A: You have made a serious mistake. The Court tried to not destroy your life with some type of Diversion, but you violated it. It is very possible a large amount of the 11/29 Sentence you pled to will now be ordered served, anywhere from 30 to 90 days at least. Contact your attorney and tell him how you think you violated Probation and pay the entirety of your Court Costs and Fines prior to the 14th. That way the Court and the Probation Officer might want to give you another chance.
