<p>Ahhh crap. How about that decision though?</p>
<p>"Should I go to school and perhaps risk valuable time after school at my lab working on my science fair project because I will have to sleep when I get home or sleep during the day and go to the lab in the afternoonish time and work on the project?"</p>
<p>Going to school doesn't really correlate with learning, so you shouldn't worry too much about missing a few days I'd say. I am willing to bet that I have missed more school than anyone else here, and it hasn't hurt me: I missed 93 days of school my freshman year, and I've missed around 45 thus far in my Junior year. I need to study a ton of APUS over spring break, but other than that missing so much school hasn't really hindered my ability to learn the material for my classes. Missing a couple days in a row won't kill you... it's missing several weeks in a row that is the real pain.</p>
<p>wow frito how have you missed that many day......????</p>
<p>I was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of my freshman year, and it came back at the end of my sophomore year. I'm just about done with treatment, so maybe I'll actually go to school my senior year, lol. It's funny... generally I'm the one saying I'm fine to go to school and my mom tells me that I should stay home.</p>
<p>I hope it's beaten for good, Frito. The last few years must have been very difficult- stay strong and keep us updated :).</p>
<p>Thanks, it's not something that I'd recommend to anyone, but I think that ultimately it will have been a good thing as it will open a lot of doors for me. My application essays will certainly set me apart from all the other 36's, 4.0's, etc...</p>
<p>Good luck and I hope that your cancer is finally gone. What type did you have?</p>
<p>P.S. I missed 140 days of school in 5th grade.</p>
<p>my first all nighter -- sci fair. lol!!!!!!
i was fine in school the next day, but when i got home the headache hit me. also the flu was going around and it decided to come to me the day after the all nighter --- NOT fun. :(
so if you are already a little sick, don't risk going to school 'cuz it will make you more sick and you will end up missing more days. But if you feel fine, go. :)</p>
<p>True true. Definately don't try an all-nighter if your immune system is already rundown. It will definately result in getting sick if you do.</p>
<p>I've missed one day on Lunar New Year, it wasn't so bad.</p>
<p>What's wrong with skipping a day? I do it all the time. If I have lots of tests on the same day, just skip half the day. Spend all your time studying for one and ace it. Go home, study for the other one all night, and ACE it the next day. Nothing wrong with it. You won't accomplish anything with an all-nighter.</p>
<p>Superior Child, I had osteosarcoma. It's a type of bone cancer. I have so much metal in my right femur and right humerus that I light up airport metal detectors like a Christmas tree. The individual screening sure gets annoying...</p>
<p>Nice analogy :) </p>
<p>Is the metal from supports? In all honesty, I have heard about osteosarcoma but know nothing about it so sorry about my negligence.</p>
<p>Removing an osteosarcoma requires removing a substantial portion of the bone in which it resides. The surgeon has to ensure that he/she (I've had both) gets clean margins on either side of the tumor as well, otherwise it can very easily come back. After the bone is removed (23 cm from my femur and the majority of my humerus) it's replaced with metal (chromium-cobalt alloy i believe). Implanting the metal allows the affected limb to be spared amputation. Don't worry about your ignorance... I didn't know any of this until it happened to me, heh.</p>
<p>i guess this thread has deviated from the all nighter question, but i don't understand why you're debating.</p>
<p>Why were u pulling an all-nighter? If it was to study, obviously you need to go in and take the test, if it was for a paper, i guess you could stay home.</p>
<p>I pulled an all nighter to finish my apps in time to show to my gc, going to sleep when your parents' alarm clock is going off is very depressing.</p>
