shall i or shall i not???

take latin techniques class now i mean.

2 main (and perennial) probs:

$$$.
it costs $120 at shawn and gladys, for a total of 6 lessons of 45? min each. tats $20 per lesson. means i have to fork out $80 next month, and mebbe the month after tat, if i wanna learn all 5 dances of competitive latin. but if you compare it to private lessons with shawn (the main instructor and owner of the school), its considered cheap ald.. cuz shawn's private lessons cost $80 per lesson (melvin, his student and secondary instructor charges $65 per lesson).. so, for the same amount of money, i get to enjoy 3 more lessons than if i were to be taking private. of cuz, i'd have to divide the time/attn given to me by gladys (shawn's wife/dance partner) by the number of extra couples in teh class also la. heh. but its ok..

ya.. so i think i wldnt mind forking out $120 for 6 lessons of latin technique with a few other couples.. but, now the prob is not whether i mind or not. its whether i CAN or not. right now my liquid bank account (i try to keep one other bank accoutn frozen for the purpose of saving up money) is left with about $50 bucks, when 4 weeks ago it had $400+. so, means deducting all my expenditures, i have about $50 extra to spend, which means im still short of $30 for teh latin technique. urrrgh... i need to get hold of some money... how????? is anyone charitable enough to give me $30 for 2 months?? haha.

the other main prob, is, of cuz, TIME.
thing is, i'm having school now.. i need time to do projects, tutorials, read textbooks, etc. and my school exams are immediately after the end of this season's latin technique. its my 2nd last sem, i really wanna clear all my subjects. and preferably get some As as well :P (err but its qte difficult, i have only gotten 3 As out of at least 35 modules i've taken in NTU, and its my 2nd last sem so i'd expect the difficulty to increase as well).

so, one obvious solution to this prob, is to take it during my hols. ie, take 5 lessons during the 5 week hols, and 1 last lesson in the first week of the next sem. in this way, i minimize its effects on me during term time. but there're 3 probs to this. 1. for 6 weeks, i can most probably only learn 3 dances, and the timing may not coincide with the 3 dances i prefer to learn. 2. related to teh first problem, is, if i wanna learn more htan 3 dances, i'd have to extend my attendance by 3 more weeks to the 4th week of my final sem. 3. sometimes you like somethign so much you'd want to have it as soon as possible. =P besides, glady's will be teachign jive in this season, which very nicely complements the jive routine that shawn is giving us over these few weeks.

how how how????
i cant decide... goodness. im so indecisive (but more decisive than some other pp, heh). mebbe (and if possible), i'll attend 3 weeks, then concentrate on my studies, then pick up after my exams. hmmmm i think its a good idea.. worth pondering upon.

ok i'm really slpy now. think i'll go sleep!! heh really sorry if i bored you to tears in this entry. but well (online) diaries serve to record the tots of the writer, isnt it, and currently this issue is somewhere within teh top 10 in my head. so write down loh. and yup now you noe i htink alot for every lil small issue in my life. haha. nitez everyone.
