The Truant's Lament

It's been a week since my last post and I've finished jumping. I'm happy that now I won't have to do a butt load of remedial cultural studies assignments but then I remembered my truancy. According to the letter I'm not guaranteed to loose all of my credits but they (whoever they are) may look into taking action into doing so. My list of truancy violations is a page long and if you count the individual cases I have about 11 unexcused absences for Junior Year (my best school year academically as of yet) and about 15 for Senior Year (I don't even know where all of those came from). I keep forgetting o talk to Lindsay so I thought that I'd email her over the break. That didn't work out because the email address listed for her on the Graham School Website isn't valid. My only hope is that with my violations I'm on the cusp of truancy. Its not like I missed half of the year, and when I was truant I managed to get EE's in most of my classes. In addition to that a couple of the unexcused absences were during the time my mom kicked me out, I think my relocation time should be excused. I wont deny that alot of my unexcused absences were from me being lazy or following the line of reasoning "If I don't have my homework done I won't have anything to contribute to class so why show up" but some of them were that I missed the bus and I didn't have a ride to school or I overdosed on lactose the night before and was paying the price the next day or had cramps or some other legitimate reason that I didn't bother to get excused. I don't think I should be kept from graduating for these reasons. All I can do is cross my fingers.

Anyway I'll just have to shove that to the back of my brain and trudge on. I have better things to do right now besides blogging (and you probably have better things to do right now besides reading my blog) so I'll leave you here.

Until next time...
