinda started to answer, then I stopped b/c I didn't how to explain it in words). That was my "defense-prep" question apparently. Now I'm just friggin nervous! After that, I helped a summer student w/ her experiments, then I headed back to T.O. I thought, b/c it was thursday, the traffic wouldn't be too bad. Boy was I wrong! It took me 2 1/2 hours to get home! The road was just littered with traffic accidents. OMG!! Boy was I glad when I got home!

This weekend I was @ the Pickering DB festival w/ the Mac team. It was a day of fun in the sun and some fun races. Our boats did pretty well, the boat I was on kept improving all day :D It was great! I got to get to know my teammates a bit better :) And I bumped into a few old friends that I havn't seen in so long! haah I can't wait until the Toronto DB festival :D

Thesis is up to 67 pages & counting (well it's a bit more than that.. but that's what I have formatted so far!) :S
