SO I had to call after 5 days but before 14 days or I could have a warrant for my arrest. I made a phone call Monday to pay my ticket-I had my Visa all ready as I dialed the phone-I found out from that conversation I had to COME IN TO THE COURT to pay the ticket. Seriously???? And if I wanted to sign up for traffic school I could do that at the same time...it will only cost $25 in addition to the $90 I got to pay them for my speeding episode.
Alyssa is away at Oakcrest and Shaylee & Sawyer are in school so I decided that I would take Jaycee and get this taken care of today. We drove to Midvale-found the court-as soon as I entered I felt really weird. There had to be 75 people in the room and Jaycee & I were the only English speaking people there. That's sort of an exaggeration because there was a translator for the cop who was instructing the heard of people how to go thru the metal detector on their way into the courtroom. I waited in line to talk to a super sweet hispanic clerk-she was really nice-she laughed with me about my ticket and the opportunity I have to attend "Drivers Awareness School" any Tuesday in the next month. Jaycee for whatever reason decided to show off her Spanish skills she learned in preschool and started to count (of course not quietly) in Spanish. The sweet clerk said, "You go girl! You know Spanish!" Jaycee said, "Ya-I learned it in preschool." Super funny. My interpretation of the whole thing is I felt out of place because I couldn't understand anything anyone was saying and couldn't talk to any of them like I am known to do when I am around strangers....Jaycee took care of it for me. She had it all under control. What a funny girl!
Can't wait to return to Midvale to learn how not to speed. It's gonna be a blast. I hope they have an translator for me because after today I am sure I am going to need one. ;)
