A or B

I feel fortunate (most of the time) to have friends (both at college and at home) who are smart, funny, and accepting.  Sometimes my college friends are vulgar, but they are never rude or mean.  And every once in a while, I get a not-so-subtle reminder of why I love them.  For instance, this morning... Aeromechanics II Lab. It just sounds gross, but I was not completely dismayed because one of my best guy friends is in the class me.  We had to sign up for whether we wanted to go to lab next week or two weeks from now.  A or B. Jared and I turned to each other and mouthed, "Week A!" Then my one of my other aerospace engineering buddies asked us, "Week A?" I was psyched to think that I would have lab with both of them!  Like the overachievers most AAEs are, people rushed to sign up, including my second friend.  By the time Jared was signing up, there was only spot left for Week A.  He could have taken it.  It would have meant that he alternated his 204 and 330 labs every week... definitely a good situation. Yet he signed up for Week B so we could take it together, sacrificing a selfish happiness to make a friend happy... that is TRUE friendship.
