It's hard.

It’s harder than the material covered in class. I have yet to actually skip a class, shocking I know seeing as we’ve been in school for a month now. However, attendance is mandatory for part of my grade in almost all of my classes. That’s an added incentive to go. And it’s not like I can see myself doing anything particularly more productive in the time I would be skipping class, besides maybe sleeping. I sometimes wonder if it’s more rude to the professor to skip all together and have them never know, or to attend class but have them see me fighting the entire time to stay awake, or doodling on my paper, or actually just sitting there and texting my friends. I remain to be the only person I’ve talked to here, though, that hasn’t skipped yet. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m paying so much freakin’ bank for the privilege to be here; I mean that’s why I’m here right? To go to class and learn? I’ve just always felt like the only thing worse than going to class is not going. And missing lessons. And not knowing what’s going on. I literally can’t afford to blow it off, as boring/ painful as it gets. So when I get my midterms back with two A’s and a B while the kid who sits in front of me and sees lecture as optional gets a 60-something percent, it is all justified. We’ll just have to wait and see if my persistence remains through the quarter. :?)

GO BUCKS!
