I’ve Got Bank (Absence Submission)

Bank has many definitions, but the one that applies to all is: a supply of something held in reserve. I’ve got bank. I have money in my account but more importantly I have absences to use. Not waste, use. Wasting absences is not showing up to class because you want to go out instead of attending to your responsibilities. Wasting absences is missing the first week of school because your not mentally prepared to go back to school. Wasting absences is not showing up for school for any reason that doesn’t leads to productivity. Wasting absences is like wasting money, spending all of your money on a weekend binge of fun. Fun is fun, until your fun gets in the way of your funds. You have funds to have fun but the purpose of funds isn’t fun. Money is meant to take care of responsibilities. When the debt of responsibility is fulfilled doesn’t mean that the rest of the funds are for fun. One has to consider the unexpected; when something unforeseen arises and demands your funds, but you don’t have the funds because you spent all your money on fun. That’s what the bank is for, to store your funds away from fun so that when the unexpected arises you have the funds.

I have absences in the bank so that when something unforeseen happens I have enough absences in storage that my grade isn’t effected by my absence. I have been given four absences in a four month period which is more than enough funds in the bank that I can take one or two for fun. The class is at 8am, so how much funs can one have at 8am.  However, the night before is the night before. The time to have fun is at night and that is usually when people need funds because fun at night demands funds. But like most people that use their bank funds for fun there comes a time when something unexpected arises and they have to tap into their bank funds for something not fun. If these unforeseen circumstances arise, often people will curse themselves for using their bank funds for fun instead of using their fun-funds for fun.

I’ve choose to sleep in twice for this class because sometimes I just need a break from getting 5 hours of sleep. One of the two times I was pressured to go out after work and the other time I was exhausted. Half of my funds are gone but I was at the halfway point in the semester so I still had funds in the bank. Until an unforeseen circumstance arose, my alarm didn’t go off. Well it went off but I turned the sound off the night before at work and forgot to turn it back on when I got home. I woke up at 9 and realized that I missed class. That’s why I have absences in the bank, but now I’m low on funds and have no room to use them for fun; which is ok because the purpose of funds isn’t fun.

    Most of my funds are gone too, if not all. I feel you on this. I like the whole “I’ve got bank” thing, and I feel like I’m about to watch a Spike Lee film with your intro. That’s a good thing.

    It looks like you’ve gone for some alliteration with the words “funds” and “fun” towards the end. Was this intentional?

    Sleeping in is something all us students can relate to. You may recall that I wrote something similar about a day that I was exhausted. What’s the point of going to class if you’re not going to absorb anything? I don’t even know when I’m NOT tired anymore.

    This is short and sweet. I’m noticing a trend in the absence stories where we don’t seem to treat them quite the same as an assigned reading. I’d like for us to make these writings stories too, not just direct explanations for absences.
