1. 引っ越し早々酷い目に遭った

2. 逆によき先生まで辿り着いたな


I know what they mean, but I just don't know how to express them in English properly. Can anyone help?
*This is from LovePlus Rinko Days Chapter 1, pages 6 and 13 respectively. Raws on Raw-Paradise.

Thanks in advance~

I have no idea about the context of these sentences, so I'm probably off, but perhaps something along the lines of:

1. 引越し早々酷い目に遭って
Even after moving, I run into these awful eyes first thing [in the morning?].

2. 逆によき先生までたどり着いたな
Conversely, even Yogi-sensei struggled with it.

Does this help in any way?

酷い目に遭って is an expression meaning to "have a bad experience"

On the contrary, you worked your way to become a good teacher.

辿り着く (たどりつく・tadoritsuku) means reaching the goal with great efforts in spite of the hardships <This is my definition, so plz see the link that mangafly listed for the official definition.>

よき=よい good

Ending with な (na), so the subject is probably You. In other Japanese words, I would put it something like .... 色々(いろいろ)あったが、がんばっていい先生(せんせい)になったな。:)
