Before I begin this rant, I would like to say that, I don't know... of most of the posts I have read here, it's been nice, and angry, and flammable. So feel free to call me a dumbass, etc, or flame me for being one, or starting a thread like this. Last month, I got ticketed by an officer for not stopping fully at a stop sign. I guess it is wrong, well, I know it is wrong but why does it have to be me, and now? I guess I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's currentl 3:41AM that I am typing this. I cannot sleep because of stress and anxiety. I have anxiety attacks here and there. A lot of people run red lights, and run stop signs. I consider myself a safe driver, this is my first time getting a ticket and I am just fucking confused and scared and stressed. But what adds more to that is, I was going to go to Panama City, FL to see my best friend. Haven't seen her in two years so why not. But I decided to take my PreCalc class and get it over with.

This would be my third time taking it. The first time, I openly admit I fucked up. I was juggling five classes and this was just horrible. I flunked that, I should've dropped it but I was trying. 8AM PreCalc is hard. The second time I took it, the prof. was too strict. I just totally dropped that class. Now, this time, the prof. was good, he didn't teach that great but he gave me what I needed: reference sheet. I am one of those people that takes forever to memorize things. But this was a summer course, it was only three weeks. And every day was a new section. 6 chapters in 3 weeks. But right, back to the story. The first test I got a 83. It was nice to see that for once. The second, I got a 73. It was good to me because the section was very cramped and hard.

The last exam, which was basically 2 tests was 4 hours. I wrote down notes, and I studied hard for them the night before. And I had never been late to class. I don't understand. I overslept 2 hours into the exam, which gave me 2 more hours to take it. I rushed in, and took it. I did it in around an hour. I felt happy that I did it too. One week later, I got my grade back. My final grade was a D. I was so disappointed, look. I may not be the brightest person around but I sincerely thought I did really good at it to at least boost the grade up to a B-. I have paid $500 for this class and I got a D, no one to blame but myself. It's 4:30AM. I couldn't sleep tonight. Wednesday is my court, and I'm hoping, since it is my first offense, I might be able to deal with them not giving me the points on my license. My life is horrible right now. /rant.


I suppose spilling out your life on general forums = closed, either that or pessimisms. To whoever reads this, thank you, and thanks for taking your time. I'm bitching mostly because I have to spend money here and there. I guess, this is life. To live freely is to not live at all. <3

I think you need to change your study habits if you want to improve grades. Sounds like you tend to rely on last minute cramming rather than a constant rate of preview and reviewing the material, which if done correctly, eliminates the need to cram entirely.

And if you don't understand a concept, go ask the TA or the prof. They're mandated to listen to your problems with the material during their office hours.

This was a summer course, it requires cramming. The test was on a Tuesday, so I had to cram everything on Monday, Monday had reviews of the two tests. But you're right nonetheless, I need to have a better study habit. I don't have a well rounded one it seems. Last minute cramming really gives me more stuff to remember. I usually forget if I don't do that. Maybe I should write everything down and recite it to myself further.

Once upon a time, I drove at 24 mph on a street near where I live. The posted speed limit was 25 mph, however it also happened to be a school zone during that special time of day when there's 0 children within sight, but the speed limit manages to technically remain 20 mph-- you see, in the world of arbitrarily determined school zone time-limits (the real-world), it was 5 minutes before the school zone went back to being a normal 25 mph road. Based on my own rational thinking (fantasy-land), there were no kids around so it'd be dumb to follow the "20 mph when children are present" rule exactly as posted.

I saw the cop long before he pulled me over. At 24 mph, you notice most things, and I definitely noticed the cop. I looked straight at his car as I drove passed at my leisurely 24 mph pace. And of course, I was immediately pulled over. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was-- who gets pulled over for going 4mph over the speed limit? And what's so alarming about 4 mph? Apparently, the answer to those questions is quantified precisely: I get pulled over for 4 mph, and ~$200 (the legislated fine in my state for "speeding" in a school zone) is what's so alarming about it.

It was my first traffic offense but the officer "couldn't give me any slack because its a school zone." When I noticed how large the fine was and began to protest, the officer informed me that "school zone fines are flat fines, it doesn't matter if you're speeding at 21 mph or 50 mph."

"Point out a single kid on this street!" I challenged, trying to appeal to his judgement by way of implying that I hadn't broken the spirit of the law and should be issued some form of punishment that wouldn't cause me to starve that month-- like a verbal warning, maybe.

"It doesn't matter. If that yellow light is flashing, its a school zone," he retorted, making it clear that, to him, the letter of the law was more important than the spirit of the law and, it follows, my ability to eat.

After the officer had finished with me, I registered with rueful disgust that the school zone's special 20 mph speed limit was no longer in effect-- the yellow light above the speed limit sign had stopped flashing. He'd caught me on the very tail end of a technicality and so, that month, Top Ramen and I lived happily ever after.

And that's my traffic violation story. The end.

It sucks, but I guess the state needs traffic fines as a type of tax to pay for road repair and schools and other public services. And if the laws weren't enforced except when people posed an actual threat to public safety (reckless endangerment), we'd probably see a rise in state sales taxes or state lotteries.

Before I even bother to read this, which I probably won't, let me say this:

Welcome to the club.

But life's a bitch and then you die. Take it like the man you're supposed to be.
Nobody ever reads signatures of people like me, do they?

You go and fight it, you'll get no points and just a higher fee probably. Not a big deal.

Could be worse, When I was in highschool I didnt care about anything, or anyone. I ended up failing physics20 4 times before just saying fuck it, and dropping out of high school. Right now I only have my grade 11 completion, but I was able to get a job in the trades, where I now make $24.50/hr. So in the end, everything worked out fine for me, and I hope it does the same for you too

Thanks a lot, hopefully someday, I'd be as successful as you.
