I always skipped classes this year. It's just cause it was tough. ):
I fake-sick in front of my mom or just tell her the truth that I didn't do my project. I cut classes on the day my projects are due because I don't want them to be counted as 'late' and get a 60 on them. I have a valid reason, but an invalid one on my laziness. I've skipped school twice last semester. And seven this semester (The two days were the days I got my karma - I got sick hahaha).
