-I can't come to work today because the city is paving my street and I can't get out!\n-Constipation. Say no more. \n-The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet. \n-I am not coming in because I tried to dye my hair blonde, but it came out green!\n- am sorry but I will be unable to come in to work today. My agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house) is beginning to kick in.\nHope one of these can help! hahaha!!

What a kind thought! I'm very proud of you for considering it. Most people wouldn't...or I hope they would.....\nI would suggest a gift certificate to her favourite restaurant or shopping place. You might invite her out for a nice dinner also on the evening before you leave. She is being very kind and you, in turn, are kind to consider that.

I know how you feel- no relaxed visiting- just a mad dash to make it to the next get together.  Its nice to be invited to more than one place, but it is a strain and really no fun to have to rush through a visit or dinner.  \n     You have a good idea, I think if I were you, I would go ahead and separate for the day to each family.  Especailly since you have family that you only see this time of year.  That time is precious- and you won't get the time back.

yes, most definitely.\n\ndo something useful though - lots of charitable work available anywhere in the world.\n\njust "traveling" is NOT good experience for anything real\n\nIt's NOT a break in the sense of a holiday - it should be time to reflect on what you want to do with your life, before getting back into the academic grind of getting a degree\n\nMrAndersonMan is wrong

Why not? If its a great date, then you scored.\n\nIf its a so-so date, at least you got out of the house.\n\nAnd if its horrible, then you will have a funny story to tell later on!

I would make sure each parent calls the school to excuse you.  Look at the attendance policy at your school to make sure of what an "excused" absence is and what the policy is on getting the work.  The other thing is that all the excuses cannot be the same for each of you, and the theme park excursion must be kept between those that attend.  :)

Go and have fun, life is full of disappointment. call them up and wish them happy birthday, the same would happen if the tables are reversed.  Enjoy your trip. be lucky you can go.

You sound like a bit of a psycho but thats ok, I suggest sorting yourself out first. Set the alarm clock for 4am get up showered and go for a walk around the local green area park etc savouring the peace and tranquility, say hello or nod to everybody you pass, go to a coffeeshop and have a lite breakfast whilst reading a newspaper, do this for one week, after one week you will be sleeping better, have a greater appreciation of your vicinity and your senses will have heightened.

I understand that you don't feel your best and you don't want to let your parents down but you might find that a weekend away does you good.  It will take your mind off how you are feeling, fresh air is a fantastic mood lifter in itself, and besides you always enjoy things more when you are not looking forward to them!  Hope you have a fun weekend whatever you end up doing :)

No, just go in there, be confident and tell them that your last day will be in two weeks. Good luck! :)

That sounds normal to me.  I am not moving but I think that you would want to see your friends and the comfortable familiarities of your life because you will be going to a new place. Good luck.
