You should! I would be very jealous of you, but you should.

ETA: Sillypants. You live in Manhattan. Walk into one of the millions of cell phone places and get a cheap plan--it will come with a phone. You can buy a better one later. You shouldn't go home freaked out.

Oh, Trudy! That's awful. I'm so sorry!

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I still haven't decided what to do about the movie. I may e-mail the prof, though, and see what she would suggest as an alternate assignment, then decide. Also, I could always start watching it on Monday (we're watching it during two class periods), and if I have to leave, then I'll do the alternate assignment. That way at least I will have tried.

Oh, and I feel the need to ammend (is that the right word? Did I spell it right?) my previous post. The test that I didn't do as well as I would have liked to on? I got a 94. It's still an A. I'm just frustrated, because I felt like I aced it. I'm not sure what I got wrong, and that is really bothering me.

See, I tried that. But I have no idea if $35 a month with a free phone with a two year contract is good or shit. Does sprint suck? I can barely do these things WITH research

vw-- do you have the option of watching it not in class and fast-forwarding if you get skeeved? then you could participate in the discussion?

Trudy, I don't know how Sprint is...but $35 a month with a free phone and 2-year contract is a pretty standard plan.

And I don't know about that option. I should ask her. Mostly, I'm freaked out about being triggered and having flashbacks in class. That would be embarrassing on top of painful.

Trudy, you can always start with a pre-paid and see what kind of minutes you'll need. You can then sort out a decent plan that meets your needs while still having a phone.

I'm pissed at your landlord on you behalf. And it's not silly to be worried. Phones give one a sense of security--of being able to reach someone when they need it.

It makes sense to skip it vw, if having flashbacks at ALL are a bad idea, you know? Or is it ok at home with the roomies? (I honestly don't know)

I had Sprint for a long time - it was fine. I'd double check with someone in Manhattan, though, and see what they think of their coverage. I had no problems in DC but more frequent dropped calls in Chicago.

Thanks. I was feeling like a big girl.

I think I'll freak out the dog for one day and let them try and fix it tomorrow. sighhhhh Poor dog.

Alright, this joint is closing and the .20 a minute is adding up. ttyl, cuties

All the best to you, today. May the surgery be short, sweet, successful, and the recovery swift. May Emmett be the confident, curious little boy he always is, and know he is in good hands. May all of his parents, who love him so, be as relaxed as possible.

That's pretty much how it went. Though after his Mom came out of the OR (she was with him while they administered the anesthesia), she had a cry.

But yeah, thoroughly textbook and routine. Also, they didn't accidentally poke him in the brain. Which Jen told me was unlikely unless they were operating with a jackhammer.
