ONU Blog: Bad Mojo

This week has been an interesting week for me. College always has it's new and old challenges each semester, but this...this is different. Nothing too bad has happened but so many minorly inconvenient things have happened since the semester began that I can't help but think of the oddity of it all.

This all started with a week-long incident in Lima Complex at ONU. I will not go into detail because it is not my place, but know that this took seven days, the entire Lima Complex staff and Public Safety to solve. That was the start of this series of events that have no relation to each other in subject, but I somehow am partially involved in all of them.

Within a few days of that occurring, someone stole the gas cap off my car. Normally at ONU, the hijinks are limited to stealing bike seats and late-night dorm parties. But stealing a gas cap off of someone's car, really? On top of that there wan not much that Public Safety could do for me because it is untraceable. It is a simple fix that cost me no less than $20. Though, like the rest of these events, it was inconvenient. 

Then only a day later the power went out across campus. I was doing a very important online assignment at that time and if I exited the assignment it would close itself off. The professor was understanding of the situation thankfully. 

To top it all off, only two days ago, my American Sign Language class was cancelled until further notice. The professor had some personal matters to deal with and left suddenly with only telling the dean of the arts and sciences college that she was doing so. This was a cherry on top because other minor inconvenient things have happened in-between all these larger events, but this was borderline making me upset. Thankfully, the college is working on finding a replacement professor to continue the course in some way, shape or form. 

I am thoroughly exhausted from all the little stuff that has happened lately. Hopefully, things will be brighter soon.
