So I get home from school today, and i’m getting out of the car collecting all my things but I can’t find my notebook. At first I thought maybe i’d just left it at school, but no, I remember it being in my hands when I left the building. It had to be around the car somewhere. So I keep digging, checking under the seats and what not in case it fell off the seat or something, but its just no where to be found. Then it hits me. Oh no! My hands were really full when I left the school, so full in fact that I had set my notebook on the top of my car to get the door open. Yeah some of you know where this is going. I think at one point or another we’ve all done something like this. I never took the notebook back off the top of the car!

So now its gone. The worst is yet to come though. In that notebook were ALL my measurements and drawings, and other notes regarding my building project! This is certainly not a good thing :( My only avenue at this point is to try and get in to school as early as I can tomorrow morning and rush into the park and measure as much as I can as fast as I can so I have references to work off of during class so I don’t get in trouble :(
