« maine or bust | Main | freaking out »

on again on again

So, I'm going to Maine.

I talked to my TA, and he's very nice about the whole thing. I explained I had this trip planned months ago with my family, and that I hated to miss even one day of class, but I might miss two. Would it be ok if I turned in the paper(s) early? He said "sure," and even said he'd be willing to go over the material if I was willing to come to office hours.

Turns out he's not such a hard-ass. He's just fair. A refreshing attribute for a TA at this university. I've complained before about the treatment of non-traditional students here, and there are several of us in this class, as well as the TA himself, so, finally, someone who isn't a dick to his students with jobs and/or families. And, an added bonus, he knows how to teach. I would seriously recommend him if you ever have to take history here at Cowtown State.

Now, I just have to see if I can find a cheap rental car once I get there. Right now, I've found 4 places with cars (all major chains of rental places), but prices per day of $40-$80 for the lowest economy models! $80/day + gasoline? Are you f*cking kidding me? Seriously. I'm gonna be stuck with my parents for 4 days. 2 in a car, and 2 at their mercy on where to eat/when to leave, etc. I'm doing this why?
