this morning, i get to school, and am sitting in the hallway waiting for the painting studio's doors to unlock. i forgot my card, so i was unable to unlock them myself. then i noticed that there was a clear puddle next to me, and it was growing. >.< my water bottle's lid had come uncapped and had leaked it's entire contents of water into my backpack. luckily none of my books or paper were drenched. so with my janitor friend, we cleaned up the puddle and dried my backpack the best we could. then she unlocked the painting studio early to let me sneak in, and i set my damp folder on one of the tables to air dry while i painted. later when i had to go to class i gathered everything up, it was nearly dry, put it back into my backpack, and headed off to class.

when i got to class i discovered that there was paint in my backpack, which confused me. i had hung my backpack up in my locker where there wasn't any paint, so where did this paint come from? i wiped it up, then got my paper organized on my desk for class. later i reach back into my backpack to get my tablet out, and discover MORE paint. ARGH! where is all this paint coming from?!?! later, in my printmaking class, i discovered yet more paint. but i also found the source. evidently, when i had put my damp folder on the table to dry, i had set in somebody's palet, and the paint had gotten on my folder. when i put the folder back in my backpack, it got smeared all inside my backpack. so i got some mineral spirits and cleaned it all up. so far i haven't run into anymore mysterious paint, so i think i finally got rid of it all.
