So I've crunched numbers. Twice

bloodsong1And I'm still a little surprised at my final answer as it's, well, good.
It also explains why I can afford to get the certification.
Now I'm faced with a dilemma.
On one hand, karate. I made a promise. In front of witnesses.
On the other hand, roller derby. I've never actually BEEN in a competitive sport, I liked skating as a kid, and IDK had fun, so I would come with my own cheering squad.
On the third hand, I have been a mess of knots for YEARS and a massage more often then once a year would be a GOOD thing.
On the fourth hand, with schooling starting next month, saving up what I can NOW can serve me well LATER when I shake the dust from my shoes. The caveat to that is any child support that comes in can be routed to savings.
On the fifth hand,
...
I don't have a fifth hand.
When did I develop OPTIONS?!?

Date: 2012-04-11 12:31 am (UTC)Karate = 1 night a week for 1.5 hours, right after work. This was the schedule IDK and I were on until the September Flood, which the dojo did not escape. I'm not really interested in competing, so those events can be factored out, unless I volunteer to help out, which amounts to 1 4 hour commitment once a quarter or so on a Saturday.
Derby = 2 nights a week for 3 hours, one after work and one Sunday night, not counting bouts wherever, whenever. I would have to do more research on this.
Massage = 1 session every 1-4 weeks depending on cost, 30-60 minutes, which can be scheduled for a lunch hour or on a Saturday in a pinch.

Date: 2012-04-11 01:25 am (UTC)What are you going to school for? I think I might have missed that post since I'm not online all the time. (Working on and with computers all day means that I try to avoid them as much as possible outside of work and needing them for classes)
I'm not sure what classes you are taking, but all of my classes are 4 credits and run from 5.5 weeks to 11 weeks and I've been taking 2-3 classes at a time while working full time.
Right now, doing just the 2 classes(200 level)/8 credits for 11 weeks and I have about 6 hours of homework a week between the two classes. One of the classes has a 3 hour on campus class meeting once a week and the other class is basically self learn. This information is probably not very helpful, but I just though that I would post my own experiences about 4 credit classes and HW.
Also, on a completely random note: when I'm back in NY for the yule holiday, I plan on going through all my anime and manga and making a list of what I have. I was planning on giving the ones that I don't read or watch anymore away to interested friends. Would you be interested at seeing what I have and if any of it interests you for your collection?

Date: 2012-04-11 02:17 am (UTC)I'm going for a state certification in coding (details in a previous post) It's all online, which is all I can handle with my current job and it looks to be about a 7 month program.
As for the anime/manga OMGPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!! I have IDK hooked on InuYasha and Slayers and I'm missing chunks of Lone Wolf and Cub and Hellsing and Utena.

I'll be better about keeping in touch and will definitely let you know when I have the lists. :) I also have a mess of fansubbed anime and manga that I need to go though and make lists of, that I will get to you too.
*hugs*
