Coincidence? YOU decide!

readingredheadSo, I've decided to do something I read about a while ago: for a while, I'm going to record every odd "coincidence" that happens to me or that I am a witness to. Anything that qualifies as weird, even if it's just me thinking about calling someone and having them call me right before I pick up the phone.
To that end, I now record my first conincidence:
Lucky Seven?
So we were doing a lab in physics where we got graded down based on the percent error of our results. The experiment involved rolling a marble down a ramp and off the table, and we had to predict where on the ground the marble would fall.
I was in charge of letting go of the marble at the top of the ramp. When I was holding it in my hand, I had a total Guys & Dolls flashback. So I shook the marble in my hand like it was a pair of dice, blew on it, and (thinking of craps) thought, "Come on, lucky seven!"
Our percent error, once calculated, was 7%.

Heh. And I'm annoyed because I had to write MUN resolutions tonight for Edison Conference, and therefore I have yet to write up the physics lab (due 2nd period tomorrow), study for a Spanish test (3rd period), study for a Psychology test (4th period), get caught up in history, read the chapter we'll be quizzed on in AP Gov (6th period), and analyze the poem we were given in English (7th period). So really the only class I did things for was MUN...and even then, not enough.
One word: yuck.
And no one will want me to stay up late to get it all done, even though I know I need to.
