my junior year of high school I probably skipped 30 and got ok grades. Then last year my senior year I didn't have to skip any because I only had class 2 days a week.

I think i only skipped like 3 classes, but i didn't have any class mon/wed/fri, so that helped. If i was in high school on the other hand, i would have skiped like 50 days. Luckily, im not.

every time i've skipped school, something goes wrong. for example our car gets towed away by the cops and we're stranded on some back road. something like this always happens and yet i keep doing it

I did not skip school once last year.  I skied both days each weekend from Thanksgiving to April 19th.  Oh course I got a fair amount of extra skiing in over the breaks too.  I might skip a few days this year for powder, but I will probably skip a fair amount my junior year.  Skiing is much more ideal in college, haha.

I skipped probably 5 last year to ski, but 4 of those were during a week with a snowday and exam days that didn't count for me.

True, but once you get into more advanced classes, you realize that fewer sections are offered. My marketing class in the "Spring" semester of 2010 (so, January - June) is only offered on Tues. and Thurs. in the middle of the day, so that sucks.

I'm in an athlete program at my school for skiing, so everyday of school that I miss to go skiing does not count towards skipped days, or days abesnt on my report card.

And I miss A LOT of days.

It's awesome.
