I am 22 and live in North Essex, but am currently a student in London (Islington). due to the storm, I am debating whether I should go in.
Reason TO GO in
- I have an practical assessment that has been scheduled for today, that I would much rather just get out of the way
- I have a university application, that has to go in today and I would find it much easier doing it at college.
- This is the last day before half term
- I didn’t attend yesterday (see Below)
Reasons NOT TO GO in
- I had to go to hospital yesterday (thankfully, turned out not to be serious) and still not feeling great. Teacher said they would completely understand if I didn’t attend today because of this.
- I will be able to take my assessment another day.
- It’s going to be very easy for me to end up stranded, if trains are suddenly and unexpectedly completely cancelled.
- There are going to be three changes in my trains (instead of the usual two)
- Many other people will not be attending (but they literally have no transport running. AT ALL! (large catchment area)
My parents are advising me not to go in (they are always usually very strict with education attendance, so this is clearly a cause of concern for them). What would you do?
