Today (Saturday), instead of staying in bed and sleeping off last nights beverages, I got up at 6:30 to go to traffic school.
And it was totally worth it.
It was four hours long at a local community college with this ex-trooper who had clearly done this dozens, maybe hundreds, of times. He’d memorized all these lines and responses and horror stories and clearly had not actually thought about any of them in years. The few who were paying attention to what he said would ask questions about the inconstencies and he’d just repeat himself or make vague threats of arrest. Plus he mispronounced common words like crazy. I wanted to ask him to say “Internet” just to see how foreign it would seem, but was afraid he’d throw me out of class and I wouldn’t get credit. It really felt like middle school.
Speaking of the Internet, on my way back from class, I found the Internet Chat Room. It’s underneath the Wilson L stop if you ever need to use it.
