Cadillac

As I struggle to enter the fifth stage of the Kubler-Ross model with regard to the lost bag and money, I also begin to appreciate that before the incident, I was on a very long winning streak in life. Things had been going swimmingly well for the longest time. Year two was a near-perfect year. The misfortunes of this academic year were so slight as to be almost laughable - a cancelled flight, an internship rejection, the DUO award rejection. On the other hand, so many good things happened - a financial award, exchange to my first choice of school, solid results with reasonable effort, a law journal position, two very good holidays, two good internships - that it should seem perfectly fair that something bad eventually happens. The unfair thing is that it also happened to Nicole.
