I am a skipper. I have no good excuse, other than that I always enjoy my time more if I know that I’m stealing it away. I skipped a billion classes in college and I still skip out of meetings and conferences for work if I can. But the problem is that I skip even things that I wanted to do. It’s like a horrible itch to leave early or not go at all.

I’ve just signed up for a ceramics course and I’m really excited about it. I threw clay for the first time last night and I know that I want to go back and make things and have a great time. I would regret skipping out on any of these great weeks and I would kick myself for wasting money. But. I know I will itch to skip.

I don’t want to skip class—so this is my challenge.
