Parking Permit

Part 1:
So today was the first day in which I was able to drive to school. It was also the first time that I had the ability to drive the new 3rd car that my family recently obtained. Driving to school for the first time felt really relaxing, feeling the wind in my hair (not really), taking my dandy ole' time not having to be rushed, and having to park in the stadium lot. If you're one of those luck suckers who's had to park in the stadium lot, you realize that it's quite a hike to the school. Now it doesn't look too far, it looks like it's just down the road, which is true; try walking it carring a backpack over your shoulder and an athletic bag on your hand in the brisk morning cold. It feels like you're walking a mile. Dodging cars as you stroll through the main lot where all the.... (how do I say this nicely) "underclassmen" have their fancy schmancy cars and cute little main lot parking passes that their mothers most likely paid for. So yea, walking to the school from the stadium lot is quite an adventure for me.

Part 2:
During lunch, I was talking to one of my friends about how today was the first time where I was able to drive to school. Knowing that it's free to park in the stadium lot, I was just like "mu ha ha, I park in the stadium lot for free" and she's like "oh, so you have the parking pass, right?" I'm like, "say-ya whaaa?". She's like, "uh, yea... you need a parking pass even to park in the stadium lot, otherwise you could get a ticket and it's a $20 fee." Alright so now I'm freaking out.... This would happen to me. I drive to school for the first time, and now I'm about to get a fricken' ticket.... wow, fml. So I ask her where to get the pass, and she tells me to go in the Attendance Office. So I make my way out to the Attendance Office where all the mean ladies work and yell at you for asking them a question. So I go into the office, and ask one of the ladies where you get the sheet to fill out to get a pass. She tells me (probably thinking I'm a dumbshit for wanting a parking pass 2 months before school gets out) that they're in the bin right in front of me. I grab one and go back to lunch. I'm kinda worried for the rest of the day thinking what's gonna happen if I get a stupid ticket.

Part 3:
After volleyball practice, I was really thinking to myself "crap..." because I knew I would get back to my car, and there'd be my first ticket sitting peacefully on the windshield. I'm walking ever so slowly, thinking about how this is such an epic fail. Once again I'm dodging cars racing out of the main lot. I get to where the tennis courts are, and a car honks and waves as they pass by. I'm alone, walking by myself to my car. Oh crap, I have work at 7, almost forgot (I'm thinking about random things during my walk). I get to the stadium lot. For some reason, that car that honked is following me around now. He drives around and pulls back and asks if I need a ride home (yea, there's no way Brian Theis drives a car, he must be walking home). I'm like, "nope I drove here, but thanks though!". He drives off. I can see my car now, it's all the way at the end. I creep closer thinking about that stupid ticket I'm about to get. Ugh, this is such a fail... this would happen. I then get to my car.... DUN DUN DUN!!!!!! I can't find the ticket. I'm like, hmmm, it's probably hidden somewhere. So I look everywhere for the ticket. Yes, I am looking for the ticket, just in case. I can't find it anywhere. Hmm, maybe I didn't get a ticket after all =). I felt so awesome! I would have been so mad if had gotten a ticket. So I get into my car and drive home. I head home, grab something to eat and head off to work.

THE END
