<p>In my final year of school I had an official attendance of something like 30%. But that’s mostly just because to count as present you had to be there for registration in the morning and afternoon. And if I had no lessons in the morning or afternoon I wouldn’t turn up for registration (no point going in for 5 minutes then going home again). Or sometimes I would just not go for registration and get an extra half an hour in bed. I turned up for my actual lessons though. Mostly.</p>
<p>^ Same here</p>
<p>After lunch I have 2 classes that both give you honors credit, but what you do for the class is you intern with a professional.</p>
<p>Some people do their thing at the hospital, maybe an engineering firm.</p>
<p>But whats nice is you just get to leave school during those classes, but every week you need to turn in a log saying you did 5 hours worth of internship. (Even though you are gone form school for 10)</p>
<p>Lucky ducks. I pull a full schedule (7 classes, 5 of them AP) everyday, plus about 5 full-time extracurriculars. :)</p>
<p>^ Same.

<p>^ and what makes it more miserable is the fact that my first period teacher is a stickler about being on time and is probably itching to write me a “loss of credit” letter (15 lates = Loss of Credit). <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>15 lates!?!?! We get 3 strikes and we’re out. We call it N-ing out (N=No credit)</p>
<p>You’ve got it lenient wherever you go!</p>
<p>^ I get a detention after 3 tardies (which, at my school, is actually legit. 2 hours before school, sitting straight up, staring straight ahead, no dozing off, no speaking of any kind lol), but you have to get like 5 absences or like 10 tardies to get in any real trouble.
:/</p>
<p>Wait I misspoke earlier, 3 tardies=1 skip so essentially 9 tardies=N or 3 skips=N</p>
<p>wow, I guess my school is pretty lenient then…
15 excused absences, 15 tardies, or 3 unexcused absences only just puts you on credit review. After that, they just keep an eye on you and if you don’t miss school excessively you’ll be alright.</p>
<p>Whenever I see the title of this thread, it reminds me of The Ring:
“Seven…Dayssss…” lol</p>
<p>^ lol you said that and for some reason I thought of Lord of the Rings and Gollum… </p>
<p><em>ahem</em> so yeah, I was only absent once my entire high school career, and that was because I was going to be 20 minutes late for a first-period test and didn’t feel like dealing with it… :)</p>
<p>If by a miracle I do get in I have been thinking about how I could attend Bulldog Days and still be exempt, to do so I would have to leave on a plan at like 3 AM to get to New Haven at around 8 AM then get to campus for the first day of activites.
Gosh I LOVE flying on airplanes, not going to lying one of the many reasons I am really want to go to Yale is because I would be able to fly in a plane.</p>
<p>Two weeks from today. STILL SO LONG.</p>
<p>OMG! Two weeks! TTOOOOOOOO WEAAAAX</p>
<p>Nope in reality two weeks is nothing. I mean the wait is probably prolonged by the fact that we are on this forum, but if we had some major time commitment it would probably not seem that long.</p>
<p>Seriously. I’m helping to plan this huge event at my school that takes place on the 29th, and time - just to spite me - is flying by so I have less time to finish things that need to be done. But I’m sure the 2 days after that will be… exciting? >.></p>
<p>^ I wish I had something like that to do 
my life seems to have quited down at the worst moment lol</p>
<p>I have something to do…but i wont have anything to do from Saturday
and that prospect after reading this thread is scary :/</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wish I could switch places with you! This whole month has been tremendously hectic for me, and really I’d rather be in a position where I have nothing to do but sit around and read. -_-</p>
<p>^ Same!
