Fuck you, airplanes.
ETA: Guh, oh wow, that was easy. It turns out that the first term of summer offers ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on my Honours Contract. NOT MY FAULT IF MY GRAD DATE IS DELAYED.
Bad place right now. A year ago my dad booked a roundtrip flight for me from Singapore to Ohio, and the thing expires on July the 10th. That pretty much means that I have to return to Singapore by July 10th, if not, the ticket is wasted. It’s non-refundable.
Turns out that the first summer term (which I intended to attend) only ends on July 18th. I wanted to push the flight schedule down, so and I called up NWA, and I just balked at the penalty. Over a thousand fucking dollars!
… I’m not sure what I should do right now. Should I forfeit the term, go back early and spend 3 months in Singapore, or just let the ticket go to waste?
The school fees for the summer term is approximately US$2425.
The air ticket’s approximately US$1818. Since I’ve used half of it, it’ll be like, $909 left.
If I go back in July, 2425+909+thousand odd dollars to rebook another flight home… Comes up to $5000, to be generous, with all the taxes and shit. If I go back in June, 0+0+0… yeah.
I’m really tempted to just go back in June and spend the full summer there. The last time I had to go back for only 3 weeks, and 3 weeks went by like a bullet. Exactly two months isn’t going to cut it out for me.
The problem is that if I forfeit this term, it might screw up my graduation date, and without getting into details, it’ll push my grad studies back a year. It also doesn’t really help that I don’t have any master schedule for the 2008-2009 year; I don’t have a damn calender to check if the courses I want are available or not for the next year.
Christ, I don’t know what to do.
