Rehab Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Please fuck off, Zerker. Social anxiety disorder and depression -> being too afraid in the moment to get my feet in the door when late or when I haven't completed an assignment, getting progressively worse as I miss first one day, then two, then a week of classes. I've signed up for over a dozen courses over three years (a full-time student courseload is around 4 a semester, on other peoples' suggestions I've dialed back from that initially to three to two to one), and completed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadeuscho Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I hate to admit this, but I have missed class for a great deals of different reasons. The main reason being "I didn't need to be there." Which is the type of cover for the following reasons: the class is podcasted, the professor sucks, his/her lectures are boring and I don't learn anything, lectures are posted online anyway, I already have a guaranteed good grade, there's no roll call so no reason to show up.Strangely enough, I don't ever recall missing class because I was sick. I have also missed it for work. Finishing homework/essay for another class is also a popular option.

Kriemhild Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Does university count? If so, then - I had an interview at the same time, so I took the lecturer's permission from before and skipped the class - I was part of the committee in organizing a full-day conference so I skipped a few classes on the day before that to perform my duties, again with the lecturers' permissions - I had another event that started in the middle of another class, so I took the lecturer's permission and walked out in the middle of the class. Lecturer even marked me as being "present" for that class. - I overslept and missed a freaking quiz; lecturer did not accept my excuse and never took a make-up quiz for anybody :( Edited October 17, 2013 by Lævateinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mewyeon Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Either the prof said we didn't have to come, or I had to do something super important and I knew we weren't going to do anything important in class that day. I also skipped calc lecture once because I forgot to do a short paper that was due right afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 as has been said before, sometimes I feel like I won't learn anything or the class is covering something I already know our lectures are recorded online so... there's really no reason to go a lot of the time sometimes I can't be bothered, especially if the class is at 8am on a monday morning... or 5pm on a friday I walk to uni, and if it rains, I can't be assed going once I was genuinely sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCut Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I walk to uni, and if it rains, I can't be assed going Ooooh, I forgot this one! If the weather is very bad, I won't go, as I walk as well~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Oh yeah that reminds me There was one time It snowed Like it didn't stick or anything but it was really fucking windy and cold and while I didn't personally skip that day Many did and I can't blame them one bit and I wish I did too That was sometime after Sandy I believe, I was sleeping over a friend's dorm at the time because we're out of gas on the island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingDanny Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) I try to never miss class, but sometimes it happens. -not wanting to go -fear of teacher yelling at you for not doing something assigned x_x -stomach ache -something going on in another class (guest speaker or visitor) -oversleeping -parents wouldn't let me go to school because the roads were kind of bad when it snowed even though school was still in session Edited October 17, 2013 by DancingDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 > If you have, for any reason, missed class, what were your reasons for being absent? No limit for reasons; just list as many as you can think of. This can include mundane things like sickness, studying for tests in other classes, playing hooky, etc. Kidney stone, missed a week General sickness that has a vomiting or sever diarrhea component, maybe fever if it makes me feel ridiculously bad. The professor annoys me or doesn't teach well Sleeping in (those days i wake up after missing all of my classes and realize i subconciously turned off the alarm clock and went back to bed...) I was working until 4-5 in the morning to hand in a lab report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Back when I used to go to school : -illness (happened too often to my liking) -death of relatives -various appointments, usually doctor -oversleeping Snow happens, but usually that means the whole establishment is closed for the day so I don't really miss anything. Those days are usually retaken later. Strikes also happened during my first college year, though I wasn't involved in them. Missed a few days.

No limit for reasons; just list as many as you can think of. This can include mundane things like sickness, studying for tests in other classes, playing hooky, etc. Thanks in advance. 1.I need to take a break. Going to school everyday is just too stressful. I should be enjoying my life, not ruining it. 2.I am sick. I know if I try, I will make it to school and study without problem. But really, I am just too tired to try. 3.I meet my old friend on the way to school. I havent seen him for a while so I will spend time with him instead. Classes can wait. 4.I get into an accident. Damn it, my uniform is all dirty and my hands are bleeding. No school today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
