No Bali For Me

Earlier, we found this cheap return flight to Bali worth almost P5,000 (AUD150) only. But the there's a catch: I'm leaving on August 24 (Tues) and will be back on August 29(Saturday). My boyfriend has been asking me to come to Bali, ever since I was still in Australia, to meet him and celebrate his birthday together with his family. The thing is, I can't. Why?

1. I have uni.
2. If I'm going there, that will require me to skip 3 days of uni.
3. I already have 7 majors this semester, and in my course, students need to get at least 2.5(85) in their major subjects or else they will need to retake or shift.
4. I just went to Australia last month, and that made me miss 4 summer classes.
5. We spend too much money on leisure.

I mean, I want to see my boyfriend so much. I really do. It's just that I can't afford to miss 10 classes in exchange of having fun. We've already done a lot of having fun when I was in Australia. Also, I have the whole month of October off to do fun stuff with him. But going to another country in the middle of semester? That's too much. I have no idea if we're going to have quizzes or exams on the days I'm supposed to be skipping. Also, my parents do not approve of this either. They're unsure about me skipping 3 uni days, too. I don't want them to think of him as a bad influence in my studies. My parents really like and trust him a lot, and I don't want to ruin that.

After I told him my reasons, he stopped replying to my messages. He's probably upset right now, and I understand. I'm trying to explain to him the possible consequences  of missing 3 days of uni. He kept on saying earlier that I can just lie about my absences, but I can't do that. There's this person who told me that I'm not going to lose a lot in those 3 days, but you'll never really know. Those 3 days could save my (hopefully not) failing grades.

I need to give my focus more on my studies. If ever I don't get that quota grade, I will have to retake that subject/s, which will make my graduation more delay than it already is. I've made a deal with my parents that when I finished my degree, they will let me to do whatever the fuck I want with my life (that means living in Australia). I love my boyfriend so much, but sometimes we need to make sacrifices. It's not easy for me to turn down his offer but I'm doing this for the both of us.

Lach, please understand. I love you so much. I cannot afford to lose you over this Bali trip.
