playing hooky
so, i haven't gone to my cross-cultural class in over a week. i don't know why. i said i was going to go today but i didn't again. i was having this wonderful dream...actually, it was more a nightmare, but i won in the end, so.
mrs. carter was in it. weird, right? so was erica. and kouga. but not inuyasha. hmmmmm.
i decided that the dream was better than class. like i usually do.
really, it just feels like i don't NEED to go to that class. i've read all the material, i understand all of the concepts, i've gotten straight high-As throughout the semester. i always show for the group discussions, so i don't feel guity about that. meh. i just hope dehart doesn't hate me, considering she's going to be my advisor for the honors thesis.
truancy has always come naturally to me. i skipped a lot of school and class in high school, as well as middle school. in fact, i remember the first time i ever played hooky. it was for sunday school. i couldn't have been more than eight years old. it was a beautiful spring day, and i turned to my dad and asked if we could go get ice cream instead of him dropping me off at the church. he didn't hesitate to agree (he was always a truant in school too). i blame his bad example for my utter irresponsibility with attendance. what a great morning that was. i made up a whole lesson to tell my mom about because dad knew she'd be furious that i missed the class. ah, the good old days.
-new topic-
i've decided that i want to go to the university of michigan's east asian languages and cultures graduate program. or maybe the harvard one, if i can get in. but umich has classes in just shinto, so that one is looking more appealing.
nineteen days until i turn 21!
