This Sucks!

Today I went outside to pump up my bike tires before heading to campus. I get to the bike rack and notice my bike is nowhere to be found. Some time within the last two weeks my bike was stolen. Then later this evening I was in class looking for my pulse life scribe pen that I just got for christmas. It was nowhere to be found. I figured it had to be somewhere in my backpack buried under all my books. I get home, empty everything, look every where and even in my car. It was no where to be found. I am pretty sure it was stolen when a zipper was open during lab yesterday. I suspect one of the students that I was tutoring for stole it while I was busy walking around the room helping the other students.

I was so excited about this pen. It was like a little computer in a pen form. It visually recorded my notes as well as audio. Had a calculator and all kinds of cool applications to be downloaded. Basically some bastard just stole themselves a $200 toy that was mine.

Needless to say I am extremely upset to how this day of thievery had ended.

Life

These past two days I have been feeling very emotional. It must be a combination of recent events, hormones and other things uncontrollable in my life. Tonight I just found out two of my friends just got engaged. I am so excited for them and excited to see them finally tie the knot. The cycle of life so many of my friends are getting married. I also became an auntie when my childhood friend just recently had her first son. Then within 10 minutes of getting the engagement news I received an email from one of my professors. A classmate of mine, whom I was able to get to know last quarter was killed by a drunk driver. He and his mom were driving and instantly killed. I can't believe he is dead. We would talk every class about the class we were both going to take at Sac State for the CLS program. We were both applying to the same schools and I even bought a text book off of him. He was 22 years old getting ready to graduate from College in June. I can't even begin to Imagine how his family is dealing with this tragedy, and having to spend the holiday season mourning instead of celebrating.
