Life Comes At Ya Fast...

So, because I'm incredibly lazy and I don't want to sit on a bus for 30 minutes to get to my classes, or work, I've been driving and parking up on campus. Bad idea. I think I got 5 tickets last month. Didn't have the money, nor the time, to pay any of them. Last week, I had class and also had to work, so I parked on campus. When I was at work, I got a call from the parking office saying that my car had been booted from unpaid tickets. Great. They made me leave work, come down to their office, and pay $150. Sadly, I had to pay it immediately so I could get my car back and would be able to drive my busy self around to all the places I needed to be. The downfall was, I didn't have enough money in my account. What a dilemma.
This afternoon I received a lovely call from my mother. All she said was, "Have you seen your bank account lately?"
"Nope," I replied, "but I will check it. I gotta go, bye."
"Bye."
I got to work, checked my account. Come to find out, the bank changed me $377 for charging $150 to my account, which I HAD to do. And now I'm even more in the hole.
I learned my lessons:
1. Parking passes are GOOD!
2. Don't park illegally
3. If you do park illegally, make sure you pay your parking ticket so you don't get booted.
4. I need to spend my money wisely. Or not spend it at all....


Ciao.
