Bad days.

Sometimes, in life, there are times when everything is just perfect.  When all seems to be going your way.  Life is great.  And then you wake up and reality sits in and you realize that there is another batch of fresh trials coming right at you and suddenly nothing is going your way and the entire universe seems out to get you.

That's basically how my day went today.

It's Christmas Break.  I just finished one of the hardest semesters I've ever had to deal with and I just wanted a break.  But today, after having a really good night full of really fantastic dreams, per usual, I found myself hit with three big problems.  Consecutively.

The first was finding out that in the last load of laundry I did, a piece or two of gum had somehow escaped my notice and had been thrown in with my darks.  As a result, a yet undetermined amount of clothing has been "gummified" meaning that at least two shirts now have patches of hardened gum sticking to them.  I currently don't have the funds to replace these shirts, so it's particularly devastating.

Not five minutes after discovering this, I went into the kitchen where my family handed me a letter from my college.  Upon opening it, I discovered that because of my failing grades (which I would find out were really bad about five minutes after reading this letter) I was now on academic suspension.

And then, as previously mentioned, I checked my grades.  I have one A one B+ two D's and a big fat F.  Needless to say, I feel like this entire semester that I struggled so hard with was a complete and utter waste of time.

Overall today started out good, but it has since progressed past the point of my ability to cope and now all I want to do is go back to bed and cry a little.  Or find a magic wand and make all of these problems disappear.

Ugh.  I hope this isn't an omen of how the next year is going to be.  I don't think I can take it.

On a happier note, Merry belated Christmas.  And Happy early New Year.  May this year start off better for you than it has for me.
