Depressed -_- (lost pancake3 book)
Hi guys I'm sorry for spamming your friends page but I thought it would be a good idea to get my anger out a bit by writing down how I feel.
So this is what's going on. I am currently in my first year of college and when I was in 12th grade I was in an art class with an amazing teacher. During that time she told me and my friends about this magazine project that we could participate in where the project company would send us these small maybe 30 page sketchbooks made by them, I believe we had to pay a fee to get them though and we were given about I'd say 5 to 6 months to fill them up with drawings cut outs poems, basically anything creative and we when we finished around may of that year the books would all be delivered to the company's warehouse where they would be scanned and some of the pages with our names and name of our high school would be published in their yearly creative magazine book and then have an art show for the people who participated and their books. During the time when I was working on the book, I worked really hard on it and had so much fun making it with my friends I also made a tribute page for arashi.I took a lot of time working on it because I was so excited about getting it published even though it was for high schools across the state and they didn't expect the pages to be that great but I was excited. I put a ton of work in to it and made a cover for it with flower patterns and electric tape and tied in strings on the side.
Then when may rolled around my teacher collected all of the books and they got picked up by a truck and were sent to the warehouse and she told us all we had to do was wait z couple months till they can finalize everything scan them and then send them back to us. I was excitedly waiting to get the published magazine and my sketch book back but the months pass by and then college started. A couple of months ago I contacted the company on how everything was going and the guy told me that they were having trouble getting the funding to get the book published and that he was waiting to find out if it came through ( fyi they had published the book the year before and I believe a couple more before that) so I agreed to wait until he found out to contact him again. After a couple weeks and more phone calls I called him again to find out what had happened and he had explained that they funding did not come through and that all the books were sent back to the high schools to be returned to the students, of course I was in college already so I had to have my friends brother pick them up for me and her and our other friend who went to college in another state.
So he goes to pick them up from my old art teacher and she gives him my 2 friends books and she tells him that mine is not even there. I find this out and call her and she says that when the box of books came back mine was the only one that wasn't in there. I was angry and upset because i put so much work in to it and I couldn't even get it back I felt robbed. So I contacted the head of the project and he told me they were never opened but that can't be true or else mine would have been in there so he gave me a different number to call and ask and the person said that they didn't know where it was either. My art teacher went around and asked the other teachers who participated in the project if they had gotten it mistakenly and no luck. So basically I sent the woman scans of some of the drawings inside of it ( I only have some of the pages scanned but not even a pic of the cover)to see if anyone can find it but it doesn't seem hopeful. so that's my story :(
Here's a couple of scans of the pages that were in it they may not be the best pictures but the book was important to me and I feel bad about it being gone.
