Alright, so last Satrday i was driving from storrow drive and was goin up a ramp to go over the bridge to reach MIT/Harvard. It is the first exit available on the left to Coppley. Anyways, I bared right and slowed down like I normally would to a stop. I always stop at stop signs but I definitely know I didn't come to a stop because for some reason, I thought it was a yield sign, so I approached it and acted as if it were a yield sign. The street I was merging onto was a one way street, so that is probably while I figured it was a yield sign. Anyways, around the corner was a statey nicely waiting, facing the opposite direction of me, and tells me to pull over. So as a result, he fined me a 100 dollars for the violation. I got a warning for a not stopping long enough at a stop sign about a month ago, but the cop did acknowledge i did stop, but because it was snowing he told me to be more careful, so it's not like I don't know how to stop at a stop sign properly. I am definitely going to go to court for the hearing of this ticket, but I am stuck between two arguments. The first is admitting that I thought it was a yield sign and the second is to argue that the cop was out of view from the crosswalk where I normally stop at a stop sign. He quoted something I never said, so I was planning to use that in court against him. So what I am wondering is will apologizing in court give me any reuslts liek lowering ticket fines/dropped points? or should I argue that he couldn't see me because I took pictures from google maps showing where I was and where he was and it is clearly evident that he could have no way seen me stop before the crosswalk. I'd rather pay the 25 dollar court fee and to try and lift any charges. Also, because this is my first ticket, do my points go up? Keep in mind that I do live in Massachusetts, so traffic school is not an option here unfortunately.

I am willing to put any amount of effort into my schoolwork this year. I really want to get into Boston University but by looking at my grades and gpa its not going to happen. I have about a 3.27 unweighted gpa. I have one honors class, but won't be weighted this year because its the school policy. The worst part is that I am in all standard classes except that one class which is spanish. Right now I am completely acing my history class, recently got a c+ in english because I am terrible at english. The other classes have b- to a b+ range. Is there any descriptive study habits I can use to help me become successful? I am willing to go through anything logical that can let me reach my goal by the end of senior year. First qurater just passed and I am a sohpmore now. If I show my teachers that I can get straight A's will I be able to move into honors next year? even though my first qurater grades weren't so good? I am serious so please don't give me a bad answer because this will change my life.

how do you do a tweener? If you know how to, please tell me the motion, when to hit, how to practice it, the steps, what grip to use( I can never figure out what grip to use), and your advice on when to use it.

How do I hit a tweeny between the legs? Could you tell me the form and when to hit the ball and when I should use it? All i can do is a backward back hand and a jumping/spinning 1 hand backhand volley. Not very useful only good at the net. Please give me some advice.
