I am a fucking idiot. It is amazing just how dumb I am. There are fungal cultures in highschool biology labs smarter than me. allow to elaborate on why. I had a few days off before my fall classes started, so I figured I would head up to Orlando, see a few friends, and be home in time for class on thursday. The day of my Departure I look at my bank accounts online to pay off some itunes bill. I notice there is a fee for my savings account which has no money in it. I find it odd so I look into it. It turns out that when I went to pay my tuition I accidently grabbed the wrong checkbook and the check had bounced like a motherfucker. And since I had written that check just before the payment deadline, my tuition was overdue. By some stroke of luck I hadn't been replaced for any of my classes and was able to pay over the phone. Crisis narrowly averted.
Mistake number two happened in Brevard county. I had just gotten off I-95 (which has a speed limit of 70-ish) and gotten on a different road which consequently had a speed limit of 55. I neglected to notice the change in speed and the resulting ticket was $191.50.........yeah. about two-hundred bucks for going 19mph over the limit. I hadn't realized traffic violations carried such a steep fine. That business pissed me off a bit.
Then I finally get to Orlando and meet up with my brother, cousin, and Kate, who happens to be the only friend I got to see on this visit who isnt blood related to me. We decide to go see Superbad which was funny as shit and we all had a good time, even though I had to buy my brother and cousin tickets. I drive Kate home and head back to my brother's place to spend the night. We have a few beers and go to sleep shortly after midnight. Not a wild night by any means. The next morning I get up and head out to my car to get my travel bag so I can get some fresh clothes and whatnot. Only my car isn't where I parked it. I get a bit worried but continue looking for it. I go back to the apartment and ask If anyone had moved my car or anything. they say no and I figure something must've happened. My brother uses his talent of making me stupid and tells me "they probably towed your dumb ass" and it turns out he was right. Aparently the complex is very vigilant about visitors not parking outside of visitor parking (which has less than 20 spaces which were all filled) so I wait for my brother to finish his game of "need for speed underground" and we head off to get my car back. It costs me $110 to drive it off the lot. I go back to the apartment, get cleaned up, watch two episodes of a wacky anime and then I just decide to go home before I get myself into more trouble. well with all the expenses incurred for my trip I have just enough money for gas to get home. I get home with literally 23 cents in my wallet.
Tomorrow I have to go to the college for my first classes of the fall and I'm more broke than an 80 year old whore's hip. I don't have any money for books but I doubt I'll need them until next week anyway. Food however might be more of a pressing issue. Time for bag lunch at work.
Total Expenses of Trip (including fees and penalties) : $450
Total fun had: eh

Luckily I don't have to make another trip like that until december.
