If you are like most grad students, money is an issue. I would just cancel friday's appointment...clean/lube the chain....if still skipping put on a new chain yourself (it's easy even a klutz like me can do it)....and re-evaluate.
If on the other hand you have the spare change, go ahead and give the LBS your money on friday.
