so it is only 9:38 am on a beautiful morning and it is already the worst day of my summer.
so about a month and a half ago i recieved a ticket for rolling through a stop sign and my court date was for today at 8:30 am. i woke up at 7 just to make sure id get there on time. so first i am driving up and down van nuys blvd... i cant find the courthouse anywhere. when i finally do find it i am late so i run up to where the room is.
i get there and an officer looks at me and asks "are you here alone?"
"yeah. my parents didnt wanna come. they say that if im old enough to get a ticket then im old enough to pay for it myself" i replied.
he looked at me and said "well i agree with that rule that your parents have but the court does not. go in and see what they say."
so i went inside and gave them all my information and everything they needed and sat down and started to read. they called my name and i definitely thought too soon when i couldnt believe how quickly it went by.
the lady at the desk said to me "we need proof that your parents saw this ticket. either bring them back with you or have them write and sign a letter saying that they saw the ticket. we need to see you back in the next 3 to 4 days."
i just looked at her, grabbed my stuff and walked away. i dont remember the last time i was so stressed and angry so early in the morning. and on top of it im sick.
i am just praaaaaaaaying my summer gets better!
on the bright side... i cleaned out my car!
