Ugh. Caught by the copers!
You know getting a ticket doesn't feel particulary great. (Although I did feel for the cop...he seemed to be particularly grumpy this evening). But it really isn't too bad. Until my mother decided that I probably don't feel crappy enough so the car should be taken away, and I should have to drop out of the only class that I actually love at school (I don't know how that relates to how long I stop at stop signs).
I am excited about the car being taken away. Now, I get to ride my bike everywhere, which my parents wouldn't let me do when I had the car. So that is sweet. But, dropping out of the class upsets me, because that means I will have to make up that credit over summer. Plus not be able to go camping/hiking/caving/rock climbing every weekend really blows.
Living with/Obeying irrational people is very difficult.

Tsk, tsk. Teenagers and their lack of respect for common traffic laws.
Tickets tick me off. They're so arbitrary.
One person can be a flagrant offender for years, but know how to work the system and avoid a ticket. Another person can be a good driver and thus not learn how to work the system, and then if they make one little mistake they WILL get a ticket.
Getting a ticket crushes my spirit for at least a week. The residual effects are harder to measure. It makes me lose faith in a lot of things. Government and stuff. Maybe I should just be an anarchist.
Hey, I apologize for assuming that you actually did deserve the ticket. I should have checked first.
In that case.. That pretty much stinks.
