Dear Popa Bar Abby:
I LOVE your column! Each question that I read seems so baffling and then you answer it so wisely and so concisely that it makes me want to run home and read it to my cats, but I don’t have cats. (That is not what I wanted to ask you about).
I have exams for school coming up. I have one next week Thursday, one that I can take at any time next week and I’m choosing between Wednesday and Friday, and one that I will take two weeks after that, in early January. The problem is that I don’t know any of the material for the last test. Should I take time off studying for next week’s tests to study for that one, even though I have two more weeks afterward to study for it? Or should I rest secure in the knowledge that I can learn all the material in two weeks, which will actually be closer to a week and a half because my kids have vacation then?
