To be or not to be...

...in class on the Friday before Thanksgiving break?

For us lucky students at my school, we get the whole week off for Thanksgiving break, meaning people can get out of town as soon as the last class is over on Friday, Nov. 17.

My current dilemma: whether or not to skip classes on Friday the 17th in order to be on a cheap flight back to Boston or go to classes and take a flight out on Saturday.

Why the dilemma? Last day of classes is Nov. 30, FOUR days after you get back from the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pros: flights are cheaper by almost $100 if you fly in the morning as opposed to the evening

Cons: possibility of missing some important information about the reading assignment for contracts and criminal law

Pros: getting to spend an extra day with the family you've ignored for the last six months

Cons: possibility of missing review session(s) in each of the classe of contracts and criminal law

Pros: getting an extra day to eat all Mom's delicious home cooking

Cons: possibility of missing some crucial information required for the final exams

Pros: you've never missed class before so one day isn't going to hurt

Cons: ohmygoodness I CAN'T SKIP CLASSES!!

what to do? what to do?



okay, any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.
