6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other
I have my first tutorial tomorrow. It’s in the middle of Manchester.
So, I can either drive in, which will take about an hour, costing me several grey hairs (I hate Big City traffic) and hope to get on the limited free parking or pay to park at Big City prices but at least I can make my own time, leave early and set off for home right away if I need to etc.
Or I can take the train. If I go from my home town it’s 2 changes and nearly 2 hours each way as we only get trains every 2 hours out here in the wildes of no-where (sigh, cos we are just so rural here….) which makes catching connections a bit hit and miss and costs nearly £9. Or I can drive 20 minutes to another station, it’s 1 change, just under an hour and 30p cheaper (excluding the extra fuel I need to drive to the station.) Which looks a likely option but still means if I don’t stay to the end I can’t just up and go home and will be doing that sitting on freezing cold station platform thing regardless as, unless I sprint from teh building, down the road and onto the platform, I’m going to miss the first available option (it goes 14 minutes after the tutorial finishes) and need to wait about for 30 mins for the next one. I don’t do sprinting.
I only went to 2 tutes for my lsat course and still managed a pass 2. But my new tutor is very keen on tutorials even to go as far as to say taht if you can’t get child care for the day then drag child with you to the tute. Thankfully my friend is having Aprilia so I don’t need to do that this time but I’m still dithering on whether I think a 4+ hour expedition costing ££ is worth it to meet some other students and chat for a few hours or listen to the tutor chatting for a few hours whilst I dutifully record it (and never listen to it again cos I’ll forget about it!)
