A dilly of a pickle.
1. I really want to serve as bridesmaid. I've known the bride for half my life, after all. I'm honored she asked. She's smart enough to know what she's gotten herself into, and boy howdy, it's something. Well, she knew that when she asked me.
2. Unfortunately, no matter how I finesse the schedule, I will have to skip a day of classes. That's equivalent to missing two sessions of each class, since we have double sessions.
3. Fortunately, the wedding date is two weeks before finals, so the only real potential conflict is maybe a project deadline. Which I can bust my butt to finish early.
4. Fortunately, the two classes scheduled are economics and finance, which are more numerical. I can handle that. Discussion? Bah.
5. Unfortunately, I am the best note-taker in the class, so I wonder what will happen if I borrow someone else's notes. Fortunately, I am the best note-taker in class, so that should compensate for missing a session.
6. Fortunately, I am sure several of my classmates owe me once since I've shared my notes with them.
7. Unfortunately, most flights to Toledo require two stops. You have to pay an extra $300 for the privilege of removing one stop.
8. Unfortunately, Toledo is quite far from other cities with bigger airports, so flying to a bigger, more moderately priced city is out of the question.
9. Unfortunately, given the sheer number of stops, I am not confident the airlines will get me into town on time. This means potentially landing at 1AM, which is probably not a good idea if you're supposed to be on time to a morning service.
10. What can I do with a full day in Toledo that won't drive the bride completely mad? Homework? Never mind that ticket will cost an extra $100 plus a night of hotel.
11. Hey, maybe I can visit the famous Tony Packo's. That should kill the whole day and a tank of gas. Heartburn? Bah.

Question of the day.
I am coming down with a cold. Is it OK for me to come to the office with it, since I caught it from my co-workers in the first place?
