Well, I'm a dummy!

My husband and I have been wanting to go on a vacation. We found a cruise that was perfect. I called and booked the cruise and the air plane tickets to get there.

Yeah, the cruise is in the middle of September. I didn't even THINK about school. The class I want is on Tue/Thursday. I'd have to miss three classes and a two labs for Chem. I guess I'm not taking any classes this term. Seems like it would be alot of work to make up and chem is NOT my strong point. Oh, well. I thought about it and I'd rather take the vacation than have to take the financial hit of canceling the cruise just to take one class.

There's another school I can go to that has 10 week terms and their classes start in October. Lets hope I can get into their chem class.

I had a similar problem this summer. I had booked a cruise way in advance, then found my school wasn't offering the online version of a "transition" course this summer. I had to have the course to starting NS in the fall. I e-mailed the professor, who basically said you will fail if your miss this amount of class time. So I took the class online from another school (University of Iowa). It is hard for us returning students to have the subservient student mentality when we have been living adult lives and making our own schedules. You can figure a way to make it work and still enjoy your vacation.
