Blank Slate

It's Chinese New Years, and I've lost my wallet. I'm blaming it on the lethargy that creept onto me after that gruellingly dull Database tutorial. I'm sure I've dropped it somewhere between Sydney Smith and Robarts, after I pocked it carelessly when my withdraw request was unsuccessful at the Sydney Smith ATM. Ironicly, only my bank card remains now, since I decided to hold it in my hand rather than put it back into the wallet. There wasn't any money in my wallet, the only thing with immidiate value was my metro pass. All my ids are lost though, health card, driver's liscense, student card.... you name it. I walked all over today, went to every lost and found offices I could imagine. Alas, no luck, I'm afraid the wallet is forever lost. I have to replace all my ids now. I wanted to go the computer lab to distract myself from this predictment. When I got to the lab, I suddenly realized that I can't get in without my student card, ouch. Losing virtually all my ids on New Year, is that an omen of some sort? Symbolically, my ids are everything that identifies me as who I am isn't it? Maybe it means I will break my ties to the past, and become a new me this year, for better or for worse.
