Luck?

So yesterday, my luck could probably have not gotten much worse. I had only gotten like 4 hours of sleep the night before. The day started with my laundry stalking. Then I was starving and I was supposed to go shopping for some new NZ clothes with Terra. That is when my luck turned around:
1. We go to meet the bus, realize there is a different weekend bus schedule and a bus comes in one hour.
2. We go to meet that bus that is supposed to arrive at 2:00 and it shows up 10min late. It gets worse, there is not enough room on the bus. So now we have to wait one more hour to get a bus. All this while I am growing increasingly hungry, never a good sign. I bagan feeling faint, shaky and like I might vom--> a normal occurence in the life of a Jane.
3. The bus finally comes, but then we realize the bus home leaves too early to actually do much clothing shopping, So we settle on that really good turkish restaurant. (and of course that didn't disappoint).
4. Earlier in the week we decided to get the seasons of sex in the city and watch them while we were here. We first checked the uni library, they had all the seasons except season 1. So in town we think ok we will get blockbuster cards and rent season 1, you guessed it? NO season 1. We setteled with season 2, bought a carton of ice cream and decide that is what we will do the rest of the night.
5. Now the emabarrasing part occurs, we tried using 3 different DVD players in several different TV rooms, and none of them would work. We are thinking are NZ DVD players different are we missing something. We began asking every individual who comes into sight if they could assist us. We become crazed with the thought of not getting to watch our Sex in the city. Eventually we beg our RA's to let us into a common room we are not supposed to be in. The DVD goes into the new player and actually work, we think finally after 2 hours of trying. We snuggle in turn the lights of and our ready for our show. However, Carrie Bradshaw begins talking, although she is now speaking French. That was the last straw and I jsut lost it in laughter. Eventually we figured out the lang. settings and got it to english and watched 3 episodes. Then went to bed.
6. My luck continues this morning and I already locked myself out (the second time in a week)

Today I am going to visit a wind farm and the manawatu gorge, I will let you know how it goes.
love Jane
