My Lucky Day
April 24th, 2008 by davidsesin
Have you ever found a bill on the floor, or get a good grade on a test you thought you failed? That is called luck. Some people may think that luck doesn’t exist, they think it is just a matter of coincidence. Well I put it this way, you may encounter with “lucky coincidences.” There can also be bad luck which is the opposite of luck. I don’t believe in bad luck, it can just be that you are having a pretty bad day. Along time ago, I had the luckiest day in my life. Many Fridays ago, I had to go to this guy’s house. I don’t really like him because he is a video game freak, and when I go to his house the only thing he want to do is play video games. Since my parents are friends with his parents I have to go to his house. Ok, before I continue with this story I will go earlier that day. In the morning when I woke up I realized it was already 6:50, and my bus comes to my house exactly at 7:00. I got out of my bed and rushed to the bathroom as fast as I could, to take a bath. Since I was really tired, half sleep, and the water was hot and steamy, I wasted 10 minutes taking a bath. I was sure that the bus already passed, but it hadn’t passed by. Quickly I rushed down stairs, and luckily there was pancakes my favorite break fast. The clock was running and the bus hadn’t passed by yet. I knew that it would pass in any minute so I crammed all the food into my mouth, and ran back to the bathroom. In the bathroom I quickly brushed my teeth, and after that sprinted to my room to get my back pack, and ran downstairs to see if the bus was their yet. Luckily it still hadn’t passed by, so I sat and waited. As I waited, I was wondering if it already passed and I was thinking it hadn’t passed yet. Well, to make this long story short, they called from the school saying that the street that leads to my house was closed. Since that street is pretty far from my house, I tried to convince my mom to let us stay home, but unfortunately she denied my proposal. She found another way to go to school. I was a bit disappointed that I had to go to school. When we got to school a flash came into my mind. I had forgotten I had a test today! I got really worried and started panicking. I knew there was no choice I had to take the test. I got to class and they gave me the test right away. I started sweating and getting more and more worried. When I saw the test I didn’t know half of the answers, but fortunately it was multiple choice so I still had a chance. I filled in the ones I was confident I knew the answers and left the rest until the end. I guessed the other half, and I was really sure I would fail. During the day I went to have lunch, but when I checked my pocket it wasn’t there. I didn’t have any money to eat and the rest of the day was mad and grumpy. My mom picked my up at school,( this is the part when we go back to the story was telling you.) I told my mom everything that happened in my day. In this point of the story I guess you are asking yourself “How is this a lucky day?” You will see how my day turned around and resulted to be one of the best days of my life. My mom took me to eat at MacDonalds I was in the parking lot wondering around when I suddenly see 4 10,000 Colones bills lying on the floor!( 4 ten thousand colones bills are the same as 80$) There was nobody near the money so I decided I should take it, so I took them. My mom was surprised and went inside the restaurant and asked the people if it was theirs. Since everybody said it was their money my mom gave it back to me. We where going to the video game freak’s house when she suddenly received a call saying that the guy was really sick and I couldn’t go to his house. I leaped from happiness and I was really happy. When we got back home my cousin called saying if he could come to my house. Since he is really fun he came to my house and we had fun playing sports and other games. Finally the weekend ended and on monday they were about to give me my test. My teacher looked at me with a mean and taunting look as she gave me the test. In my head I thought ” I failed this test” I was really disappointed as I turned my test upside down to see my grade. I slowly turned it around and then I saw a 91! I was really surprised with my grade and screamed “yes!”Well, this was the luckiest day of my life and things like these don’t happen often. So do not risk your grade by not studying and guessing all the answers. I am happy I had a day like this and I hope a I get another day like this again.

Seems that you had a pretty bad day except for the EIGHTY dollars that you found on the floor, hehe sorry about that I had to say that, its true anyways 40,000 colones aren’t 100 dollars, more like 80.

Well, since that was a long time ago I already used it. I bought an I pod, I know 80$ is not enough, but I had other savings.
