Oh Atlanta!
This week has felt like a punch in the face. Here’s the story.
Well, to start things off, I had a major paper due in my law class Monday. The Monday after spring break! Who assigns something the Monday after spring break? GA State law professors, that’s who. So I finished that and I feel relatively confident, we’ll see.
Marvelous Atlanta Parking
Skip Tuesday and pile drive right into Wednesday. Elizabeth and I decide that we would be studious and spend some extra time studying and finishing assignments at home rather than coming to campus early. We decide to drive down. Well turns out we don’t have anymore money on our GA State parking pass, so we have to pay to park at one of the non-GA State lots downtown.
We pull in to a lot right off of campus very close to where we have class, there is even a nice man there directing us to an open spot. We get out of the car and the attendant, complete with parking vest and clipboard, asks, “Cash or credit?” Elizabeth hands him $8 and we get our parking ticket. Pretty routine.
Turns out my boy the attendant is actually a scam artist and the ticket he has given us is not the right ticket for that lot. We get not one, but two boots on our car. $50 and an hour and a half later, we miss our appointment to see our new apartment, but we have the boots off. Suck.
Crackberry Indeed
I’ve heard Blackberry referred to by some as “Crackberry.” After today I find this very appropriate.
I am sitting in the library, minding my own business, even studying like a good student! It’s time for my test, so I pack up my things and leave the library. Because some idiot in south GA thought I lived on the West Coast and wanted a time share, I had to answer my phone when I first sat down. I didn’t put it back in my pocket like I thought I had.
I left my Blackberry in the library.
I arrive to class and realize this fatal mistake and sprint back across campus (dodging cars, homeless and the like) to see if mercy had been granted. It hadn’t. Now my phone goes to voicemail when it definitely should not. Someone has there new fix of the Crackberry, my Crackberry.
Now I sit here, after a hard paper and test, scammed and phoneless.
I’m ready for the weekend.
