Mugged.

I just got back from the Police Station where a Detective was making me look at mug shots. I got mugged on the weekend. I was loitering near a subway map at the Montrose L stop when a tall man came up to me. I thought he was going to hurt me but he just wanted my bag. I had my wallet in my hand and I dropped it while he was trying to pull my bag off my shoulder. Then he ran off with my wallet. As far as muggings go it wasn't a big deal but it's times like that when you really miss home. :(

The police made me drive around with them in the police car and look for the 'assailant'. That was an unusual experience. When I got home my housemates were really supportive and kind and it was a great excuse to talk to friends and family back home.
