You're going to need a legit note from a medical professional, or an obituary with proof that the person is in your immediate family to get off. I don't see anything else working.
You put in a full semesters work (and paid $$ to do so), so why would risk failing just to go to Miami?

Tell him ur sister was abducted by aliens and taken on their flying saucer and u negotiated with for her release in Maimi and u have to go. Tell him that u plan to use ur awesome ninja skills on them (hint to him that u could kick his ass to) so he will totally let u go! Good luck!

Well I'm going for Halloween.
I had a different syllabus in the beginning of the year because I had a different professor. Then they switched professors and I got a new syllabus. By that time the trip was booked.
Mental illness, just make an appt with a psychiatrist and make something up. Something not too crazy though. Get a note.
Still doesnt matter. Halloween comes and goes every year but this midterm you can only take once. Skip the trip and eat whatever money you spent booking it and consider it lessoned learned.
passing college > miami halloween partying.

the fact that you even have to dispense this advice is further proof that we are doomed...fucked...oh well, no need to save for the future...there ain't gonna be one...that's strangely comforting, actually...

It's a fucking bloodbath out there in this economy. By all means, fuck college up and move back in with mommy and daddy. Maybe you can get lucky and find a rich dude to marry at the party.
HTH
Shes got Lartinos, whose madbanking it with Adderlin rob
If Halloween is a big enough deal for you to enjoy and look forward to as something to celebrate, chances are that there will be other reasons/holidays that you can look forward to celebrating over the next year as well.
What is your status in this class? Your grade? Your relationship with the prof? What year are you in college? Where do you go to school, how much is this course costing you?
Why Miami for Halloween? Is there something that won't be there at another time? Can you not just stay at home and where the same costume to local bar/house party?
Have you paid a bunch of money already on plane tickets/hotel, etc?
If this was the case, the thing to do would have been to talk to the professor as soon as you got the new syllabus.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that her mind probably won't be prepared to take a test after the weekend.
Fail
One Can never under estimate that womanly power of persuasion.
you sure need a good excuse, with tuition costs and in this economy it should be a no brainer...
this ^^^^
at that point the professor would have likely let you take the midterm early..this late in the game, it just looks irresponsible ...not that thats shocking in a college student
Why? She's not special. If she can't make one fucking midterm every six months, she should definitely hit up the party... and then the welfare line.
Pretty little princess needs to grow the fuck up.
yeah I guess, but then I made arrangements with professors when I went to Hawaii...of course I was getting married and it was the only time we could arrange with work schedules and childcare...and asked during add/drop if it was going to a problem and if it was..I'd drop the classs then and see em next semester, no harm no foul
but managed to make midterms two semesters before that two days after having surgery for thyroid cancer...so uhmm
ya, I get your point but know that professors can be flexible if you're up front about it from the getgo...
meh
shes fucked, she doesn't need us to tell her that

lol, Yes and no. This is the one day of the entire semester that I was cool with her missing. Turns out because of everything this is very bad. She somehow came up with a legit looking doctor's note from a friend of hers.
lolololololol @ dr's note vs legit looking drs note
awesome

It does indeed look real, it must be a real one that was stolen.
Samoth just sounds like an old man, lol. Take it easy man. I agree she could take school a little more seriously. School also doesn't guarantee success either. I used to know a very intelligent landscaper who had a masters degree, lol. I had a friend who became a millionaire who didn't even go to college.
He actually enjoyed the best years of his life and wasn't stuck in class and broke as hell.
And what does it say?

look at you chomping at the bit to bash whatever she writes
its a relevant question rob lol
if it says she can miss class because she has AIDS im guessing that isnt going to fly so well.
If I were the prof I would call the docs number on the note just to confirm since its conveniently halloween shes asking off for
Gah, not another LOOK AT BILL GATES, THE EXCEPTION PROVES THE RULE argument. I have anecdotal proof, too! Every person I, like, ever knew in my life that went to school became a multi-millionaire, and every person that didn't became a bum. (See how that argument doesn't work? If so, might I recommend a class in basic logic? It makes for much better debates.)
It is very important for one to establish their character and fitness early in life. This thread seems to seek congratulations when condolances are warrented... but whatever, good job lying and skipping a class you're paying for. I'm sure this attitude and behavior will instantaneously change the second you're out of school, though.
Will she go the way of our young Glad and not listen when she has the chance? On the next episode of The Young and the Elitefitness....
^^^ this! the prof will call...
LMAO

