Torn- in a dilemma! All advice appreciated

QueenBee1

My best friend is moving to Waterford on Monday to start college and he said last night we will do something on Sunday. The only thing is I was planning on doing a 3 days course in care skills (to help my nursing application next year) which is sat sun and the following sat so I'm torn with what to do will I put off the course and spend time with my friend or go ahead with the course and see my friend for an hour or two that evening? Any advice?

where's the dilemma?

You do the course, your career is much more important than someone who in 5 years time, you will be struggling to remember their name in a photograph.

this is part of being an adult you need to make compromises and decisions you dont like. It is not as though you will never see her again.

Your friend is moving to Waterford not Outer Mongolia. Go ahead, do your course and you can see your friend in the evening.

Does your friend plan on never coming home at weekends or for holidays ever again? Go do your course. You'd be utterly stupid to pass on the course for a reason as lame as this.

Do the course.

It's more important and it's not your fault that your friends move comes up at the same time.

Prioritise you.

It's now Thursday - cant she see you today or Friday? If its because it doesn't suit her - then you've no dilemma.

Agreed, do the course maybe visit your friend in Waterford when you're finished. Presuming you're in Ireland it's really not that far

Concentrate on the course. Waterford is down the road. Go see him on Saturday for an hour or two or else go and see him in Waterford in a couple of weeks. There is no dilemma here.

This is not an issue for even a second's deliberation - do the course... Your friend is moving to do the exact same thing.. You can catch up another time..

Just see him next weekend, he won't hang around college at weekends

Do the course. Most definitely don't put it off for this. As someone mentioned, it's Waterford for Christ's sake. Not the moon. You'll see them again.

You'll see him again loads he's only moving to Waterford. He'll come home on countless weekends/Holidays. He isn't moving to a foreign country. Most people when there in their first year come home most weekends when it's easy enough to get home!

thats a little harsh, but I agree on some points. Do your course on the days you have mentioned, pop over Sunday evening. Is your friend not aware of this course you are doing or did you not mention it before.

Funniest thread ever.

It's Waterford...

Definitely concentrate on your career.

are you away overnight on the course. if not why not just go out for an hour or two on the saturday night with your friend and then you will be grand to head to your course on Sunday?

I do this all the time as I often work on weekends so if friends are out I will just meet them for a little while and head on
