Some people have been clamoring for an update, so here it is.

I would normally write about the week’s occurrences, but I have only one thing on my mind right now – the location of my backpack. You know, the thing you put your books in and walk around with when going to class and such. It’s missing. I realized this about 20 minutes ago and began to have a panic attack. I’m actually still having it, because the bag is still missing.

My first thought was to re-trace my steps. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my days straight. I remembered working in the Cross office from 6:45 to 8 PM and I know I had it with me. I thought I worked on Friday, and Friday is the last time I remember having it with me. So, I walked out to Cross and checked the office – not there. On the walk back, I realized I worked in the Cross office on Thursday, not Friday. Silly me. So then I thought more about Friday. What did I do on Friday? Did I indeed have my bag with me on Friday, or was it Thursday I was thinking about all along? Hmm...I’m not sure.

I know I worked in the Couch Office on Friday for Natasha from 2 to 3:30 PM. Did I have it with me then? I’m not sure, because I had exactly 15 minutes to get ready for my shift (shower and all), so I doubt I remembered to bring it with me.

I had duty rounds Friday night, and I remember going downstairs to open the office up and realizing that I hadn’t brought my books (I was planning on getting some homework done) but couldn’t leave to go get them. Well, I guess it turns out that I couldn’t have gotten them, because they were already missing.

I’ve been thinking as I’ve been writing this, and now I’m pretty sure that the last time I had my bag was on Thursday when I worked out in Cross from 6:45 – 8 PM. What did I do after I worked in Cross? I went to the PC Office for the Murder-Mystery Dinner Meeting!!! I probably left it in the office. I don’t distinctly remember walking back from Cross with it, but if I didn’t, it would still be in the Cross Office. Right? I didn’t go back up to my room before the meeting in the PC Office – I went straight there. All right, so now I’m pretty sure that it’s in the PC Office. Whew, what a relief. Of course, I was pretty sure that it was in the Cross Office earlier, and it wasn’t. So maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high. But the mere possibility of it being in the PC Office puts my mind at ease. At least I’ll be able to sleep, since I’ve got church in 8 hours.

I’ll have to leave Jeremy a message (maybe I’ll do that right now) and call him tomorrow and see if he can let me in there to check. Of course, the office was open on Friday, so if I left it there on Thursday it could very well be gone by now. I sure hope not.

I really hope I find it. I have homework to do! Bedtime now...more on the Case of the Missing Backpack later. Let’s pray for a happy ending.
