Quite possibly one of the worse days of luck or is it good luck?

I forgot to write about my horrific cell phone story, which only adds to my hate of cell phones!

My phone is a temperamental brat. After 30 seconds of being on, or conveniently right when I am about to finish entering a long text message my phone decides it is tired, so it takes a nap, no scratch that, more of a hibernation because it refuses to wake up for a few hours. Usually this can be solved by recharging the battery, to re-energize and renew my phone. So I tried this method, only to find one of my prongs on the charger will not stay in place, so when I try to plug it into the wall it will go inside of the charger. I tried multiple angles and plugs to no avail. In frustration I looked over to my coffee table and saw my straight electricity power strip from America. I put two and two together and decided, if my laptop can plug into the wall, then cell phones might run on the same electrical currency as China. So I plugged my China charger into my American powerstrip and stuck my America -> China power converter on and gave it a try. But my highly logical plan fell through and ended up shorting my entire apartment. Rewind quickly, I was in such a rush because I was late for dinner with some friends.

I looked for the breaker box and proceeded to switch every single one off and on, I don't know if that was smart, but it didn't work anyways. So now that my apartment had no electricity I tried to reason with myself that it was no big deal, I didn't really need electricity, and I secretly hoped the entire building was shorted so I wouldn't have to call. But the more logical side came out and I sought out my self proclaimed "nanny" (she took care of all my apt problems). I ran around campus for a while looking for her and eventually found her. Luckily she was able to contact the electrician and he promptly took care of the problem. She asked why I didn't call and I told her about my cell phone so she took me to the store to switch it in. Amazingly when we got to the store my phone worked. I honestly think it needed an electrical jolt, like when people go into cardiac arrest. So yet again "nanny" came through and saved the day.

And to top it off everyone waited for me to order more food, but by the time I got there the service was so bad we left. I guess it was a good thing anyways, I didn't feel like paying 100 kuai for sushi! Oh what a day!
