LSU and I don't get along. We probably never will. I'm not sure why. Well, I think I know, but it makes me sound petty. I'm jealous. Yep. To be a part of a huge university and be able to relate to my friends who went there would be cool. Alas, it's not the case. I went to a private university in Texas with less than 800 people. So I make fun of them for being from LSU and they make fun of me because I'm a Texan. But it's just good natured ribbin', nothing too serious.
Well, I got a parking ticket last September and received the bill for it Friday. $7.00. The letter says I can mail it in, pay through paws, etc. I'm a straight shooter, so I'll just hop in my car, bee-bop to campus, and pay the bill. The letter says 125 Thomas Boyd. So I get directions from a coworker who went to LSU (of course!) and was on my way. I get to campus and walk into Thomas Boyd.
Turns out Thomas Boyd is apparently 15 buildings long. And of course I end up at the wrong one. So I go through two of them, and can't find a soul to give me directions. And then, I found someone! She was a very nice older woman who said I was almost there and just go to one more building and it'll be on the right. This angel's name? Nancy A. Drew. That's right, Nancy Drew gave me directions today.
Man I loved those books when I was a little girl. Nancy Drew was great! She was smart, pretty, had lots of friends, and could solve mysteries. Her books were so much fun to read!

maybe they changed the rule, but back in the day, if you got a ticket and you weren't an lsu student and not "illegally" parked, you didn't have to pay. you just mail it in with your license information.
I got a ticket one time while I was visiting some friends at LA Tech in Ruston... and I didn't pay it. I felt like such a rebel. There MUST be a Tech Warrant out for my arrest ... or something special. But the ticket also said I didn't have to pay it .. that is was "a courtesy to our visitors".. not much of a "Welcome! We love you come back!" I would have much rather have a high five or something like that.
We had something a little bit different at Marshall. At the bottom of each ticket they gave us three choices. I made the mistake one time of picking choice two and wound up walking the plank of a pirate ship.
They don't give tickets in Texas.
