meebs, sometimes we gotta do something for ourselves *now* and leave the work and study for another time...lots o' your metalhead classmates likely slack off and go to concerts, and they pass courses...so will you.
that said, give the guy a break (see what a low and roguish hypocrite am i?) so meebs got priorities...he knows what he wants to accomplish and knows he's gotta work hard to do it...that kinda work ethic is enviable (specially since i'll probably never have one :-)) and we shouldn't be giving him a hard time about it. i doubt it's easy on him knowing that Mario will be so close, and i'm sure mbo can beat up on himself without our help jus' fine.
pax,
kate (tho if i'm ever within 90 miles, you had better find a way to visit, meebs!!! )
