Majorly distressed

I am majorly distressed. Yesterday I brought my ipod to school because I needed it for something I was working on and later that day it just kinda disappeared. I recall perfectly well taking it out of my purse that morning and just not finding it later after lunch. I really wanna think that I just maybe misplaced it somewhere and thus cannot find it. But I am starting to think that it is possible that someone might have taken it. So far, I have not had anything bad happen to me in Korea, let alone in school. But im seriously starting to wonder if maybe one of the students at school took it. I am hoping they didnt but I cant help but to think that. I already looked in my english room and twice at home and I keep checking my desk over and over again, but nothing. And its not the ipod that uposets me so much, but rather its contents. There are so many things on that ipod that I just cannot afford to lose.... let just hope it turns out somewhere
