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.
