Screwed up.. how to explain this to my parents

<p>hello there… sorry ive been absent- but ive been working on the make up work/ not been allowed on my laptop. i’m on here today because its the weekend, so my parents made an exception =]</p>

<p>firstly- id like to clear something up.
we didn’t go on the trip because we wanted to. my parents did their best to make sure i didn’t miss any school days, but we couldn’t physically fit it in the schedule. there were three reasons why we HAD to go…

  1. urgent medical reasons for my brother
  2. our company makes us take a mandatory 14 day forced repat… while spring break only lasted a week
  3. i needed to visit the colleges i was accepted to before i made a decision</p>

<p>so this was the only time we COULD go. my parents tried to get me to do the work before i left, but there is so much work during the school week anyways… that it is really to do anything extra.</p>

<p>thank you to some of the posters for your comments. taking away my computer has really helped. i’ve put my ipod away for now to. its really distracting. </p>

<p>i was really really jetlag, but now im getting over it. i have to get everything in by saturday so i better get going.</p>

<p>thanks for all the advice- bumble</p>
