What can I say? I've had a bad couple of weeks, first I had mock exams for the last two weeks, those were ok, but then We decided to head north for a few days to celebrate our aunt and grandma's birthdays.. and that was the weekend everything went wrong..
So sit back, relax and be amazed by my bad Karma in the last few weeks..
Alright now I shall take you one week and two days back into the past to Friday the 15th of September (Thursday the 14th of September for those of you who arn't in New Zealand) Lets start at the beginning of my day.. I woke up at 7:00 am as usual, ready to tackle my Health mock exam. I head off to my exam and imerge at 11:40 am and head home to get ready for our trip north.
Ok, its about 1:10 pm and we are on the road finally with me driving (I love driving ^^
wink and everything is going well so far. light trafic on the roads and good weather conditions. We were on the way to pick my older sister up who lives about an hour and a half North of us. All's going well, my temprature guage was showing a good temprature. I get into the lane to turn off to get to where my older sis lives and.. My car dies.. all the warning lights suddenly come on and I lose speed.
I was the first to notice steam rising from the hood of my car..
We manage to push the car to the side of the road and my dad and I try to patch it up enough to make it to my sister's place but it doesn't work..
We end up calling my sister to come and rescue us. She shows up and we finally manage to get the car started and decide to nurse it slowly back home so we could take the other car.
Ok, it is now about 3:30 pm and we are back home and about to leave in the other car. Everything goes smoothly as we continue North for the 6+ hour journy. We stop at 9:30 for dinner to which I take over driving one of the most difficult streaches of road in total darkness ((I had my headlights.. but they only help so much..)) I manage to get through that with great effort. it's about 10:30 pm now and all is going well right up until we get to a small town in the middle of no where.. and.. the Car breaks down..
After spending some time trying to get it up and running, we give up and end up taking a room at the local lodge for the night.
Saturday the 16th (Friday the 15th for you guys) Dad and I are up early to walk back down to the car to assess the dammage. We go to the local garage and see what they can do. They can fix it but it's a big job.. My dad hitch hikes to the next major center south, where he rents a car and comes back to take us home.
We get home and Fix the first car ((Or so we thought)) and a week rolls by uneventfully until yesterday Sunday the 24th ((Satruday the 23rd)) were I decided to visit my older Sis.
I left at 8:05 am and everything was going alright, the weather wasn't the best for driving but that was ok.
I got to exactly the same place we did last time to turn off and get to the city where my sister lives.. and Bam! my car dies.. AGAIN!!
So she rescues me and the sort and my dad returns from up north having just picked up our other broken car.
We decide to tow the car home, This was NOT one of my faveorite expreiences..
But in anycase, that was my last few weeks in a nut shell.. now I just need to figgure what he heck is wrong with my car and fix it before Friday when I next have work..
Why does Karma hate me so?
Until next time...
What you remember... that is the illusion."[~]
