Bad Luck Forever

I'm cursed. Really, I am. I have proof:

Claudia and I decided to go to a dancing class (one that I found that finally could fit into my uni and work schedule). I was supposed to meet her today at 6pm which meant that after finishing uni at 5pm, I would wait for an hour.

But uni finished at 1pm which meant I had enough time to go to my grandparents' house (which is closer to uni than mine). So, I waited there excitedly because finally I was going to a dancing class after all the problems I've encountered in trying not only to find one but to find one that wasn't at the same time as uni or work.

So everything is going great until the train decides to stop. Not for a few seconds, or even a few minutes but for 30 freaking minutes!!! With no amount of effort could I establish a telepathic connection with the train willing it to move just A. Few. More. Metres.

Very conveniently, I was stuck in the tunnel which prevented me from calling Claudia to let her know that I did not forget about our well-organised and eagerly awaited meeting.

When the train arrived at the station, I almost jumped out and started running towards the place. I got there 20 minutes late and no Claudia in sight. I quickly dialled her number. Well, she decided that I wasn't coming and left. And it didn't sound like she tried to call either. I cannot believe that she thought I just wouldn't turn up. Although I'm just assuming the last bit 'cause I didn't get to talk too long with her over the phone.

So since I already missed almost half of the lesson and Claudia wasn't even there, I went back to the train station. I thought I was going to cry. Fortunately I didn't.

Do you not believe that something is keeping me from going to dancing lessons?!

'Once is an accident.'
'Twice is a coincidence.'
'Three times is a pattern.'

And this was about the 10th time.

I was really trying to find the funny side to all this but I just couldn't.

And did I mention that I missed a really good party where I had a very good chance of meeting nice guys because I didn't want to cancel on Claudia's and my plans?
