My First Experience With the Po Po

I got my driver's license in the 10th grade, and from that day on I drove everyday to school and to all the errands my mom sent me on. I consider myself to be a good diver. I've never wrecked, and I don't speed most of the time. However, one morning my 11th grade year, I was on my way to school and took the same route that always took. I cut through the Atlanta Bread Company parking lot to get to a road that leads to my high school. That morning, I had just cut through and almost reached the school, when I looked in my rearview mirror and saw blue lights flashing. I pulled over off the side of the road to let the cop pass me, but no he pulled over behind me. At that moment, I started freaking out. I hadn't done anything wrong that I could remember. I rolled down the window. The cop asked me if I knew what I had done, but I was so terrified I somehow managed to say no. He told me I was pulled over for avoiding a traffic light (aka cutting through the Atlanta Bread parking lot) to get to school. I was dumbfounded. In my head I was thinking, "Your seriously pulling me over for that?" Practically the whole school did that, but I was the one that got caught. The good thing is I didn't get a ticket for it, just a warning. The moral of the story is to NEVER cut through a parking lot!

Home Sweet Home

College life is definately a different experience! I've now been away from home for about 2 weeks, and I've never been away from home for that long. However, I am thoroughly enjoying it! I miss my family so so much, but one thing I really miss is my dog. My dog's name is CJ. He is a Chihuahua-Jack russel mix. He is a very very hyperactive dog. We brought him home from the SPCA several years ago, and he is by far the best dog we have ever had. He learns tricks so fast, and he knows if he has done wrong. He is a very smart dog! Some tricks he can do are sitting, laying, shaking hands, a special game that we play with him, and, our favorite trick, "army crawling". I'm going back home in 2 weeks, and I can't wait to see him cause I love him!!
