What's the World Coming To?

What's the world coming to when your paper is no longer safe in your room....lol!

Ok so last year in the fall (fall of '07) I would have money missing from my room and some cherry coke and some food here and there. Very weird, and other people had money stolen and such. So then I started to hide my money in places no one could find it. Well after I switched rooms last spring I haven't had anything missing. I figured since it was easier to keep my room locked and the fact that I was a bit closer to the middle of the hallway. Well this past semester I didn't get anything stolen or so I thought. I had in one of my desk drawers 1 1/2 packs of loose leaf notebook paper. I used them when I took notes on what I would read. Well at the end of the semester I had to clean out one desk just in case I would happen to be assigned a roommate. I don't remember if I did move the packs of paper to the other desk, but I do remember having them that last week of classes. Anyway, last night I was doing some reading to prepare for a quiz in which I needed paper. I looked in the desk I had everything in now and could not find these two packs. I relooked in the empty desk. Wasn't there either. I looked on my bookshelf, I looked in my dresser, I looked in my closet. No where to be found. So I have come to the conclusion that someone stole my paper.

Now why would someone steal something as cheap as paper?? I mean I do have other more expensive things in my room like batteries or my digital camer or laptop or tv, or dvds, or food. I mean pretty much anything else in my room is worth more than that paper. Basically my thief is either not very smart or just wants me to be confused.

In other news I went and saw the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Long movie....almost didn't make it lol. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I mean its probably worth seeing at least once, but I am not going to see it again.

Oh I went apartment hunting too. We found these awesome apartments with vaulted ceilings, an electric fireplace, keyless entry, a coffee shop, a free movie theater, a pool, tanning beds, a pool table and shuffle board. It was awesome. Of course the only way to afford it would be to put a deposit down now and get this deal they are currently having. Another thing would be that one of the girls (there are three of us) that I'm rooming with will be leaving after december so me and the other girl would have to find another roommate to be able to afford the apartment when she leaves. Which then leads me to the apartments that we are wanting now, which are not as nice, but the rooms are pretty spacious and its cheap. only $425 a month with utilities a flat rate of $150 a month. That is less than $200 a person per month and after the one girl leaves, the two of us can still afford it. We would probably have to paint and get the carpets cleaned and stuff before we move in, but it still would be nice and it is really close to the school cuz I'll be havivng grad classes in the evening. So even though that one apartment complex is really awesome and amazing, this one is more practical and cheaper.

Well, I am going to do some more reading before class. I'll probably blog again soon considering tomorrow is my birthday and I am excited!!! We are going to eat at Lamberts and then have an office party where we will be watching the episodes with birthdays! I am way excited!
