Thanksgiving Break

I am so upset with one of my "friends". Next week is our Thanksgiving Break and I am very excited to go home, as I live about 230 miles away from my family right now to go to school. The girl who lives in the dorm across from me lives in the city right next to where I grew up so we ususally drive home together because we are only about ten minutes apart.

Well, originally we were going to leave next Tuesday. She asked if I could skip my last class so we could leave right after her last class. Turns out I wasn't even going to have my last class so I said sure, no problem. I then told her that if she wanted, and if she could get out of her calc class on Tuesday, I could skip my Monday and Tuesday classes because I would only be missing three and we could leave Monday morning instead of Tuesday afternoon. She was happy with that and I was super excited to get one extra day with my family.The NEXT day, however, she informs me that if she can get out of her calc class she is going to leave Friday. I said that was a problem because I worked over the weekend and Monday morning, but I said I would try to rearrange my schedule for HER.

I talked to another girl I work with and we shifted schedules as well as we could and I got it so that I didn't work after 4pm on Saturday. I went to the friend who was giving me a ride and I asked her if she could wait until Saturday evening to leave. I figured it wouldn't be a huge deal because I was only asking for 24 hours while I had gone out of my way to rearrange my schedule so we could leave closer to when she wanted to. She flat out told me no, that she was leaving Friday. I asked her again if she was planning to leave Friday and she said she was for sure leaving tomorrow. I asked AGAIN if she could just wait until Saturday and she said no. She wouldn't wait. She was leaving and I was stuck waiting until Tuesday to leave when another friend drove home.

I was so hurt that she is leaving and will get a whole WEEK with her family and I get four days and a couple of hours to squeeze my family in with my work schedule. And I felt very betrayed that she didn't care that I was going out of my way to try and fit her schedule.

Needless to say, I don't really consider her a friend anymore since friends are supposed to compromise and she refused and won't even acknowledge that she is being unfair. I know it sounds petty of me, but I can only hope she has a miserable Thanksgiving.
