7 years bad luck

so i am finally 21! and might a say what a birthday. i have such amazing friends that really know how to treat a girl on her birthday. but all of this joy was quickly overshadowed by a horrible, horrible event. after stumbling home from the club on saturday night, i go upstairs to pass out when, i knock over the mirror on my vanity and break it. now i am a super superstitious person, so of course i am horrified. the next morning immediately google how i can reverse the 7 years bad luck that normally come with breaking a mirror. they say wait 7 hours and then bury the pieces under moonlight. so to be sure, i am waiting 7 days (which will be tomorrow) and then burying the pieces. but until i do that i figure the bad luck is still haunting me. so this week has been such a nightmare. i won't go into detail, i'll just list my unluckiness that has happened this week:
  • didn't know i had a world religions test and flat out failed it
  • a water pipe broke in my front yeard
  • cut my finger on the glass from the mirror
  • cut another finger while dusting
  • a lizard got into the house and is taunting me from the basement
  • got a massive bruise on my leg, from running into something
  • got shut out of the piano class i want to take, by like minutes
  • i have a cold... again!!
there's more but i can't think of it right now. but the only thing that has kept me going this week despite the ghost of bad luck haunting me is that i have a date tonight. wooooo.
