Today's Anxiety Alert

Even though I'm working these incredibly long days in this incredibly hot place in this incredibly rewarding job, it's not the teaching that is making me nervous today.

It's that damned speeding ticket again. I just can't shake it off.

So my court date is next Wednesday, and Mr. Teacher-Cop told me I don't have to go if I take the magic traffic school. But I have to take traffic school by THIS Wednesday, and I just registered today, and I have two lesson plans due Monday night and busy days every day this week.

I'm taking it online, but that means I have to answer 80% of the questions about MY OWN IDENTITY correctly, and I'm worried about failing those because I have moved around so much recently, like what if they ask me what my address is and I put the wrong one because I've had literally 11 addresses since college began and I can never remember any of them.

So this means I may have to find a 24-hour notary to take my test in front of, because I really need to take care of this ASAP, because if I don't a warrant will be issued for my arrest and that's not cool. I can just imagine Mr. Teacher-Cop storming into my classroom J4 at Agua Fria and arresting me in front of my kids.

I'm loving this teacher thing; it's this being-an-adult thing that scares me.

peace and love from the grand canyon state,

  2. If you get arrested/fined because you can't answer questions about your own address right, I may never stop laughing. On another note, sounds like you're doing incredibly well! I hope everything continues going this fantastically and you get some sleep on occasion. Good luck with your traffic ticket!
