Suckage

well, some days suck harder than others and today is a major sucking day. So, I woke up a bit earlier today so I could leave the house earlier in order to make it to a training I had at work today. I wanted to get there a little bit early, you know me, early everywhere I go. Anyway, I was way ahead of schedule (but i was still speeding) and as I was driving west on I-30, I get flagged by a cop who was standing on the side of the road with his ray gun out. I thought about trying to speed away from him for a second, but then I thought better of the idea. Anyway, he stopped me and gave me a ticket for 77 in a 60. this is my second ticket in a 4 month period. I just finished my 90 day defferment period for my previous ticket after finishing defensive driving. well, needless to say, I was pretty pissed off. So, I continue driving to the training and I cannot find the place. The directions I was given are horrible. Well, I finally find this place and it is right at 9:00 (the training starts at 9). anyway, I get there and it seems that she has not started yet, luckily. well, the training was from 9-4 today and it was about HIV/AIDS and STD information. It was pretty informative, but definitley not very uplifting. anyway, I have tried to raise my spirits, but it is quite hard. I find myself so easily turning to those thoughts of "my luck sucks". I know that is not the case, but it certainly feels that way sometimes. When i got that ticket this morning, I thought "out of all the damn cars out there, why did he have to stop me?" I wasnt going any faster than anyone else. anyway, that is the way things go. I still dont know what to do about the ticket. Someone told me that I should plead not guilty and show up for the court date. the officer rarley shows up and then they dismiss the ticket. My concern is what if the officer does show up? another option is to take defensive driving again because my first ticket was in dallas, this one is in fort worth. another option is to do deffered adjudication. getting the ticket dismissed sounds great since it is the cheapest option, but again, what happens if the officer shows up? well, if any of you out there have any advice, i would really appreciate some help.
