:laugh:

Go brain
What’s the issue?
Well the brain is more intelligent than the heart, but it doesn't always make the right choice.
basically two things in my calendar have clashed and they're at the same time.
There's a v. useful online course that I have got a place for, but on the same day all my friends are going out and its all planned and everything :frown:
what do i doooo lol

it would be better in terms of covid to stay at home and the course would be very beneficial
but i wanna go out with my friends toooo (and the date cant be changed :pinch:)

also I'm gonna meet my friends for the first time in ages, and i probs wont meet them for a long time after

head is the course lol
heart is going out with my friends
extra prsom xD
Definitely go for the course. That's something you've planned for and booked, you can stay safe and you're furthering your professional development in doing so. Your friends will always be there to see again, there's not always that opportunity to study towards your course.
i canttt thats the thing :frown:
the date of the course cant be changed, there's a waiting list n everything
and my friends have been planning it for a long time and they're all coming from pretty long distances and im basically meeting them for the first time in ages :frown:

i cant believe i forgot that the course is on the same day :cry:

what's the course about? it depends on whether it's REALLY helpful or not... you need to be sociable too...
Go with the course! Your friends should be supportive of you gaining such an opportunity and you can always reschedule :smile:
Could you do both? Are they at the same time of day?

what course is it? I'm really curious...
Typically the brain is the organ that is best used for decision making.
Base your decision on whichever you would feel disappointed about not doing. Say somebody says 'ok, your friends aren't meeting up anymore' or 'sorry, the course has been cancelled'- which would you feel more disappointed about and which would you feel happier about? Decide that way I think
