I skipped school today.

Well, that is not really something new. I do not usually go to school on Fridays even though I have classes on Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The only thing different for today is the quiz that I was supposed to write in Macroeconomics. The funny thing is I was all ready for it. Well, not entirely ready, but, still, I was pretty confident about it. I even finished my outlines for the chapter the quiz was going to be based on.

See, I told you I was ready. I was just stupid enough not to take it.

I was half-asleep in the morning when I was contemplating whether I should go or not. I would sit up on my bed, then go lie down. Then sit up, then go lie down again. (Don’t look at me like that! I know most of you do the same thing every morning.)

So I abruptly decided NOT to go.

Besides, our teacher came up with this thing regarding the credits we get for the quizzes she gives us. She gives us four quizzes for the whole semester, and the best three out of those four will be the only ones credited. So, basically, we can miss one quiz as long as we write the other three (and do good on them), without worrying about a lesser grade.

But I am NOT (definitely not) promoting “school-skipping”.

Even though I seldom go to class, I can still say that I am usually ready for it. I always sometimes do advance studying, and I have all the outlines to prove it. I even do most of my assignments beforehand so that I do not have to do it at the very last minute.

So, if you do plan to skip, make sure you have tackled all the consequences for it. Make sure that you will not lose anything, or if you do, it should be at the minimum level, and be sure that you will be able make up for it.

Or better yet, JUST DO NOT DO IT.

(This post is pretty ironic. I skipped school, and here I am talking about NOT skipping school. Geez)
