    Eh. As i recall it the rules at home went “if you’re well enough to play video games, then you can go to school”

    Different times.

      I remember having a throat thing and a bit of fever when I was 15, I’ve gotten better after taking some paracetamol, but my mom said I should just go to the doctor just in case.

      The doctor gave me a sick paper for like 3 hours as he thought I was faking it, so literally just the doctor’s visit, and told me “I can still make third period if I hurry”. I was mostly okay for that Friday, but it got worse after I got home and I spent the weekend in bed.

      Next week was quite light since the classroom was pretty much empty save for the people who were sat furthest away from me on Friday. Wonder why.

      Yeah I never bothered trying to fake being sick because accepted practice for being sick was “you will lay in this bed and sleep until you are better.” Been sick in bed for 36 hours? Sucks, tough shit, go back to sleep. No you can’t watch TV. No you can’t read a book.

        Well yeah. A hand-me-down nes with Mario. We were allowed to watch re-runs and vhs though. I saw a lot of “Sunset beach” and “Dr Quinn” while home from school.
