Just to fan the flames....
I don't live in my parents basement, ive been living in an apartment since I was 18. I curretnly live in a dorm at a Comunity college, and if I can make it back by thursday I can catch all my finals. This is a two day event, Monday and Tuesday, I figure if I steal a car in the next hour I can get there by 6:30 PDT, Setup is at noon and we pass champaign at 5 IIRC (I didnt pay attention to details once Star Wars was mentioned, I think I dropped the phone, im not sure). Worst case is I miss the first day! Second worse case is I miss finals, I have such kick ass grades in two of my classes it wont matter, I dont even need to take the final ill still get a B if I get a 0 on it. 2/3 aint bad. Id have to quite my job a week early, but I can miss a weeks worth of paycheck.
Words of wisdom
You can retake a class anytime you want, but you can only relive a party once.
I think this works rather well in this case.
