Got stopped by the cops

Ok, so I've been commuting from Columbus, OH to Athens, OH on Tuesdays and Thursdays for class at Ohio University. I usually leave around 7:45am to just barely arrive at my 9:10am class. But today would be different.
I'm about half way to my destination and I see sirens behind me. D**n it!! OK, so another speeding ticket with a fine, right. The officer or state trooper or whatever you want to call him takes my license and registration. I'm tapping my fingers hoping he only makes me 15 minutes late for class. But he comes back and says "Ma 'am, your license is suspended. I can't let you drive this vehicle." And I'm thinking 'Just great.' Or more like 'S--t'!! The story is I basically had a ticket from back in July which I paid for I might add. But I paid the ticket late which means I had a reinstatement fee of $15. Yes, I got pulled over, taken to court, car taken away for FREAKIN' $15.

OK so...
I have just recently been contacted by Ohio University in Athens. I was accepted to their grad school program for Public Broadcasting. Initially of course, I was so excited. Damn near ecstatic. But then reality set in. I live in Columbus. I just bought a house a year ago. And just a month ago -- a puppy. I have what most would consider a good job. It's stable and I make good money. But it's just not me. It doesn't bring out the best in me or utilize my skills and talents. Who wouldn't want to go to work being the best they can be. I feel most jobs want to put you in a small box. And sure, you can conform. Most do. But does it bring out the best in who you are? Think about it?? If everyone on this earth --- ok, we'll just focus in America. If everyone in our country got up every morning and performed in what they're passionate about--. Man, you couldn't touch us. And people would be so much happier.
