I already skipped one class because of rain, and I am about to skip another.

My apartment is about a 10 minute walk to the bus, all in the rain, and then after getting off the bus its another 10 minutes, thats about 15 minutes in uncovered, 5 in covered, its not an important day, we are going over what we read, would you go?

You wuss, its called an UMBRELLA. I go to school in wisconsin, so I routinely head out in blizzard conditions in the winter months. I will save my skipping days for when I have to go to some external event, or for ripping hang overs.

If you lived where I do, you'd miss a lot of class.

Nope.

I paid for college myself, so I tended to do mental calculations as to how much that class costs if I missed it. :)

I skipped my first class when I forgot to do my homework.
Then later in the day I walked right into the instructor, that was horrible.

Lesson is if you are going to skip one, skip all.

No but I'd hate it. I hate rain, I hate going out in rain, I hate hearing it might rain.

I would never skip class for rain. Hurricane yes. massive snow storm, yes. regular old rain, no.
