i havent been to class in a week and a half and now i have a meeting with the dean on monday.
why do i refuse to accept basic responsibilities?? :(
Do you have any issues getting to work on time? confuseddood;
[spoiler]stop climbing on their walls[/spoiler]
but in all seriousness...i do the same problems too, but it's not about attending- but doing the work.
:(
no. I don't have a job right now, but of all 4 jobs I've had, I've never had an issue with going. There was once a period of about 6 weeks where I was habitually 3-5 minutes late for one of my jobs and got yelled at, but other than that, I have never had any sort of issue.
college sucks
Hm, I always find it interesting that people go to work with ease but miss so much class.
But I guess with class there's a feeling that nothing is instantaneously gained (like money) and you don't get fired for not going. I actually just skipped almost a week of class but I followed the readings online and I don't feel like I missed much. Besides I only have 4 classes a week
yeah, each one is essentially non consequential but they add up. i only have 6 classes a week now since i had to withdraw from one class after missing an exam that is 30% of the grade

Terrible >.<
I guess you just have to come up with some sort of reward system for yourself that encourages you to get to class. Something positive instead of 'blugh class is going to be awful'
i'm not going to clown college until i hit 23 or 24
by then i'll probably be settled down and not be so distracted by everything
i'm starting to fall into this habit too. fuck school. >.<
One of the hardest things to do is stopping school and trying to come back to it later

why
Why do I think this or why is it so
Of the people I know who try going back to school after taking a break I think maybe <10% were successful. Why is it so hard? I don't know personally but I would hypothesize that it is because you forget much of what you already knew and you lose your study habits. It would probably be difficult to adjust to homework again for someone who has just been working and is used to home being all relaxation.
The incentive to going to class is to learn something you want to learn.
If you're not learning something you want to learn, then there's no point of even enrolling in the first place.
except to satisfy others.
wait does you college actually punish you for not going to class outside of participation points
i skipped a class for an entire semester because the only assignments were essays and nobody cared. loads of people skip classes and nobody cares. the only way you suffer is if you don't turn shit in
seriously what school do you go to
One of my professors is the department chair and it's a small class (~20) where my absence is noticed. I guess she requested that the dean meet with me?
Yeah, they don't punish you, aside from whatever participation/attendance grade the professor chooses to have.
i've had classes where 5 or so absences meant failure goonish
i have too

what if you love to learn :'(
For about the past 6 months or so my ongoing unresolved degeneracy has prevented me from doing anything meaningful and I'm not even sure if my living conditions will remain stable through the rest of this month akudood;

well also considering how much is left in the semester (like 2 months right?) as long as you make sure you're getting solid grades on all your work from here on out, you should be fine
68% is a C or something here in NY
horrible right?
i would have passed with flying colors in highschool
