FallingAngel 0 #1 December 31, 2003 So, here's my dilemma, I can get plane tickets to Ixtapa for Skydive Chicago's Boogie a the end of Jan. for about $350 and it looks like I'd have free accommodation while I was there...only problem is, I'd miss the first week of my grad school classes...This probably wouldn't be a such dilemma if it wasn't during the first week of classes.

PhillyKev 0 #2 December 31, 2003 Hell, people are always changing classes the first couple weeks anyway. Screw it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #4 December 31, 2003 as a grad student, I say go and have fun... BUT: Contact ALL your professors in advance, let them know you are going to be in the class (so they don't drop you), and obtain copies of the course syllabi and do your schoolwork to stay caught up. I've had to do this before, and they all understood. Just tell them you "have to be out of town." and most won't question any further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
