PickerelHunter Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Well, I've got a huge delema on my hands. We have a place up in Buckhorn, and this monday is the last day of fishing season up there till April. I would absoultely love to go and catch one last Pickerel before ice fishing season starts...but I've got classes that same day from 12-5. Nothing important, but it's class nonetheless. SO I really don't know what to do, because it is a 2.5 hour car ride, I'd have to wake up early to go up, I could come back with nothing, and I'm missing 4 classes....but....It's also the last fishing day till April, it's supposed to be sunny with 10 degrees, and I could come back with a beauty 6 pound pickerel and a cooler full of crappies. What should I do???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I fail to see your problem. They say that a bad day of fishing is better then a good day at work, and since you will be doing schoolwork it counts as work so the fishing should be your first choice. My 2 cents.

Guest IBC Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It all depends ... is the upcoming class going to have materials that is not in the text or available online? do you have a test/quiz/exam in the upcoming classes after? are you having trouble with the classes? My very general rule of thumb for classes is that they are skipable unless one of the previous three questions have the answer YES to them. As well do you have friends that could help you in those classes if you do miss them and the work is hard? IBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest old guy Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It seems that you have all the answers. Why ask for advice when you don't really want it. Regardless of age, learning is the most important component of ones' life. Formal education which is the case with you, at this time, is part of the whole picture. Take off the blinders- tunnel vision leads to instant gratification- you have your whole life ahead of you - you are the future - maturity means accepting responsibility and making choices. Hopefully ones which will help you grow as a mature, responsible individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 You're paying for your education, so the choice is ultimately yours. Have you skipped a lot already? Will it hurt your performance in those classes? Is it worth it?Can you negotiate with your profs to still get the work done? Lots of good things have been said here, and nobody here can make the decision for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PickerelHunter Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 It's not really that big a deal, I just wanted to get a little conversation going that's all. And I know I probably shouldn't go....but it's just so damn tempting, especially being a phys.ed major, school is quite the joke. I guess I'll make it a gametime decision. Thanks for the opinions guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steelheader Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I always re-dedicated myself to my studies at the start of every sememester, and said "This time I'm going to work hard and read all my textbooks, go to every class, and do all my assignments ahead of time!" And every semester that would last for about 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
