I received a phone call last week telling me that as part of my internship I would be going to court on Monday morning to observe the proceedings. Although it meant getting up a little earlier than I expected, I was still pretty excited to go (especially since I've never actually seen a real court proceeding). So I got up this morning, showered, got ready, put chicken in the crock pot so that dinner could be ready when we got home tonight, and then I went and woke up Luis. We left the apartment 10 minutes before I needed to be at the law firm (where I was to meet up with the other attorneys to drive to court together). Luis opened the door to the car and then said, "Um, that is going to be a problem." Just my luck; we had a flat tire! (This explains the swerving our car was doing on our way back from Springville the other night. ) I stood there for a second trying to decide what I should do. I decided that I would just call the attorneys and tell them that I wouldn't be able to make it. Luis tried to convince me to just ask one of our neighbors for a ride, but I just couldn't bring myself to knock on one of their doors at 7:20 AM. The attorney that I spoke with was very understanding and told me that there will be other chances to go to court. After I got off the phone, Luis and I proceeded to calmly change the tire (fortunately I did have one of those little temporary spares in the trunk).
