F&%$^$^$
Only four exams a year and my alarm clock decides not to go off today. Darnit, oh well, time to go kiss up and see if I can make it up.
Anyway, I know there is a few college kids here, how many times did you guys miss a major exam?
Or, for the high school/middle school guys, you ever skip school or class on a day you really should have gone?

Missed the general chemistry final my freshmen year. The professor knew me well enough to let me take it with the other class later in the day.
Other than that I've only missed the occasional quiz in some classes.

Haha, we would have been in the same boat. HJad a huge test this afternoon, stayed up will like 7 studying, set alarm to 11 so I could get to class by 12.
Well I guess 4 hours of sleep wasnt enough, especially when I had xball practice yesterday. I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep.
Good thing my roommate was loud when he got in after his morning class at like 11:40.
brushed the teeth, washed thef ace, threw on some deoderant and I was out the door.

I have a bad habit of waking up, turning off the alarm, then falling right back asleep imediately and end up waking up a few hours later with no recollection of turning it off. I dont think Ive ever missed an exam.. been late to one though. i think anyways..

I missed my biology final last year. My professor let me retake it with another class though. Most of my teachers in the past dont care in you take it with your class, just with A class which was the same as the one you were in.

I just set my alarm far enough so I need to get up and walk over to it. Seems to work for me, cause the walk either wakes me up or tripping on something does.

Thats what I do. My alarm is across the room so when I get up to turn it off I walk into half the **** on the floor and get pissed off.
I've missed a good amount of stuff, but if your honest the teachers usually are understanding. I've told teachers I didn't feel like coming, or I was studying, or snowboarding, and they let me take the test with no penalty.

Oh damn tell me about it, today I set my alarm to seven, school starts at 8:15 and its a 10 minute walk for me. So I procrastinate getting up until 7:20, it turns out my alarm clock is a good 30 minutes late. It sucked.
