Well i mentioned yesterday that i skipped going due to bad weather - raining and lack of mood, but today i went there and here are the results: - I exchanged mail address with 2 classmates in order to get the information and classes i missed / need and also found out about what the other teachers expect apart from the written exam. - I talked with today's professor and agreed with her to bring me the other 3 seminars i missed where case studies were performed in order for me to complete them for a better grade at this particular subject. I also talked with her about the final paper and the possibility that i get enlisted with her as a guidance teacher for it and she agreed. - i already know that the English teacher tomorrow is gonna comment on my absence and lack of homework, but if the classmate i talked to today keeps his promise, i will at least have the xerox of the book in order to be able to solve the issues at hand. Overall i feel very good about today, and if i keep this up i will finish with no flunks at all. And for today's question: 1. Have you ever missed for a long period from school (high-school or college) ? What happen in your case ? If the above question does not apply to you, feel free to comment on what i have written above.

I am in grad school as well and I know how hard it is to fall behind. It is an online school and I am doing my best to keep ahead so I can have some time to prepare for my trip this Christmas. I am sorry that you have missed, but it seems like you are back on track and if you stick to your agreement I know you will do fine. Also, if you do need any help I would ask the classmates that you have exchanged emails with if they can help you. I am taking my second Master's class in Early Childhood Studies and my classmates have been so helpful. I wish you all the best.

Hey Randy. I miss helpful classmates :) it's been a while since i had any and this is becoming worse as even the new guy i talked with to send me stuff and classes material has failed to comply, and i am turning back to square 1.

It sounds as though you missed some classes but you have it all covered now! It’s amazing how much one can miss in a relatively short time! Personally I don’t recall taking extended leave when I was at school. I took three months off to go overseas when I was working and took some of the leave unpaid. Being a job, on my return I didn’t feel I missed very much at all; it’s very different when you’re studying!

Hey Paula, i did miss a few, and i had the feeling of being right good and back on track, but now being Sunday evening, and that class mate NOT sending me anything yet kind of makes me worry again.

Well, I was a good student when I was studying . . . HAHA! But I do cut classes sometimes to go to sleep! ;) But you did a good stuff on accomplishing some things that would not look like you've been out for too long! Kudos to you!
