Staying home sick

I always found it to be a very weird feeling when I had to stay home from school sick. All day I'd spend at home, but it was surreal since I knew I was supposed to be somewhere else. I'd look at my clock, and say to myself, "You'd be in [insert class] right now." I hated the feeling, that life was happening where you should be, and yet you weren't there. I guess I just hated skipping school.
