Tonight's forecast: Adventures, Adventures, and oh yeah! More Adventures.
Okay guys, I know it seems like I blog a lot so if you get tired of me just scroll down the main page and read about someone else (p.s. Mindy's Hong Kong pictures are super cool). This week was crazy...well actually, the crazy parts were Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Okay so Wednesday at 10 AM I have Religion and Culture with Dr. David Otto. This particular Wednesday at 10 AM I had a very important paper due on a book called The Sacred Canopy. Seriously the most difficult book I have ever attempted to read, and I read all the time. Okay so anyhow I get a call from Jacob (my brother, he is also in the class) about 8:30. I am driving home (Bossier, about 25 minutes away) from working out. He was supposed to proof my paper for me. He told me all I needed to do was run it through the "Writer's Checklist" (a Dr. Otto invention). I asked him if he had added in the last part for me and to make a long story short we had misunderstood the assignment. So at 8:30, with an hour before I am to leave for class, my paper is a page and a half too short. I speed home (no tickets, yay!) and frantically begin. Somehow I manage to finish around 9:20, hit print and jump in the shower, planning on grabbing the paper and rushing out the door. Ahem...printer was out of ink.
"Breathe," I think to myself. "Just print it out in the Religious Studies Lounge, it is next door to Otto's class, you'll only be a few minutes late."
Make it to the lounge, plug in my jumpdrive and umm...the printer in the lounge does not work. Ran upstairs to the CLC office (Mama Vaughan's lair) and somehow managed to convey the fact that I need a printer, pronto. You have to understand, I am a little high-strung about grades and school in general and it was 10:15 at this point. Basically, I was on the verge of hyperventilating. I managed to get it printed and Dr. Otto, future saint that he is, accepted it. I just found a picture of him so you would have a face to go with the name. I think he is in India...he does not look like this is class.
Okay so Thursday morning at 9:45 AM I have History. This particular Thursday I have a History test. I am running a little late, but I should get there around 9:50. I am going about ten over, which as most of you know is not speeding, when I see a cop behind me. I slow to five over, and continue on my way for about a mile when he turns on his lights. Wonderful! My lights were on, I was not speeding...what could I possibly be doing wrong? I pull into a driveway and wait for him. Of course, he takes plenty of time, finally comes to my window and asks if I know why I have been pulled over.
Apparently (well no, actually I knew this, but I was pretending like I did not) my temporary license plate was expired...since December. I told him I was sorry, my parents bought the vehicle, they deal with the legal issues, I simply drive. He then asks for my license, which um...I lost in New York...back in November. I try to tell him this but I am stuttering and a bit incoherent because at this point I am ten minutes late for an exam in a room twenty-five minutes away. I am pretty sure he thinks I am lying, and he asks for another piece of identification. Anyways, long story short, I got away with a warning for both things (no tickets). But he scared me so bad he had me convinced that the next cop I saw would pull me over and give me a ticket for sure. So I drive off and of course! get stuck by a train...in front of a different cop. Yay! I was so scared, and frustrated because I was late. The new cop didn't pull me over, thank God, and I called my professor on the way to explain so everything eventually worked out.
Bad things tend to come in threes and nothing has happened today but I am hoping that tonight is adventure free. Well, negative-adventure free anyways.
Be safe guys!

P.S. Okay my four favorite people from last blog were in random order fyi. Apparently this has caused a stir. I love them all equally! :)
