Today, after months of looking, my fiancé and I finally signed a lease. We are using my savings to pay for it. This apparently poses a "moral dilemma" for my in-laws who think we should wait to be married. I'm paying for an apartment I'm not allowed to live in. FML

go get it from the trash, unless she shredded it. and if she took it outside to the trash can then just rip the bag open and get it out. if it's a stack and not 1 or 2 papers it shouldn't be hard to find.

I had to do exactly this once in high school. I needed those notes to pass and I had to pass that test or I'd lose a scholarship that required you to have a perfect 4.0 I have to say, copying my notes over to fresh paper was some of the most effective studying I ever did. passed the test with a perfect score and even aced all 4 bonus questions.
