Should I skip class today?

I had an attendance of 49% total for secondary school. So, I missed more school than I went.

I sure had a lot of fun in that 51% of time though...

I think I have discovered the best thing. My professor has cancelled class this week because he is quite sick, and instead has put up the lectures he would have been doing on Youtube. I can skip and attend class at the same time! I can listen to a lecture whilst sprawled out on the couch under a blanket drinking chocolate milk. It's definitely win/win.

I actually am skipping class today though (I have the previously mentioned cancelled class, and another one that the prof just reads the powerpoint on, so I don't feel bad). I have an essay due tomorrow, a lab due tomorrow, two assignments due next week, and I won't have much time this weekend because I am doing a charity run I signed up for months ago. Plus I had an essay due yesterday that took way too long. So I feel rather justified because I am going to be working on homework for the next 3 days straight so it isn't like I am ignoring my duties as a student. I just work better this way, on my own.

If you don't think it will become a habit, take the day off. However, it becomes easier and easier the more you do it, so be careful.

Internships are things that really piss me off. My internship that I was told that I was certain to have fell through in August. So I spent all of August and half September sending stuff out, going to interviews, and by the middle of September I wasn't sure if I was going to have a internship, so I went and talked to everybody to see if I could get the class pulled. Nope I basically got told I should've known about this sooner since it was past the date of withdrawl. Luckily I found one. The problem I have the internship program is the blame is layed on the students if they can find one since my school doesn't help you find one, though they are perfectly fine with taking your money if you have to flunk out of the internship course for not having a internship. Sorry for the rant there, this whole subject just irritates me and then I'm being pressured to go to a Uni after I finish my first degree. After the experience at my current college I feel I would do better learning on my own. I'm going to a Community College since I didn't want to rack up too much debt. I got Finnacial Aid so I'm not in debt. I'm just questioning would going to Uni be worth the debt though I should maybe make a different topic than.

As soon as you start making excuses to skip class, it will start to happen more and more often. Eventually your grades might start going down and your fucked, I know many a college student who started skipping too many classes and ruined their GPA. Check yo self before you wreck yo self. Of course if this a stupid throwaway high school elective than its probably not that a big deal.

Ah, you're like me. English degrees, or any degree in the arts, are way less valuable than degrees in science or business. I imagine in science or business you flash your degree as you walk into the massive complex you'll be working like it's a badge that says "I'm suppose to be here." The man at the door nods and waves you in, he didn't get a degree, or he was an art major. He points you to your cubical where they chain your ankle to your chair for the next eight and a half hours.

Like I said before, I've had far more success in getting relevant work by trying to get to know the right people. Twitter is more valuable than a degree, sadly. And being forced to take classes you hate, that's like practically the entire system. Here's this shit you'll absolutely abhor, now do it and fucking prove that you really want to do what you're good at, and if you're lucky we might help you do that.

No, you have time for those things after school.

School is for fools!

We should have an annual Giant Bomb bunk off work/school day. That would be fucking awsome. Everyone should have to post a picture of themselves sitting on the sofa in pants/dressing gown in the middle of the afternoon.

The capitalist economies of the world would grind to a halt.

Would the world turn into the movie Doomsday?

Is waking up at 3:30 AM with a headache so bad it hurts to touch the pillow a good reason to skip class on an extremely rainy day? Cause I missed that opportunity. Still got half a day to skip...

I've not seen it, so yes, definitely.
