Skipping Class

Well, it's official. This memo has me terrified. I don't know where I'm going, or where to start. And it's due in exactly 51 hours and 45 minutes. Considering that about half of my contracts class is missing this morning, I am not the only one. I almost skipped right along with them. But I couldn't make myself do it.

Baby B made a good point this morning, "If you skip, you'll spend four and a half hours catching up." It's true, too. Class is only one hour and 40 minutes long. And in that one hour and 40 minutes, you can take eight pages of notes if things are happening quickly enough. When you skip a class, you not only have to track down the notes, you have to work through someone else's shorthand, and try to understand what happened during class. And then you'll probably have questions to ask the professor. And there goes your weekend.

Simple profit/loss statement? You've just lost a future extra 2 hours and 50 minutes for an immediate 1 hour and 40 minutes. Ask yourself if it's really worth it. If it is, then go for it. If time is a more valuable commodity in future than presently, just go to class. You'll appreciate it long-term.
