Default Horrible Week!!!

I need to vent! This week has been terrible...multiple midterms and very little sleep. I also bought 3 items on ebay from 3 different sellers and all 3 are scams in different ways!!! Last night I lost my wallet (fell out of my pocket in the cafeteria of my dorm) and this morning I was told that it was found, however I got it back minus the $120 cash I had in it. I'm dying!!!

Well, one thing went my way this week. I didn't miss a workout.

Ouch, tough week. You'll get over it, the only people who should be concerned are the ones who scammed you. What goes around comes around.

Well, at least you didn't miss a workout. Let's keep the important things in perspective.

If you ever find the guy that took the cash, you want to be in top shape to kick his ass.

That is a hellish week. I had a similar one. The only thing you can do is pray for next week to come.

My neighbor and friend just passed away, pretty unexpectedly, on Tuesday, after a long bout with cancer, leaving her husband and twin 5 year old girls. I was having a pretty rough week until that--it put lots of things in perspective. I've hugged my wife and kid a little tighter and longer this week...

Well, thanks for the positive perspective guys, just what I needed. The bad week goes on - I didnt hear my alarm this morning and missed weightlifting class, which I really wanted to go to, plus theres an attendance grade!
Fish, I'm very sorry to hear about that. Whenever a loved one is lost it makes you love everyone else more, in some ways its a valuable wake-up call.

*Note.. Fishr.. I wrote this before reading your comment.. really sorry to hear about your loss and imagine the sadness for the husband and the twins... my deepest condolences.*

ZACHL

I've had some pretty bad periods in my life where à whole lot of things went wrong one after the other.. and one of those times I thought to myself.."OK! if just ONE other thing goes wrong, I'll have enough to write a book!" It actually made me laugh.. and things started going better after that.

So I'll have to wait for another real bad-luck streak to write a book!

and I think about it each time multiple things start going wrong and it makes me smile [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

good luck

Zach I know what that alarm clock deal is like. I have 2 alarms on my cell fone and another convential alarm clock. I have to throw them under my bed or under the couch in my room so I have to actually get up out of bed to turn them off. Put your alarm clock on the other side of the room if you don't get up for it and just subconsciously smack the snooze button. It actually does help.

Fish,
Sorry to hear about your friend passing away. I have had glimpses into your perspective on life and that you will somehow gain stregth to deal with this.
