Calamity Jane

A mouse ran away the other day and we only found her something like 3-4 days later. She was in a humane mouse trap but by then, she was considerably stressed and weak from starvation and dehydration. We tried to revive her with glucose and saline shots, but to no avail. She passed on the next day, cold and grey. She shouldn't have run away in the first place. It did not benefit neither her nor myself.

This kind of depicts where I'm at with Honours at the moment. I feel like as if everything I do has no benefit to anyone. I've also become increasingly careless, leading to more frustration. I've always sort of believed in the whole "good luck" - "bad luck" cycle. Where if today sucks, and it sucks in more or less threes, then things will start to pick up. In more or less threes. Maybe its an observation that had been moulded by mindsets cos lately, iIt doesnt seem to be picking up at all and this "bad luck" cycle sure aint stopping at three!

There are two possible explanations:

1. Im doomed to calamity for all eternity
2. Im just not seeing the good things in life anymore

I wonder if its the latter. It better not be. Cos if it is, it means I've become an adult. Yuck.
