Academics vs. Beer

Being a full-time worker bee, a part-time grad student, a friendly socializer, and a doer of a hodgepodge of other things (gym goer, volunteerer, etc) I face time constraints in life.

The hodgepodge always is the first to get axed from my schedule.

Work can't really get axed, with the exception of taking a couple hours off now and then. I like making money and having a job.

So the two variables here that I value are school and socializing. Socializing generally involves alcohol. This leads to the epic, ongoing, and longstanding conflict of academics vs. beer.

I was sad today because my awesome ex-supervisor (he retired in July) set up a happy hour. I thought about going before class, because it was feasible, but in the end decided to be responsible since I had a HUGE presentation.

School won the battle tonight.

But not the war.
