Priorities, man. Priorities.

So, I've been doing the full-time job / full-time school thing. A means to an end and all that. I have two classes scheduled to begin on the 25 of this month, both 8 weeks long. Recently there has been a little glitch in my student account and it looked like I may need to withdraws from those classes depending on how a certain review went. At first I was a bit irritated by that. After all, that would tack on an extra 2 months on when I can finally be done with all this stuff. But then I kicked it around for a couple days. I thought about last Thanksgiving and how I had to be holed up in my bedroom to work on school work for hours. I then though about last Christmas and how I had to be holed up in my bedroom to work on school work for hours. All of a sudden the possibility of maybe withdrawing from those classes didn't look so bad after all. Then I started thinking about all the time I have to miss with my family as it is because I have to be, you guessed it, holed up in my bedroom to work on school work for hours. Then I made an executive decision... I'm gonna just withdraw from the two stinkin' classes! Why not? They aren't going anywhere and it would be nice to just enjoy the holidays free from deadlines and assignments and grades and worry.

I don't feel bad about it, either. Not even a little bit. Sorry, L.U., but I'm pretty sure I'm trading up on this one. I'll see ya when the holidays are over and I have put on my annual 5 - 10 pounds of holiday grooviness!
