After getting robbed

I feel like this.


This past Thursday as I was walking home from class with a friend around 7pm, when two young boys, maybe around 18 years old, robbed us at knifepoint.

They took my whole bag which had: My keys, my sunglasses, my cell phone, my wallet with my ID, credit card and money, and my one and only notebook with all my notes for all my classes in it. (Not to mention my bag was new and really awesome)

We called the police and everything but they didn't show up until literally an hour afterwards, and it was clear that they couldn't/weren't going to do anything, because unfortunately this sort of stuff happens all the time here.

That's what you get for having pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes around here: I am a target-- a very obvious one.

Besides not having my schoolwork, or a cell phone, I now only have about 40 dollars American to survive on until my new credit card gets here in a couple of weeks.

I'm pretty upset but I'm trying really hard to stay positive, and I'm definately thankful that I'm OK and didn't get stabbed or anything.

And so life goes on.
