Lost Wallet
So at some point on saturday night I lost my wallet. Blah blah, that sucks, I know. Its a major pain in the ass to loose your wallet because you have to make tons of phone calls to get cards canceled, and worry about your ID turning up somewhere... with someone else. And yeah there was 20 bucks in it, that sucks too.
But whats really started to get to me is how important that bunch of crap in my back pocket really is. I mean, granted I'm only inconvenienced for a week until my new cards come, its taking a serious toll on my psyche. All the sudden I'm no one. I have no ID, no transportation (charlie card was in the wallet), and absolutely no money. I cant get home, because even if I had money for a train ticket, or someone bought me one, I need ID to actually pick it up.
And its scary. For the first time in my life I feel insecure about going out, and scared to death if anything should happen. I had to borrow two dollars from my roommate today just to get downtown. When I got home I went to the coinstar machine to cash in all my change (5 dollars, granted it was all pennies and nickels).
Also, I had to make a concious decision to not eat as much food as I wanted, because it has to last me until my first credit card comes in the mail. I never even had to think of not having food before. Worse case senario I could charge it, worry about the bill months later. Now... Im eating pasta with butter for the next few days.
I'm not looking for pity, or anything near that. There are people off wayyyy worse than me everywhere, its just that for the first time I feel kind of closer to them. I have a roof over my head, and I'm typing on a computer, but all the sudden I just feel so useless and alone. Its really scary what a few pieces of plastic and ink can do to you, and what they can make you.

I forgot everything in math. We had a first day quiz and I burst out laughing because I didnt understand anything. Luckily about a half hour into the lecture I remembered how to do quadratics (topic of the week) so I'm doing quite well. I really do like algebra, solving equations is fun.
In other news boston is still REALLY HOT. That hasnt changed. how this city is able to keep its heat is beyond me, but my air conditioner hasnt gone off yet.
Allright, I'm off to take a shower and go buy some books and get my cell switched (I left my normal one at home)
maybe I'll look into getting an every 2 as well. PUBLISH!
