Do I have my priorities out of order? On one hand, I can take classes this summer and receive the full benefit of my 08-09 financial aid and be a semester closer to graduation, or I can take the summer off and work and go to the national.

So far, I'm leaning towards the latter just so I can go to the national.  Embarassment

See? I didn't even realize that there might be something wrong with my prioritizing until I told Ray, "Maybe I won't take classes this summer so I can go to the national in Colorado."

He looked at me funny.  Headscratch

Seems perfectly reasonable to me.  Wink

Either that or "Why the hell did this paper go from wonderful on the first half, then degenerate into 15 different handwritings saying things like" :

"I'm Drink!"
"Badger Badger!"
"Hot buns thread RAWKS"
"Quiet you! The Denmother is talking!"
"I'm a Sexy Beast!"
"Sockpuppet- BANNED!"
"I swear *I'm* not Ignoring you.."

  What is/has been the BEST part of attending the national meets in the past?  The riding?  The meeting and getting to know other STNers?  Are there activities other than those two things that might sway you(not that there would need to be more)?  I ask because I MAY attend a future meet.  At any rate, it sounds as though you love it.

There are two keys parts for a National Meet to me: the ride to/from the Meet itself, and visiting/meeting STNers once I'm there. Riding while I'm there is usually secondary.

And yes, I love it.  Thumbsup

For me its the whole package,the ride there ,the meeting with other STNer's,the riding around the meet area as a chance to explore,and a ride home(different return route). Its just a total package IMHO
