[QUOTE="DIPayton, post: 4507969, member: 562448"] yeah thanks man.. I'll check on what people with similar situations have done and if it's a fair thing to do by appealing. if I was the person with the authority here; I'd let the guy with the speeding ticket go lol... that's a sucka move by the cop lol; but I wouldn't let someone with their GPA situation like mine off easy. I knew the rules, I knew I was border line and I shouldn't have messed around. agreed... just curious, who has a D average though? I didn't think I was making excuses; I was hating on myself if anything... I admitted to the mistakes being my own fault and them being stupid mistakes too.
