Wow, I've had a tough day

I woke up today like it was any other day. I went upstairs, got ready for my day, did some homework, and then I went out to my car to go to class. Something was wrong though. I moved to unlock my passenger's side door, to put my stuff in, and realized that there was no "click". Immediately, my heart started beating. I opened the door, and everything that had been on the passenger's floor, was on the passenger's seat. Everything, that is, except for my dear Cannon EOS Rebel SLR camera. I looked through my car, and it wasn't anywhere. Not only was the camera gone, but the whole bag, with all of my rolls of film, including two undeveloped, my round d6s, a notebook, and my lens cleaner...just...gone. I started panicking. Someone had not only gotten into my car, but they had stolen from me. I decide(perhaps irrationally) that I need to calm down. I decide to try to drive to school. I didn't make it, I was panicking to hard. I drive back to Tom's house, and look down. My GPS charger, which I always have plugged into the Cigarette holder, was unplugged. I panicked, and opened the center console, and sure enough...my GPS was gone too. I find the GPS charger, sitting on the passenger's seat, but the GPS was taken out of it's custom sleeve. I get to Tom's house, and I check throughout my whole car for anything else that was missing. Everything was still there, though all the bags in my art bag were unzipped.

I went up to Tom's, and he's still at school (i knew he would be). I started crying to Rod, who found me the phone book, and I called the police department. I called Tom, and he came home right away. The police department would call me back (they didn't). Apparently I'm not the first to get hit, and I found out later that I wasn't even the only one that got hit recently. I'm trying to stay calm, but it's hard when my heart keeps screaming. I know that it was only stuff, and I'm not really sad about the GPS, but not only to I feel violated, but that camera meant a lot to me. It was my grandma's. Plus, I love taking pictures (I didn't use the SLR too often, because of the film) and now I have lost my quality photos. I know I will probably never see it again, which caused me to look for a replacement. I will not personally be replacing it anytime soon, it's a bit out of my price range, which makes my heart hurt more. I know this sounds really materialistic of me, but taking pictures is about capturing a moment to me, and it feels like I won't be able to capture moments without it.

But yeah...that was my day.

  1. Oh honey, I'm so sorry *hug* That sounds really frustrating, especially the undeveloped film.
