So I hit a tight spot financially here recently. (long complicated story) I had some unexpected financial setbacks come up that landed me flat broke and I am just living day to day right now as I am a server I technically get paid everyday I work. Tips at work have decreased and what I was making I am not making as easily anymore. I am going to school as well, and because of that I am limited on how much I can work.
Tonight on my way home I got a ticket for apparently not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign on a back road with literally only me as traffic at 1 am. The cop was sitting in a parking lot and because my car did not rock backwards he says it was not enough of a stop. He was very rude shining a flashlight in my face and telling me I was lying when he asked me where I was coming from and I told him work. I really wanted to ask him if he thought I wore my uniform for fun considering I wear black pants and apron and a button down white shirt with a tie. How many girls wear ties on an everyday basis that he didn't believe that I was working. The fact that the cop was not very nice aside I now have a $250 ticket that I have to find a way to pay for.
Where my big dilemma comes in is deciding if I drop the day class that I am struggling in anyways. It is not hard, just a ton of work that I barely manage to do between going to school full time as well as working almost full time. I have contemplated it because I am praying none of the cats get sick while I am getting everything back to the way it was. I am really thankful that the momma cat and kittens are sponsored by someone I know who really wanted to help out with them. The only way I am going to be able to pay this ticket and get back where I was financially if I drop this class and get a second job. At the same time dropping a class is not something to just decide to do. I am so lost on what to do anymore. I have been very upset about it lately and have broken down into tears over it. Maybe I am just over stressed and being over emotional. I am hoping someone from the outside could give me some advice on what to do.
