Okay, so I feel like my karma is just biting me so badly right now. -_-

My friend Ashley just told me one day, "Kitsy, I'm coming over to your house Friday," I knew I shouldn't have agreed to the idea because I should be using my weekends to study and catch up with school. But... I thought there wouldn't be any harm in it.

All of my friends planned on going to my house Friday, but then my conscious got the best of me. I had to go to Saturday school, so why should I have them come over when I don't deserve it?

I made up a lie and said that my father didn't let me have a sleepover since I was going to attend Saturday school (I had to go to Saturday school if I was missing a few math homework assignments).

So, it ended up getting pushed till this week. I still didn't finish my homework. I still have to study.

So, Lauren and Samantha were going to come. They changed their minds a few days ago because their friend Gracie is coming out this weekend and they haven't seen her in a year. Serene was supposed to come, but her mom wouldn't let me have her Friday night because it was her weekend. I asked her mom, "Well, you have Serene go to bed at 8 o'clock anyways, so can I pick her up at 9?" Serene is not 10, she's 16 years old in case you were wondering. Her mother is a control freak. -_-... that's another story. then I called up Sara, her mom wouldn't let her go either.

Pfft... then I call Ashley and she's all disappointed at how it all got canceled.

I feel like this happens to me all the time because of my karma. Every single time, the karma comes back at me. Well, I'll just spend the time catching up in school. =/

What about you? Ever had one of those times where you planned out something nice, and it didn't work out? Ever felt like things happen because of your mistakes... and karma comes at ya?

I've had this happen many times before, and I've learned from experience that it's best not to make plans if you have other things that -need- to be done beforehand, such as catching up in school.

Yes, I think I've finally learned my lesson, but knowing me I'll probably end up making the same mistake again.

Dx

All the time. People's schedules change for a lot of reasons, especially when they are still in high school and have parents to tell them they can't do something. But yeah, if you're behind in school there is no reason to be making plans.

Probably the worst memory I have of this was my 21st birthday. It's a big deal here in America, right? And it fell on a Saturday, so I thought "Perfect! Everyone'll be able to come." I didn't have a whole lot planned, because I'm not much of a drinker, but that didn't make it less important. All I wanted was to go out to a restaurant that served alcohol, and have dinner with a few of my friends. One of my friends says he can't be there until Sunday, can I postpone, so I agree. No problem, right? I mean, Saturday may be the ideal day for going out, but we were all college students, we knew stayed up late every night. And sure, it wasn't actually the BIG DAY, but it wasn't like I'd never drank before. So Sunday roles around, he calls up, "I'm going to be late, can you wait for me?" He didn't get back in town until 10:15 at night. Most of the local restaurants were about to close. We finally go somewhere, and guess what he does? He leaves before we've even ordered. Some birthday that was.

I'm not sure that's karma so much as circumstance.
Karma is more about good and bad. You do good things, help people out when they need it, and you get good karma(someone helps you when you really need the help). If you do bad things, like you're completely mean to people, you get bad karma(you lose you job the same week you have to pay a bunch of money and are now screwed).
I don't think that it's bad karma for you to cancel a sleepover. Especially since you did it for a good reason. If I had to be up and at school on a Saturday morning, there's no way I'd have people over that Friday night. You were being mature, making a reasonable and rational decision.
Your friends not being able to make it this weekend really is just circumstance. It happens to everyone. I'm sure there will be other weekends in which your friends can stay over and you won't have Saturday school.
I give you major kudos, by the way, for cancelling. A lot of people would have done it anyways, and then suffered because of it. I think you handled it right.
