Today I got the most harrowing of all my school assessments done - the oral presentation. I think I did okay, I might even have done well. I actually went over the time limit, surprisingly enough. Most of you might think, "Oh big deal, it's just an oral presentation!" but for me it IS a big deal. A lot of people hate having to give speeches or whatever, but I am literally terrified of having to stand up in front of even a small group of people. I'd rather have my nails pulled out.Well, maybe not that extreme, but I'd really consider it...

Anyway, bad news is I got a $215 fine for running a red light. Now let me explain to you how I got this fine. I drove through an amber light, and before I cleared through the thick white line on the otherside, the light turned red. So I committed the "ran a red light" offence for ONE second just because my car wasn't entirely out of the box when the light turned red. Fuck! I would have gotten demerit points too, but fortunately the car is still under my father's name. It's okay though, he's barely around, being overseas most of the time, and hardly even drives while he's here. I fucking hate the cops who hand out traffic offences. For three years I've had a clean driving record, besides the occasional parking ticket, and some stupid cop has to ruin it just because they have the cheap end of the deal and feel like they must exercise the power they DO have as often and unnecessarily as they like. And I'm stuck with this fine which I can't really afford. Again - fuck! 

So that's my news for the day. I'm really just counting down the days until James comes now. It's down to 47. In eight more days it will officially be four months since I was last with him. God, it feels like an eternity. I just want to get over all my school assessments, get my certificate and be rewarded with James. Please, just let it go smoothly for once!
