Missed Class, need excuses etc

Voltron87 · #1 09-19-2005, 02:32 PM

So today my first class started at 1:30. I thought it started at 2:10, and it's too late to show up now. Which is a shame since this year I made a promise to myself not to skip class and really was going to stick to it. well, 2nd full week and the streak is over.

The professor said the syllabus was still changing and I want to find out what the deal is next time I show up, what should I say? Hospital visit is my best effort idea so far, maybe I thought I broke a toe, whats the play?

Kool-Aid Man jumped through your wall and offered you a tasty beverage. You obliged.

In all seriousness, what's wrong with saying you were sick? If you're apologetic, and seem sincere, it shouldn't be a problem. Is this a really small class?

you know no one else in this class? how is that possible?

Tell him you missed class because you were stoned. He'll understand.

Why would you need an excuse for class. Tell him you fu.cked up, the end.

its actually a her, and I dont think it would get me off on the best foot. I could say scheduling conflict, etc. IMO it would be the whitest of lies since I really do want to find out what happened so I can catch up.

is this your first semester in college or something?

I skip probably 40-50% of all my classes avery semester and have a 3.32 gpa.

Don't worry about it.

If you feel the need to give an excuse, tell the truth, that you mixed up the times.

I've taken mostly seminars for the past 3 semesters, and usually you can't miss these since you only have them once an week and they are usually less than 20 people.

as for your excuse, just tell the truth. I did the same thing on my first day of class this year (had 2:45 in my palm pilot, class started at 2) told the prof the truth, and he was fine with it.
