I don't want to be absent!

Last,last week Friday,January 26,2007,I was told by the doctor to go home because I had chicken pox.I was still okay because I had no fever but chicken pox is contagious and would spread immediately.There are still some of my classmates who did not yet experience to have chicken pox.For my whole life being a student I really did not like to be absent for many reasons.One is because if you would be absent you would miss a lot of lessons that were took up on that day.Then if you are at home you have nothing to do.Thank God I was only absent for three school days and did not reach even one week.I was cured immediately because I obediently followed the orders of the doctor.When I was absent I was always at home.I even could not get out of the house because there might be children that would be afflicted by the disease.All I did at home was just read books,make assignments that were left to me,listen to music and watch television.I really did not like to stay at home because it is so boring there.There is nobody to talk to,and most of the time or should I say all of the time I am alone because my sister needs to go to school in the afternoon while my mother has some things to work on and also needs to get out of the house or go somewhere else.I was just making myself busy so that I would forget about my classmates and what they were doing busily at school while I was home sitting pretty and very relaxed.Maybe others would think that being absent is nice because you could escape the school works and activities given by the teacher.But for me,being absent in class is the hardest part.When you get back to school you will need to catch up in many lessons that you had missed.You need to be given make up or special tests for all the activities and examinations that you have missed.That means that your work would be double because you even do not know the lessons yet then you would take the tests given to your classmates so you have to double time in studying or reviewing.If ever I have fever or some other sickness that can just be tolerated or is not contagious I would prefer not to be absent from class.I would take the pain and the tiredness it would give me just to be at school.like before when I was in grade three that I had measles but still went to school.All I did was were a jacket for the whole time while sitting by the table or desk and listening to the teacher while he or she was discussing.That made life easier than to be absent from class.I really hate it when I have to be absent from class!!!But I could not do anything if I really needed to go home.Be good and follow the doctor's orders was all I could do to get well real fast.If I am at home the more I would not feel well.Instead I would feel more tired and sleepy all the time and would be missing my classmates long enough before I get to see them again,also I would be missing many lessons and most especially all the fun that they are having at school.
How sad.....
