as if you couldn't already tell..I am just LIVID! I forgot to leave an important event that recently happen to me! So, basically to have something to do every thursday night, I decided to get involved with FCA, okay..great right? yes! I love every minute of it, and its a great way to see/meet people! BUTTTTTT, yes...theres always a but... fca did not take place last thursday due to the Clemson game, however..the thursday before that I got a parking ticket, no big deal right? only $20 .. but only $10 if paid before due date.. so of course.. the very next day I sent off my check to the lovely clemson university parking services! So tonight I asked MANY clemson students, where I should park.. so I wouldn't receive such a lovely peice of CRAPPY paper! Thankfully, all my friends knew exactly where I should park, behind Sikes( a building at clemson) where the teachers park, because after 5, and on weekends any one can park there.. so I was thinking GREAT! I won't get a ticket, and the few extra steps and stairs won't kill me! ....LITTLE DID I KNOW....... that when leaving fca, I go back to my car and what do I see? oh just lovely, ANOTHER PARKING TICKET!? really clemson university? really?!!? UGH! I am so upset/mad/frustrated/annoyed ! They are slowly making me not want to transfer to Clemson...okay thats a little bit far fetched, but still I am highly upset with Clemson Police right now! and ITS ALL BECAUSE I AM GOING TO FCA! so, tomorrow after my class is over I am heading STRAIGHT to the parking service whatever building and appealing this junk, cause this is just simply ridic! I am so so so so so so mad! do yall want to know how much this ticket is? ill humor you and say only $10 dollars...WRONG! oh, its a whopping $96 ... (of course 50% off if i pay it before the due date) but hopefully they will make me not pay it at all... or atleast this is what im gonna hope for! :( ...well on a brighter note, thank gah i only have 3 classes tomorrow.. and im done at lunch time! and THANK GAH I am going to the clemson football game saturday. .....by the way.. did i mention how mad i am?
Oftentimes, the enemy does anything that he can to keep us from getting close to Christ. In this case, that rascal thought "Hmm... how can I make taylor forget about the encouragement that she got this evening? I'll arrange for her to get a ticket to make her angry!"
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up! You're doing the right thing =] I hope that, in the future, you're able to park for FCA and NOT get a ticket!
In Christ,
