Downloads and Desktop folders missing

I'm not sure what happened, but the Downloads and Desktop folders are missing entirely. I'm not talking about the files in them (I had actually just emptied them), but both whole folders!! I think it happened because I deleted the Dropbox installer (I'm regretting accepting that trial period in the first place!). They're not in the Dock or Finder; the items are simply missing. Please help!!! :'(
