Hi!
Is there a belief in your country that Friday 13th is an unlucky day?
I think it's quite a bad day though.
I don't like it and I'm trying to be careful.
This year has three Friday 13th (in January, April and July).

I'm feeling much better today.
I'm still coughing, but I don't have a sore throat anymore.
So, I went with my friends to the library.
When we met we realized that the bus had just gone.
We didn't want to wait 30 minutes for the next bus, so we walked to the library.
In the middle of the way, the snow started to fall heavily and we decided to hurry a little bit.
It lasted around 25 minutes to get to the library.
When we got there, I got wet with sweat.
I didn't want to catch an illness again, so when my friends borrowed their books they went home without me.
I remained at the warm library.
To make things worse, I didn't borrow any books, because they had been already borrowed.
I got out the library without anything.
On the way home, the snow was falling even more heavily than before, so I got wet with sweat again.
I drank a cup of tea with a honey at home and I hope I won't feel sick.

It was a really bad decision to go to the library today.
I wish I hadn't been there.
Cheers from Poland!

  • In the middle of the way, the snow started to fall heavily and we decided to hurry a little bit.

  • Half the way there, the snow started to fall heavily and we decided to hurry a little bit.

 
  • When we got there, I got wet with sweat.

  • When we got there, I was sweaty ( you can say, "wet with sweat" but it sounds kind of weird).

 
  • I didn't want to catch an illness again, so when my friends borrowed their books they went home without me.

  • I didn't want to catch an illness (you can say "illness" but it is more common to say "catch a cold") again, so when my friends checked out their books, they went home without me.

 
  • To make things worse, I didn't borrow any books, because they had been already borrowed.

  • To make things worse, I didn't check out any books, because they were all checked out.

 
  • I got out the library without anything.

  • I left the library without anything.

 
  • On the way home, the snow was falling even more heavily than before, so I got wet with sweat again.

  • On the way home, the snow was falling even heavier (you don't have to change it, but it flows better) than before, so I was sweaty again

 
  • I drank a cup of tea with a honey at home and I hope I won't feel sick.

  • I drank a cup of tea with a (nothing has to go here, but you can say "some", not "a".) honey at home and I hope I won't feel sick.

 
  • I wish I hadn't been there.

  • I wish I hadn't gone there. ( you regret the journey, not the destination)

 
Thank you for your correction!

  • It lasted took around 25 minutes to get to the library.

 

Friday the 13th is thought to be an unlucky day here too, but I don't mind it because 13 is one of my favorite numbers. (:
