my first run-in with the law

Well tonight i had my first run-in with the law. Yes, i got my first ticket.... heres the story. So Alicia Britch and i were on our way home from the store getting icecream for the fam. I was on this very unfamiliar abandoned country road with no idea what the speed limit is. All of the sudden i see a sheriff and slow but i didn't know what the speed limit was so i didn't know if i was speeding. so i continued onward cautiously. I kept checking my mirror and saw nothing so i thought that i was fine. the next thing i knew, i almost missed the turn so i had to slam on my brakes and make a sharp turn. Just when i was pulling up to the house, i noticed that there was another car behind me, then the lights went on. so i immediately got out my license and registration and waited for the copper to come. When he came up he was like "do you know why i pulled you over?" and i was like "I am pretty sure that i was speeding", he said" do you know how fast you were going?" me, "i have no idea", officer " you were going 54 in a 40." me, "ok" officer, " do you know what that means?" me "nope." officer" i will need to take you off to jail" and then he smiled, laughed and then asked me for my license and registration.
the officer took his own sweet time doing whatever they do. the next thing i knew julie britch was running down the driveway with a flashlight. when she got to my window, the intercom from the truck said "mam please step away from the vehicle...... just kidding" Then julie went and talked with the officer. when julie was finished she walked over and told me that the officer was only going to write me for 5 over. so i was like ok sweet. we were waiting for a long time so alicia and i decided to play the question game. we played like 5 rounds when i heard the intercom say "jordan, will you please come to my car?", so i got out and went to his window. when i got there he said, "did she tell you that i was only going to write you up for 5 over?" me "yes" officer "D#@m it, my printer will not work!". then the officers phone buzzed because he got a text. he texted back and told me "never get married" i am pretty sure i had no idea what to say back. he then asked me why my license plate read lana so i told him. the whole time he was making wise cracks and what not. by this point his printer is still not working so i was starting to think a may not end up getting a ticket. The the officer said that he was going to have to write one by hand and started to jokingly complane about it. then he said, "usually if this happened the person would try to get out of a ticket" in my head i was thinking " DON'T DO IT IF IT IS REALLY THAT TERRIBLE TO WRITE ONE BY HAND, AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR ME BY TRYING TO TALK YOU OUT OF GIVING ME A TICKET!!!" he then wrote one out by hand complaining about it the whole time. I was so angry! i was like don't make wise cracks and be all nice about everything and still write me a ticket! He was such an unprofessional jerk! sure he was nice about it, but he should not have been all happy and joking with my and still given me a ticket!
yeah so that was my night!

Update

I have a ridiculous story to share. So today in math my teacher (the french lady) handed back most of the assignments that we handed in. Our first assignment was to write a 2-3 page paper answering some questions about our previous math classes. One of these topics was on calculator use. In my class right now, my teacher has a strict no calculator use policy. In my paper I politely, yet strongly disagreed with this policy. I told her that I understood that it was good to learn to do it by hand, but that it also would be good to learn how to do the problems with a calculator because that is what we would use in the "real world". She apparently took offense to this and wrote a good 3/4 page on the back of my paper explaining the reasoning for her policy. I was like, ok whatever until I saw my grade. Everyone else in the class got a 10 on it and I got a 9 and a freakin half! I was like are you serious?! You really are going to dock me because I disagree with your calculator policy! I of course did not say any of that to her face because we don't really see eye to eye. She is the first teacher that I have had an actual problem with. But oh well!

Today I also was invited to have dinner with the Britches. This was a welcome change because I have the most boring roommates ever! So I went over there and we had an amazing dutch oven meal. I then went home to finish an art paper, but immediately remembered that the office was on at 8 so I had to watch it! After that the Britch girls and maddie came over to see my apt. and play some games. The most memorable was "Getting measured for your coffin" in this game you are blind folded and told to lay on the ground and get measure. They measure everything and then when they measure your second leg, they pore water down your pants!!! it was way funny!

Let the world know, Jordan Giles sold his first two things on e-bay!

Relief!!

I have been really stressed lately. I have about a billion things to do with my calling, most involving setting up home teaching, I had a test in History that was all free response and essay questions, and then to top everything off, I am still unemployed and have no money haha! 2 of my things were solved today, the first was that I made all of my home teaching assignments, and got everything set up with that! The second was that I just took that History test today and knew everything on it. That was such a huge relief because I was so nervous about it. It was really my first college level test and I am a history buff so I am not worried at all about what my grade will be. So the only thing left is the job thing. I am pretty sure that I have an application on file with every department at SUU so if there is ever any kind of opening I will know about it haha. So yeah, good thing I had some savings or I may have become a hobo, or actually starved to death because my housing is already payed for haha. Well I hope everything is well with everyone!
