To drop or not to drop...

...that is the question. First, I was very torn between whether to drop Avionics or Aeroelasticity. Avionics turned out to be a pain in the butt for an elective (thank you Dr. Johnson), but on the other hand, I have had zero time to spend on Aeroelasticity, so although it doesn't seem to be too hard, I am still getting poor grades (lack of time bad grades.) After much debating I decided to just suck it up and stick with aeroelasticity...

...until tonight. Tuesday is our senior design Midterm Briefing. My plan was to have the aero homework done by now, but I've been very sick since last Thursday, so I was basically useless. Now not only do I not have the homework done, but I am also behind on my senior design stuff.

I hesitate to drop Aeroelasticity for two reasons. The first is that I will only have 9 hours this semester (... is that a bad thing?) and the second is that I *might* end up not graduating until the Spring of 2006. I have talked a lot to my parents about this, and brought up both the "I'm so old" and "I have no money" arguments against it. My Mom asked me what the big hurry was and reminded me that in the grand scheme of things, it's not that much money. I love that I have super supportive parents that come from a different culture where people aren't always trying to hurry through life and don't worry so much about things.

I would really, really hate for my other grades to suffer because of this one (and in my opinion, stupid and utterly useless) class.

Anyway, so basically I have pretty much decided to drop another class... but I guess I am still having doubts. Opinions, anyone?
