So last night I had trouble getting to sleep, it was just the standard insomnia stuff that I sometimes struggle with, stuff was running through my head and keeping me awake and it was making things a little difficult because I had to get up early (for me) in the morning for classes.
I finally get to sleep sometime around 2 AM I think...
Then I get woken up at about 6 because my mother is screaming her lungs out at my father over something he was doing while making breakfast (it was something about not doing something in a particular way because it would leave marks that had to be cleaned up).
After a good 15 minutes she calms down and I eventually manage to go back to sleep. Then I have to get up at 9, but fail to get up promptly and drift off to sleep, only to wake up half an hour later thinking, "Shit, you've got school, don't go lying around here."
So I'm running a little late, and I rush through the motions of getting up, phoning my friend to make sure she wakes up, having breakfast, picking up my friend, and driving to school.
When I get out of class and head over to the car I see it parked on the over side of the road to where I left it... And I realise it's also parked partly on the sidewalk, with the front hanging out over the road and a bright yellow ticket on it. I realise I'd forgotten to put the hand brake on when I was wondering if I should straighten it out. So the car had rolled out of the parking space, and if there hadn't been a small snow bank it quite possibly would have hit another car...
As I'm taking this in a police officer drives up... At first this has me a little bit freaked, but he turns out to be the first police officer to ever actually be nice to me. He explained how a large portion of the ticket was that they didn't have my car registered, apparently despite what I was informed you do need to make sure your car is registered. Also he explained that if I went online to the appeals form I could appeal the ticket and that I probably had a good case.
