So begins my life of crime

Nov 28, 2006 11:05

OK, just to clarify, I'm not the type of person who skips school. I'll take the punches, I'll face the consequences, I'll drag myself out of bed and go face a world that hates me because I didn't do my English homework, but today it was just too much. When I realized that I still had EC charts, an editorial assignment, and a take-home quiz to do, and a 35 page chapter to outline, and it was *midnight*, and I knew tonight was going to be even worse, and I got so stressed out that I ended up crying on the sofa, I decided it was time for drastic measures. So I fell asleep on the sofa on purpose, textbook in lap and glasses askew, so I could convince everyone that I had done so *accidentally*, and I wrote Mom a note this morning saying that I felt sickish when I woke up and I hadn't been able to get my work done and I was staying home from school whether she called me in sick or not. (She did, of course, because she's awesome like that...there's no way she didn't know I was faking.) So here I am. A delinquent in the making.

Yes, yes, I know. I brought this on myself. I do not expect pity. I do expect severe chiding. But at least now I've got some time to catch up. Which I should have done over Thanksgiving weekend, I know. But I didn't, so nyeh.

John, beloved brother, Mom must know already, but just the same, tell her and I will rise up and slay you.

cranky, school, bad besst
