Once, in college, I skipped Computer Science 207 (intro to hardware design) for like two weeks (it met twice a week). When I finally showed up to class, everyone started putting their books under their desks. I asked the guy next to me what was up and he told me it was time for the midterm exam. I booked out the back, went around to the front and caught the instructor coming into the room. I convinced him that I couldn't take the exam because I was sick (not difficult, as I was pale and sweating).

 

Poor Jack, I have never done it as it is a bit difficult in my situation

 

Yes I have ... and am proud of it.

Right now, in fact, I'm looking longingly at the door thinking "I have IWD2 loaded on my lap-top and there is a comfy coffee shop on the way home where neither the boss nor the wife will find me...."

 

Right now, I'm looking longingly at the IWD2 packet thinking "I have IWD2 that should be on my lap-top and there is a comfy bedroom where neither the mother or the homework will find me...."

I have often wanted to skive school and I have special permission to miss one lesson a day - whether or not that counts as skiving I do not know

 

And I rather play IWD2 in a coffee-shop with my boss's wife on the top of my lap....

 

I've played hooky... Last year, when we had 4 tests that day and I hadn't studied for any of them.

 

I never played hooky...until college. Then I skipped at least one class every day. Maybe that's why I ended up dropping out?
You know what they say about good girls....

 

How hasn't played hooky? I drove up to Phoenix for a couple of days when I shoulda gone to school. My dad said have a great day and i said okay, and got in my car and drove to my friend's house in Phoenix. That was cool.

 

I haved played hookey couple of times. Some college teachers are just soo boring

 

I am with you on that one, dragonjewel. I never played hooky until college either. Until my Physics class, to be exact. That would probably explain why I had to take that class (and a few others) twice before I could graduate...

Ah well, that's what you get.

 

Umm I have done so on a few very rare occasions

 

I do remember that I skiped alot in elemrtary. That was fun. The only thing now is that when ever I miss a day in school my school has an automatied phone call to my house

 

that happened to my little brother in 4th grade due to all his fighting against the teachers...
BTW what is this hooky thing...

See Ya

 

Maybe i'm unfamiliar with the phrase ... what exactly is 'hooky'?

 

hooky = skipping school

Ah i see! Skiving! Yeah sure i have!

 

Nope. I have to be physically throwing up before my parents even think of letting me stay home.

 

physically throwing up? Wimp. I had to have a sucking chest wound.
Besides, you are not playing hooky if you have your parents permission.

 

i just tell my techers that i don`t wanna come to their class and they have stopped argue with me... dis is funny... i am in 9th grade...

See Ya
