<p>I’ve never skipped class. Well…I have taken a few “mental health” days over the years, but that’s it. How do you skip class so much and still have good enough grades to apply to Princeton?! Even if I’m sick and miss 1 day of school, I miss so much and feel so behind; I hate it!
But now that I’m a second semester senior, things may change…;)</p>
<p>Hate-Bush. Dang, j07, thats amazing. You have to appeal for credit at my school if you miss more than 9 days of a class, and you have to be excused if you miss school or you get a detention or saturday school. Unfortunatly, my parents won’t call me in ususally, and everything is made more complicated because if I want to skip school, I have to worry about giving my brother a ride.</p>
<p>Friday. You just can’t beat it, in my book (though Saturday’s close). Sunday just sucks, as does Monday.
And that quote within a quote thing was pretty sweet!</p>
<p>Do you use “wicked” in the New England way, as in “that was wicked cool”?</p>
<p>I really don’t know how I added up 59 absences. A lot of them are for swim meets, a lot of them are missing school for appointments, and a lot of them are just…being a senior. Like, if we’re eating lunch off-campus and we have to be back at school by 1:35 and it’s already 1:34 then we just decide to go swimming or something instead. I’m student-body VP though, so a lot of times if I’m late or something I can just get off on the “well I’m a student leader!” card.</p>
<p>What is the screensaver on your cell phone?</p>
<p>Do you mean wallpaper? If so, mine is a picture from Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in NYC, with me and Hilary Clinton both waving at our adoring fans. :)</p>
<p>No, but I’m taking AP/IB Bio II and AP/IB Calc BC Pass/Fail, so I basically don’t do any homework and then just study for tests since all I have to do is get a 70 to get a P on my report card and it won’t count towards my GPA. Since I’m in five other APs, I didn’t feel too guilty about that. After all…we are second-semester seniors.</p>
<p>Was it really hard for you last year when all of '06 left for college? (not CC people, but like…your friends)</p>
<p>Yeah, a little, but I still keep in contact with many of them.</p>
<p>Are you a prestige whore? Put another way, would you turn down a full ride at a great school to attend a school like Princeton, paying the full freight?</p>
<p>I’ve never really vacationed anywhere exotic. I spent a while in the rural and really poor part of Honduras building houses, though. And so…we were in the rainforest, and I guess that is fairly exotic. I saw some monkeys, at least. </p>
