<p>I had an English paper due on Monday (the 18th) and a biology test that same day. When I came back on Thursday, I told my bio teacher I’ll take the test on Monday (because I would be gone again on Friday), and I told my English teacher that I didn’t do the essay. I’ll turn it in eventually, of course, but I would never have thought of being so blatant about not doing my work a few months or even weeks ago.</p>
