Week of Misfortunes

When I envision summer, I see myself lying on the beach, getting tan with friends, drinking margaritas and relaxing. Pretty much living in my background picture.

Instead, this week has been nothing less than fucking stressful and terrible.

Unlucky situation 1

On Monday I was walking into the art building to go pee. The door smashed into my leg, made a direct hit with my front right pocket, smashed my car keys which shattered my iPhone screen.

Unlucky situation 2

On Wednesday night I drove to campus to take advantage of the lab hours. I left at 11 P.M. I was about half way home when within a split second I saw a raccoon standing in the middle of road. I didn’t have time to break or swerve. I clobbered the raccoon going 45 mph. It was one of the most horrible moments in my entire life. The impact was so intense. Imagine someone throwing a basketball against a garage door as hard as they could. That’s what it sounded like. I felt the body catapult under my car. I was screaming and shaking.  I couldn’t sleep last night in fear I would have a nightmare from it.

Unlucky situation 3

This morning I was driving to school and couldn’t focus at all. I kept replaying the accident from last night in my mind as I drove past the scene of the crime. And JUST when I thought nothing could possibly get any worse…
Life shit on me again.

I got into a fender bender.

  2. AGD: Wow, that is a lot of chaos in one short time frame, I'm glad you were not injured, so that's the hidden blessing. Some people believe misfortune comes in a series of 3, so if that's true, you are due for some good luck around the corner.

  3. I wonder if the racoon left behind any orphans. They will starve to death without their mother.
