    Once, in college, I skipped Computer Science 207 (intro to hardware design) for like two weeks (it met twice a week). When I finally showed up to class, everyone started putting their books under their desks. I asked the guy next to me what was up and he told me it was time for the midterm exam. I booked out the back, went around to the front and caught the instructor coming into the room. I convinced him that I couldn't take the exam because I was sick (not difficult, as I was pale and sweating).

    Yes I have ... and am proud of it.

    Right now, in fact, I'm looking longingly at the door thinking "I have IWD2 loaded on my lap-top and there is a comfy coffee shop on the way home where neither the boss nor the wife will find me...."

    Right now, I'm looking longingly at the IWD2 packet thinking "I have IWD2 that should be on my lap-top and there is a comfy bedroom where neither the mother or the homework will find me...."

    I have often wanted to skive school and I have special permission to miss one lesson a day - whether or not that counts as skiving I do not know

    I've played hooky... Last year, when we had 4 tests that day and I hadn't studied for any of them.

    I never played hooky...until college. Then I skipped at least one class every day. Maybe that's why I ended up dropping out? :confused: :eek:
    You know what they say about good girls....

    I am with you on that one, dragonjewel. I never played hooky until college either. Until my Physics class, to be exact. That would probably explain why I had to take that class (and a few others) twice before I could graduate...

    Ah well, that's what you get.

    Nope. I have to be physically throwing up before my parents even think of letting me stay home.

    physically throwing up? Wimp. I had to have a sucking chest wound. :p
    Besides, you are not playing hooky if you have your parents permission.
