School and Car Drama

Well this past week has been very fun. I have enjoyed all of my classes and am enjoying all of the classes that are in my schedule just for me. I love my water aerobics class, my World dance class is amazing and fun because everyone is learning and when we mess up you laugh and keep moving. My world religions class is absolutely facinating. I am learning so much about worship and finding christ in all religions. My nursing classes are my leas favorite classes of them all, which is sad seeing as this is my last semester in the nursing program.
So life here in Rexburg has been interesting with the whole no parking on the street thing. Where we usually park in the winter was full, so Alesa and the manager of what used to be Pine View(its now called the cedars) arranged to allow us to park over there. So I had been parked there for a few days, and called Alesa and said, hey do we need to pay to park here, do we need to get a thing to stick in the window or something, and she never called me back, and I lost track of time. So I came home today and was talking to my other roomie who also has a car, who said when she went to get in her car to go to work she had been booted. Of course she was quite livid. So she managed to talk the guy down to 20 to take the boot off, and she drove her car out of that lot and parked on the street. SO when Alesa came home we went and talked to her. She called the manager over there and we both went to get stickers to park over there. And I discovered that I too had been booted, so I called, and they headed over and I got the boot off for only 20, but being the vindictive person I can be I decided that I am going to park my car backwards with the tail end in the snowbank so the boot people have to get out of their nice and cozy cars to check on the sticker on the back bumper on my car. Its the small victories. The Manager over there said they are required to get out and check, and if they don't see the sticker then it comes out of their pockets, since they get payed by the boot. So put a boot on a car that is legally there, guess who made a big mistake.
and there is my Car drama.

Mem I got booted in logan once before I married Sky. I had been parked there for 3 minutes and was on my way back out to leave again and there was a boot on my car. I think the guy was sitting in the lot waiting for people to park and then booting them as soon as they entered a building.. anyway I was soooooo furious that I had to pay a whopping $50 to get the boot off that I went to the bank and had them give me $50 in quarters and I broke the quarters rolls open so they were just single quarters and put them in a zip lock and gave them to the boot guy. He was so mad and said he wouldn't take it and I said... "well I already called the sherrifs office and they said you had to accept it as long as it was legal US currency" he was miffed.. I still had to pay the $50 but it made it lots less painful when I watched the dumb boot guy sitting on the pavement counting it 3 times because he kept loosing count. If you get a boot again I reccomend giving quarters!
