Reply #7: frankly in like situations i just ate the noodles, grades come first before an 8 week temp job [View All]

[pitohui]

and i'm afraid i've gone as long as 20 years between dental visits

i wouldn't even consider dropping the course, as another poster suggests, i would talk to the instructor and see what my options are but in a language class it's quite possible that you are expected to be present and participate (if it's a conversation class) -- if you must be present to pass, then you must be present, it's the nature of some classes and labs that there is no substitute for one's physical presence

what would you have done if you had NOT been offered this job? you would have cont'd on, eaten noodles, gotten an A in the class, and gone to the dentist in the great whenever

i suggest you continue with that plan

an 8 week temp job paying less than $9 an hour is not worth getting an F and derailing your education over

i'm not saying this lightly, i'm saying this because i've been there, at one point in college, i was actually living on campus and i don't mean in the dorm, i mean i was homeless and couch surfing the lounge and a friend's living room in the married student dorm...getting my education was more important than any temp job, besides the temp job won't pay enough to pay any serious dental bill anyway, so you'd be throwing away your grade and probably still not going to get your goal

good luck i'll be thinking of you
