Decisions, squared.

Before I start, today's math class was ridiculous.  In my Intermediate Algebra class, my professor taught about the 30-60-90 and the 45-45-90 triangles and what radicals belong to them.  He just made it more complicated, and thank God I have my trig notebook lying around somewhere for those pieces of information.

But during that time, I was asking myself as to whether or not I should go to Westchester's Academic Night.  One of my solutions into making this decision was to flip a coin.  Heads, I go and vice versa.  The other one was more of a self reassuring quote, but failed to no avail.  And the third idea, was to get a facebook poll, and by popular vote, I went, and needless to say it was worth my time catching up with my people even though it was only for a couple of minutes.

I decided to do these ridiculous methods of decision making, because I'm really bad at it. Flipping a coin is a fair method of doing it, despite facts learned from statistics class that it isn't really a fifty fifty chance.  There's no bias involved in a coin flip, and I was willing to do what the coin told me to. 

On the other hand, the quote that I wrote in my notebook was "Don't let anyone become a priority if they saw you as an option".  While I believe that I will rarely, if never be a priority to my friends, I'm pretty sure that those words will hurt them because while without sounding narcissistic or egotistical, there's a speck within them that cares about me, and others as well (but they have their own specks.)

In the end, I decided to go and watch, since I went through all the trouble of getting the car for the night, and it would totally be worthless if my efforts went to waste.  I gave everyone my congratulations and a hug, and caught up with my friends, and a couple of my friends' parents and a teacher. 

It was time well spent, and as always, a lesson learned.

Always trust your instincts.
