Offensive Driving
Ugh.
Back awhile ago (LONG time, as in I forgot about it) I made a right turn at a red light in West Campus and got a ticket. Apparetly there was a sign. I saw no sign, obviously. And if I’d been cognizant of said sign I would have abided by it because trying not to hit a pedstrian in West Campus is like trying not to shoot that proverbial fish in a barrel. I myself have been hit by a car while walking around UT. Not hard or anything, but people are still stupid when it comes to driving around campus.
So I get this ticket and pay it and forget about it until I get a letter saying I have to take defensive driving rightthehellnow or go to court on Thursday. Great! I have nothing else better to do. I now do a killer impression of a Brazos county judge circa 1996.
I chose to do my defensive driving online because I could et it knocked out this weekend and theyd overnight my ceritficate for free. Yay! But sadly, it’s still a huge pain in my ass- the pages are timed and you can’t click away from them for about 5 minutes or so, depending on how boring they are. But I read really fast and I already know drinking alcohol makes kittens cry and whatever so really its just a waste of my time. Boo, Texas Education Agency. Boo manditory organ donor promotional video. You are the lightning in a maelstrom of suck.
3:21 left on the Traction and Friction page. G-forces. Ooo. Last time I did this there was chinese food involved. You guys are jerks. I think if I were doing online defensive driving at Flipnotics while it randomly disconnected my internet from time to time, I’d be an angstball.
Movie with Jen in a bit and Madrigal Party tonight. Churchtacular tomorrow, sewing circle, and more of this nonsense/studying for Monday’s Math Test. MONDAY, LAUREN. YOU HAVE A MATH TEST. ON MONDAY.
