Threes.

Yesterday may or may not have been one of the worst days I've experienced in my life. I'm a believer in threes. Good, bad, ugly things that happen in threes.

1.) Someone apparently wanted to steal my money and credit cards. I was in the library all weekend and somehow, it was ok to just take all of it out of my wallet when I left it unattended. Nice.

2.) The school heard about the skeevy 2L's bar review assault on me and want to hold disciplinary actions against him. So on top of my first semester, I have to go in, explain how i'm petrified of being on campus because I don't want to run into a boy that bit my ear, grabbed my tit and pinned me against the bar while drinking with my fellow colleagues.

oh wait but it gets better.

3.) My very wonderful and loving second family in Orlando has been hit with such awfulness that I can't even bring myself to say it or even think about it. My parents used to double date with their best friends, Patrick and Leeza who subsequently all got married at the same time. They, like my parents, produced 3 children: Myk, 24, Abigail, 21, Raymond, 16. [Ages look familiar?] It was always our parents dream to all end up together (well minus Emily and Abby) - Who wouldnt want their children to marry their best friends children? And Myk and I were always very close. (Granted, it would never had happen - Myk and I were never attracted to each other). Unfortunately, and sadly, that would never happen as Myk died a few days ago. I won't speculate or even explain what happened but know this: my devastation is insurmountable and I grieve. I grieve for Pat, Leeza, Abby and Ray. I grieve for my 23 years of memories with Myk. I pray that he's in a better place.

And I hope, no matter what, that he finally rests in peace.
