gala_applesFUCK YEAH! \m/ i can go to terminus!!!!
i know what those of you who are reading this are saying. you've been signed up for terminus since the tickets first came out, of course you're going to terminus. well, maybe not. that was what part of the last post was about. something bad happened, and everything was in question. kaci is saying WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, WHAT HAPPENED.
well, last tuesday, my first day of a 4 day grand forks vacation, i got arrested. i was taken to jail because i was canadian, and thusly a flight risk. i was told i could face jail for up to 30 days, and up to 5000 dollar fine. needless to say, i was freaking the fuck out. there were 5 major worries:
1) my dad wouldn't come to bail me out. i'm a criminal, and he used to be a cop. i could see him refusing on grounds that i wasn't his daughter anymore. solved when he did in fact show up.
2) i would have to go to jail for 30 days with a 5k fine. somewhat solved when i wrote an email to my best friends telling them what to do in case of my shanking and death. solved completely when 2 days later i went to court and had a suspended sentence and 300 dollar fine.
3) my friends would react badly. ie: vince saying i told you so. solved when i told him and he said that people way over reacted, and he'd done the same thing in the past, he just didn't face what i faced. vince told jason, who i think is okay, but i haven't talked to him since i've been back.
4) BIG PROBLEM #1. i might not be let back into usa, seeing as i'm a criminal. ie: can't greyhound to chicago, if i can't leave canada. about 5 hundred phonecalls later, found out it 'probably' won't be a problem. worst case sceneario, i travel out to the border and get kicked off the bus, and have to wait 2 hours stranded at the border for my dad to pick me up.
5) BIG PROBLEM #2. my career involves criminal checks. thusly, i can no longer be an ece, which i've been studying for the last two years, and oriented my entire high school time towards. not solved. get a job at mcdonalds for the next 50 years of my life? looking likely.