I love logic:
Two farmers, Jim and Bob, are sitting at their favorite
bar, drinking beer.
Jim turns to Bob and says, "You know, I'm tired of going
through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the
Community College and sign up for some classes."
Bob thinks it's a good idea, and the two leave. The next
day, Jim goes down to the college and meets dean of admissions, who
signs him up for the four basic classes: Math, English, History, and
Logic.
"Logic?" Jim says. "What's that?"
The dean says, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a
weed eater?"
"Yeah."
"Then logically speaking, because you own a weed eater,
I think that you would have a yard."
"That's true, I do have a yard."
"I'm not done," the dean says. "Because you have a yard,
I think logically that you would have a house."
"Yes, I do have a house."
"And because you have a house, I think that you might
logically have a family."
"Yes, I have a family."
"I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then
logically you must have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic
tells me you're likely a heterosexual."
"I am a heterosexual. That's amazing, you were able to
find out all of that because I have a weed eater."
Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's
hand and leaves to go meet Bob at the bar. He tells Bob about his
classes, how he is signed up for Math, English, History, and Logic.
"Logic?" Bob says, "What's that?"
Jim says, "I'll give you an example. Do you have a weed
eater?"
"No."
"Then you're a queer."
This. School is your primary obligation at this stage in your life.

You seem pretty fired up Samoth.
I am not looking to have an e-war with you.
It is not happening. I am pretty excited for Miami this weekend.
I have friends in both fort lauderdale and Miami. I'm gonna check temp right now

There is a reason I dislike working with certain types of people. Don't go into a project knowing the requirements and flake out....I've turned down projects I've been offered as project manager due to the fact I worked with people they already hired. ...Your flakiness will follow you through life...just sayin'.
But she's already paid tuition.
Or rather her parents...
Seriously fucked-up priorities goin' on here.
ding ding ding!! You know they will be untz untz untz untzing all weekend.

Lol, everyone thinks they know everything. People of the interwebs, lol. The one thing you are correct is her priorities are skewed.The actuality of the situation is quite different. She knows that as well as I do. Her school costs a ton of money too. I can see how I can be perceived a certain way on here and that is fine. This is something I would take to PM from here to explain the rest. You people take me to be very dumb sometimes.
I am quite smarter than you think I guess. This thread is a postive thing. She gets to hear your thoughts that fall in line with mine. And this situation is way deeper than a midterm.

i know plenty of smart people that are hella irresponsible
She's 20. This situation is a good one that makes her confront things in her life instead of run away from them.
i know plenty of smart people that are hella irresponsible
this...and I think responsibility comes with time and age..
like I said...college students aren't known to be the pillar of responsibility
she'll either get away with it or she won't
and she is the only one that has to deal with it..so, I really don't see what the big deal is. It isn't worth reacting strongly to for anyone aside from meloh and lartinos.
The Monday after Halloween is All Saints Day. That's a Holy Day of Obligation in the Catholic Church. So I guess you could say you're a devout Catholic and pull the religion card, though I don't think you should rank Miami as high a priority as your education.
But messed up priorities are your problem, not mine, so lie away.
I'm just purely curious, I'm neither criticizing or anything else, I just really gotta know:
What on earth is so damned important you're willing to risk the class? Yes, you have a doctor's note, but the professor could very easily pick up the phone, call the doctor and confirm your were ill or whatever you're going with. If it is a party, then I'm truly curious, what could make this party so important? I honestly have to know.

i was young and kinda irresponsible once upon a time...never when it came to actual work...but definitely with regard school...however, when i blew things off, i knew damn well i was wrong, and i didn't look for excuses...i just cleaned up the mess as best i could afterward.

I've found people who make comments like this usually aren't. I'm actually glad to hear she is 20; she should go and have a great time. Hopefully an alligator will swim on by and take her head off since clearly she isn't using it. What a loser..
P.S be sure to let the one paying for your education know how well their money is being spent!
