I just entered Physician Assistant school, one of the most intense, volume master programs.... My sister has a wedding in two weeks... I just started school, they want me to fly home friday for my sisters wedding and catch a plane back saturday night... I don't want to come home, I feel I need to study for class, I have exams that upcoming week on Monday and Tuesday in Anatomy and Physiology... Are two most intense class this semesters....... Am I wrong for not coming home? Im at the point were I'm about to cuss my parents out because they dont understand what kind of program I am in, and exactly how hard it is.

i dont think that anybody can judgde this as wrong or right.. its a personal decision i guess. i understand both you and your parents though, your sister getting married is kind of a big deal at least in my family it would be but school is important also. i think you have to make this decision yourself..Originally Posted by r3pnIt

OP, just explain to the them the level of commitment you signed up for, and that you apologize that they were unaware of this commitment prior to your involvement. Then, after explaining yourself, gain agreement with them that you have the best intentions for both parties, you love your sister, and wish her the best of luck.

your parents are right, that is if your sister is the one getting married.
Not trying to bust your balls, but PA school is not that intense, especially in the first class. You just started, don't get yourself worked up over it. It's not even a full 2 day commitment.2 more years until official Misc doctor status

no offense bud, but it's not. I've seen the material. The PA's and med students take 1 class together at my school. The meds consider it a blowoff class, easy stuff. PA's say it's the hardest class they've taken yet.Originally Posted by r3pnIt

OP, go to your sister's wedding you dumbass. First of all, PA school isn't that rough, second and most importantly this is probably the moment your sister has dreamed about since she was a small child, if you have any relationship with her whatsoever it's a huge insult not to go.

Honestly, I think it's a personal decision. So can't really say.
I'd probably go to my sister's wedding though while at the same time trying to study with the books in my hand
with whatever alone time I managed to get. lol!

I guess it depends on your relationship with your sister and your family. I wouldn't dream of missing my sisters wedding no matter what. But, then again I love my family and am not a selfish dickwad.
I hope you don't expect your parents or sister to fly down for anything you are doing ... like possibly graduating from school. keep that in mind as well.You will be missed Hector_Blunts

If I were you I'd go. You could read/study on the plane and at least go to the church ceremony and the party afterwards for at least an hour. Then you could go back home and study and study some more on the plane ride back. If you don't go your sister is going to rub it in your face forever and make you feel like a selfish dick. And while you are completely justified in wanting to stay home and study the fact of the matter is you probably aren't going to study ALL day. Make the effort to be there even if it means you are studying during the party.
Family means being there for each other even when its inconvenient and the sacrifices made for each other should be left unsaid. Go to your sister's wedding and study your ass off all through the night and the following Sunday.
To me the question is more of your choice to avoid the issue rather than work through it. I honestly believe you can do both things, even if they are completely inconvenient and adds stress to your life. I suppose money would be a legitimate reason not to go, but that doesn't seem to be an issue. You can do both things, but you have to be willing to commit to the sacrifices.Last edited by Scrizzle; 06-09-2010 at 11:09 AM.

OP, this dude is CLEARLY trollin'.Originally Posted by crunchymilk
Doesn't matter if his sister is getting married or not, people have OTHER obligations to uphold, so if he can't do it on that day, he can't. Simple as that.
Doesn't make him any less of a brother or son, it makes him BUSY ON THAT DAY is all.
OP, I wouldn't go. Stay home, study, get ready for these classes and send your wishes to your sister and future brother in law."ERMUHGAWD Crew"

OP you are a fail of a brother if you cannot make it to your sisters wedding.When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

Look at it from an outsider's point of view. You're choosing between studying MORE for some exams, which are only the first of many, or between your sister's wedding, an event that only happens ONCE. Basically, you want to chose a slight advantage for you before your family. Don't be a tool, study during the flight.Originally Posted by r3pnIt

This **** rages me. The misc needs to man the **** up. I'm sick of pussy threads like this asking stupid **** any man should be able to decide on his own. This is no better than the *******s asking what to text a bish back or how to ask them out on a date. What the **** happened to this section.

Simple to answer. If your parents are paying for your education, you go home. If you're paying for it all by yourself, you do what you want to do. It's your future, not theirs.
