and i thought i had problems!

i came back from my conference with a cold and tons and tons of stuff to catch up on, only to find out that 4 of my students have had deaths in the family!  i hope it's not this cold going around that is turning out to be fatal!  wow, in my ten years of teaching college, i've never ever heard of such bad luck so close to the end of the term!  i'm really surprised!  also, i won the UK lottery and found out that someone related to me just died in a plane crash and i will get $25 million if i only give them my bank account number!  such a rollercoaster of all these dramatic and totally true and real things keep happening!  i wonder what's next?!
