Earn or Spend?

It is currently 6:23 pm on Thursday the Eighteenth of October, Two Thousand Seven. I just walked in the door from school, and it is dark outside. This means, of course, that the time is coming when our clocks will move back an hour, and in order to get everyone flying in a day, I will have to get up earlier. I am not looking forward to that. My life has not changed much since last Friday, other than that I have drastically improved on my hover skills, my truck has a front bumper again, and I impressed some people last night by eating 3 "johnny cash" wings (which are ridiculously spicy). It wasn't so much that the wings weren't that hot to me, but rather I felt like showing off, so I managed to contain the fact that my face wanted to cry and my body wanted to sweat, and my tongue wanted to just fall off.
The highlight of my week in ground school so far was today when we saw a video of a "helicopter pioneer" who decided he didn't need a seatbelt. The problem he encountered was a result of 3 main factors: 1. he, as I previously stated, wasn't wearing a seatbelt. 2. he was a "pioneer", meaning the helicopter he was in was new technology for him, and his control of the aircraft was minimal, and 3. this particular helicopter wasn't enclosed, meaning there was no barrier between him and the main rotor above his head. The pilot took off, but as he was new to the machine, lost stability and decided to touch down. His touchdown was rough, causing him to lift collective to go back up, and then he dropped collective again, causing the machine to hit ground again. As the machine hit ground for the second time, the man was bounced out of his seat, and directly into the rotor, which shot him about 30 feet back. the best part of this story is that the man received "only minimal bruising". That is one lucky man, if you ask me. we ended up watching this video clip about 5 times, as our instructor found it quite funny.
And now, to my predicament. Should I spend money this weekend, or make money? I have the opportunity to go to the B.C. Lions Game with a whole bunch of my friends, or I could stay in Kelowna and work. It is Thursday night, and I still haven't decided, because any money would really help me right now. I appreciate any opinions on this matter, so feel free to respond.
Until next time...
