today, i dropped my first class.

actually it was friday. but today sounds more dramatic. here are the pros and cons of dropping that weighed heavily in my mind for approx 28 seconds:

pros:
1. the class is phil 112: making sense of ourselves. i'm no shelley morgan. i'm no hippy.
2. the recitation for the class meets at 8 am on friday morning. last thursday night i stayed up entirely way too late chilling at the d's end of summer dance party. i ended up getting about 4 hours of sleep. i need at least 11. either the dance party's gotta go or the 8 am recitation. i'm a really good dancer.
3. if i miss one lecture i automatically fail. sometimes a girl's gotta skip. this girl especially.
4. being present at each lecture includes not being on facebook. one of the lamest things about me, besides the fact that i recently had a friend understand my lizzie mcquire reference, is that i love facebook. and if the class is not inspiring me, i have no choice but to resort to learning unhealthy amounts about my friends and their friends. and their friends' friends.  if caught on facebook once, i would fail the class. i cannot, with a clear conscience, promise that i won't get on facebook.
5. another requirement is that i have to submit my notes electronically at the end of each week. my notes are consistently embarrassing.
6. 10-15 people out of 200 will get an a. does it look like i am in the top 5-7.5% percent at carolina? (don't be fooled by that awesome percentile math).

cons:
1. the prof wears harry potter glasses and is bald.
2. i wish i was shelley morgan.
