lessened probability
due to the large amount of work that this class is going to take, i am unlikely to be able to make the trip to maine during the weekend i originally scheduled (the weekend of the large reunion my aunt is hosting.)
the 16+ hour drive each way, plus needing to be in class on Thursday and Monday means very little down-time to enjoy it. especially with a paper due that monday.
however, it will give me a couple more days vacation to spread around. you know. because i have so much extra downtime at work.
*sigh* i cant even go the following weekend, when the other 2 giant reunions are, because there's a final exam the next monday. 6 papers, 4 weeks. and a final worth 40% of the total grade, and attendance is required.
