are going to let you skip school for day 1?
Mine are, if I keep up my grades! =p
When I was in high school, I just got out early.
No offense...but why is this in the cosplay area?
To screw with our heads.

hehe, I forgot I was in this section when I posted this.... *smiles sheepishly* =^_^'=
I'm not skipping any days. My finals finish the week before fanime.
I haven't been in school for years. I filed time off from work a month ago.
I have to wait for my sister to get out early. Then haul-ass to San Jose!
I'm not in school anymore, but I'm sure my parents would have let me. They let me get out of school early once so I could wait in line to see the new Star Wars movie. ;D
D': My parents didn't let me out early, but now I'm in college and don't have any finals on Friday!
You're all luckies!
My parents are the typical Asian parents. They will make me go to school even if I was really sick. I gotta be nearly DYING to be absent from school.
I'll be leaving right after school though so that's good.
FanimeCon is two days after my final day of school :)
I'm an adult who lives on his own so I don't need to ask for such a thing but my parents know that I will not be contacting them that weekend and my job know that I'm not showing up regardless.(If they schedule me I'm just going to call in sick.) 8)
I'm out of college like a few weeks and I going to spent those weeks as Laughing Man MK. II...not really.
I haven't miss a class yet, but when Fanime starts I only miss one class, one miss class won't hurt and plus my finals are a week after fanime :(.
I don't have classes on Tuesday. Thursday, Friday, nor Weekend days.
Being a college graduate kicks ass. ;D All I'm doing is getting my shifts covered at work.
I'm one of the few lucky people who's last day of school happens to be the Pre-Reg Pickup day for Fanime.
So, as soon as I get home, I toss my luggage into a car, get a ride and get dropped off to survive for about 5 days in an over packed hotel room full of costumes, wigs, pocky, ramen, hentai and bodies.
=\ it seems i will be in stockton this year when i take my philosophy final but after that its smooth sailing from there
in my opinion, so long as your not missing anything major i suppose letting ur teachers know that your taking a day or weekend off is ok.
i remember students having family vacations and thus the teacher or students would make arrangements for the lost time persay.
with fanime almost being like a mini vacation for your fanboys and girls again just making sure your making responsibilities are kept in check and ur not just running off for the fun of it.
some parents are a little to relax and some are a little too strict that is based sometimes on your relationship with your parents and the possible compromise that some parents allow.
not all parents are great, but then again some parents blame the rest of their world if their kids get into trouble...
for us other adults, like college students and so forth its tough with some of us having finals, projects, papers and what not, and then some of career ppl have to request the time off way in advance.
in other words, to each is own, and just play nice and keep up with ur personal, family or life responsibilities.
woot for responsibility. :D
I believe my last final is around a Tuesday, so I'll be free for Friday.
in college lol
but i have finals that day ;__________; possibly 'til 5pm
I'm also in college...it depends on what's going on in my classes that day. *sigh*
Hopefully nothing major.
I graduated from high school years ago and am currently not in college.
I'm too busy saving up for my own place / vacations like this.
And I've already talked with my general manager about the days off, so everything's settled here.
Besides that, I live halfway across the country anyways. My parents would never have allowed this if they still had any control over me at all. o:
my school takes a feild trip to it
qnd also we are in general discusion arnt we?
My last final is on the Tuesday before, and even if it weren't finals season for SJSU before Fanime, I don't have Friday classes.
Two years ago, when I was still in high school, my mom probably would have let me skip classes; I just would have been on my own for a ride.
My last final is on day 1, but it's in the morning so I'm half ok, although i may miss the grand opening of the dealers room, no0o0o0o0oooo0o0o0o!!!
But my parents let my sister "get sick" for day 1, this will be like the third time they've let her. When I was in high school, I wrote my own sick notes lol.
school gets out at 1:25 ~
then walk to convention center B)

Here here
than again I finish finals a week before the con. However, I have to work up until the 22nd. My parents would never let me leave early for anything. School was the most important thing in the world. I'd have to be dead in my bed before I could miss school.
Taking courses in the summer so it's no hinder of going on Thursday. Just told to take times off from work so it's a green. My parents don't care as long I called them to be check on.
ahh. Usually I ask for work ahead and turn them in the day before so I could be absent. But I think this year, there isn't going to be school on friday. >3<
Nope. I can't miss school for day one. I may miss something important because right after fanime is finals. But on the other hand I think if you make an amv you get in for free.
My folks don't approve of what I do at times (such as cons and cosplay, etc.), so I don't really care about what they say. I may be skipping one day of class (since friday is finals), but it's not that bad. Good thing I don't have a final on friday. :D
As many others have said, my school finishes right before Fanime (ARC, bitches!)
Back in 04 my mom let me go to day one, which happened to be senior skip day at Lincoln :D

Sure did. I'm class of 2004
back in high school, our whole anime club gathered at school in the morning, then before first period started we were outta there caravan style lol. took us just under an hour to get to the westin. (fanime 01).
;D
Well I get out at 12:40 PM (I go to continuation school, w00t for being a failure!), but I'm still skipping school.
Im also skipping school on Tuesday because well...
I arrive Friday morning at Fanime
I Leave Saturday Night/Sunday Morning to sleep at home
6 hours of sleep.
I return to Fanime at Noon on Sunday
I leave Monday at closing time
Sleep for 10-16 hours
I'll probably be drink energy drinks just to stay awake.
My god am I going to Fill Horrible...
Luckily, I don't go to high school, so I pretty much go when I wake up.
I need to talk to my mom about it. She did say a few months back that we could talk about letting me skip school for Fanime, I was like "But its only ONE day! Plzzzzzzzzzzzzz?!"
Since I'm finished with school and 21 I don't have to worry about that. XD
Well, for my first year at Fanime (back in 2006 when I was a senior in high school), my mom let me skip school on Friday so my friends and I could use the day to drive down. ;D
But for the past two years, I haven't had to miss any school since the college's spring semester ends a couple weeks before. :3 Woohoo!
This year, though, I'm missing two performances of "Little Shop of Horrors" at the local theatre that I'm playing piano for. But that's okay, 'cause we got someone to fill in for me on the dates I'm missing. <3 (And that... is an entirely different story. XD)
