The Jason Mraz Dilemna

Okay, so I'm starting school over in western PA at this school called IUP, which is 5 hours away from home. It's pretty far out. I'm not taking my car, so it's not going to be the easiest thing to get a ride to and back.

 

I recently found out that close to my hometown, and at my undergrad school, UD, there are plans to have Jason Mraz perform on September 28th, which is Tuesday. If I skip out on Monday and Tuesday classes, I could prolly swing going to the concert.

 

So herein lies the dilemna. I REALLY want to see Jason Mraz. Like, I love that guy's music. But I also realize that if I'm serious about grad school, it might not be in my best interest to miss two days of school.

 

Do you think if I notified my professors ahead of time that I was going to be back down home, and got the assignments and made sure I did them...it would make everything okay for me to miss school for a truly rewarding, one-in-lifetime cultural experience?

 

*looks at Mark Arbour and Sharon with a hopeful puppy dog face* Hey, I bet you two would think this is a great idea, right? Mark, you would totally encourage me to go, right?

You should go because it's only two days of school, you can easily make up the work esp if you ask about it ahead of time, and Jason Mraz is awesome...........or...........you shouldn't go because school's more important than a concert that's most likely not a once in a lifetime experience like you dramatically put.

 

In other words, do what you want. No one else would know your study habits, stakes, and aptitude. You're a grad student, you prolly (should) know how to balance your own work/play by now.

I think I'm missing the first few days of grad school too -- to vacation with my bf. So go see Jason Mraz. :P

Concert. Hands down. Although, I've been told that it's wise to ignore my counsel on certain things and responsibility is one of them. But hey, take it for what it's worth.

Seeing Jason Mraz isn't a once in a lifetime experience. Do the right thing and stick to school, man.

This is actually easy. See what your professors say.

 

I had a young Canadian guy who had tickets to the Olympics in his hometown (near Vancouver). He told me about it at the beginning of the semester and asked if I'd excuse him to go. It was the f**king Olympics. Of course I said OK. Not all of his professors were as cool with it. Then again, I have a thing for Canadians in general, and especially cute blond ones. biggrin.gif

 

It's not worth f**king up school for Jason Mraz. But anything worth having is worth asking for.
