I didn't go to school today. Didn't feel like it plus I don't have to take finals today either.
Skipping school...that's a nice habit to get into.  :rolleyes:

I didn't have to take finals. If I went to school today I would spend all day in the library or the cafeteria. I'd rather stay home then do nothing in school :rolleyes:

Gary, you're my hero!!! :thrilled:

EDIT: Well I used to have perfect attendance, but I had too many personal issues with my family lately which caused me to stop going to school as much as i used to

Out of 2,340 possible days, I only missed a combined total of 4 1/2.

This is probably the first year that I have not had any full day absences. I did have a few lates due to appointments and such, but most of those lates were excused ones.

Nah, close, but no cigar. :P I missed two days my Freshman year: November 18th and December 15th, 2003.

On November 18, I missed a half day due to an emergency doctor's appointment because I fell on a wet sidewalk and my elbow needed X-rayed because I thought I might have broken it. That was the only time I needed to go to the emergency room, too.

On December 15, I had a serious cold or flu, probably a flu because I remember having really bad chills, plus it was right in the peak of flu season. I also remember that was the day Winamp 5.0 was released.

I've occasionally seen them at or just around midnight, but normally I see them in the late morning or afternoon.

We never get 'em. Period. I don't think we even have an EAS system anymore.

You probably wouldn't know it if you did have one. And your not supposed to, technically. Their supposed to conduct those tests in the wee hours, when the fewest viewers are watching TV.
