My freshman year doesn’t count. I’m picking this class because my friend

is taking it. I’ll just skip this class. One day won’t

make a difference I don’t need to write down that

assignment. I’ll remember it. My homework is late…I’ll just forget

about it.

Sorry, I can’t join that club, I have to study all the time.

Everyone else in class understood what the teacher just said except me, so I won’t ask him to explain it.

I don’t want to talk to the teacher about the problems I’m having with her class.

I’m having a problem at school…my friends are helping me

I really don’t need that much sleep.
