Phew....
Well, I'm feeling a lot better.
School is over with for the year. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Now I'm just sitting on pins and needles waiting for my grades. I can only make 1 'B' or 2 'B+'s to keep my scholarship. I have to make at least a 3.75 or else I can't move out. I REALLY want to. So pray for me! :/ I worked REALLY hard this semester for it, hopefully my work will pay off.
I was really upset about finding out about Kate's possibility of moving out w/ Scott, but I've been thinking about it, and I can't get too upset about it, because I love Kate to death, but if she would rather live with him, I don't want her to live with me if that's not what she wants. She said it's just an option, but I dunno, Heather seems pretty set on it. Maybe that's just Heather though, I dunno. And I mean, that's really great that they re-found their best-friendship. So if Katie decides to move in with Scott or Heather, Ashley REALLY wants to live with Alex and me, which would be really awesome b/c we've always talked about living together since we were little. So either way, I'll be living with a good friend.
I got a ticket today... the cop said I was going 82 in a 55, and then he said he'd drop it to 74 in a 55, but I know for sure that I wasn't even going 74!! First of all, my radar detector did not go off, I slammed my breaks before I got to him, and he was just pulling off of the side of the road, so he was facing forward- he wasn't looking backward, and he wasn't even holding a radar gun. On top of that, he couldn't have paced me he didn't have time to get up to 74 or 82. Heather's mom said she would work on it and see what she could do to get me out of it. And I also called Whitney Patton b/c her dad is a cop- she said that if it was a city ticket he could get me out of it, so hopefully he can. But if they can't, then I"m going to court to contest it b/c that's bs!!
I also had to take my car to the shop yesterday b/c the brakes were making really weird noises. It turns out that the calipers weren't releasing b/c there was something wrong with the hose. So they had to replace the hose, brake pads, and rotors. Then my radiator was cracked, so they had to replace it. THEN, they realized that my tires were so bald that metal was coming out, so I had to get new tires. AND THEN, they realized that the reason my tires were so worn out is because the previous owner lowered the car the cheap way- instead of getting a kit, they heated the coils to drop the car, which threw the alignment off, and they had put all this stuff on there to try and fix it. So my tires have negative camber (the tires tilt inward at the top). So I'm gonna have to get new coils and struts to fix it. Without that last part added on, it was about $1000 to fix, and it'll be about another $1000 to put the coils and struts on! My mom is so pissed at the guy we bought it from b/c the shop said that I'm really lucky we brought it in b/c I could've had a blowout at any moment!! Anyway, I'm really blessed that the brake thing happened and caused me to take it to the shop when I did, and that nothing happened to me before then. Yay! So I'm happy about that! (not the money though.
)
So anyway, I'm gonna try and find something to do, I'll probably unpack all my junk from the dorm.
