If you don't know already what's happened please refer to the post below this one entitled "MUGGED." There you can be caught up on the most recent turn of events in my life.

Now for this post...

Try sleeping after you've been mugged earlier that day,...this is the challenge I am facing right now. Instead, I am downstairs in the basement of my residence hall writing this.

I gave it a go...I really did, trying to sleep that is. You can't help but replay the incident over and over in your head, working out all the scenarios possible and what exactly they're doing with all your stuff. What could I have done differently to avoid it, if anything? Then again, your mind is telling you there's probably nothing that could have prevented it. When five people go after you like they did today I don't think much could have been different.

In the darkness trying to sleep I could feel my jaw throbbing, my head pounding, my body aching, and the scratches and bruises from falling on the concrete rub against my constricting sheets.

I'll go back up there momentarily. I am shivering while typing this. I don't know if its because I'm cold or something else...

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for filling my Facebook wall up with well wishes; I have been blessed with some of the greatest people alongside of me, I don't know where I would be without you all, or who I would be for that matter. I genuinely owe each of you more than a comment back on a wall and know that I will help any of you with anything you need help with. I've decided to write each of you a personalized thank you card on the train ride home to fill the time, 8 hours of thank you card writing back and forth should be sufficient.

Again, really people, thank you thank you thank you. Expect those cards soon
