The Anatomy of Skipping

So as a university student I attend my classes regularly, but lately I've had trouble going to a few of my classes. It's just so easy to skip a couple of them. Between boring lectures, terrible profs, and no attendance marks, I just don't see the point in going to a class like Geography.

I'm going to say something a little weird here, but bear with me. After about a month of classes I always think of my classes in terms of bar graphs. I have various categories that I think about and I grade a class from one to ten  in each category. Things like the quality of the prof, my interest in the course, and how much weight the prof has placed on participation. Thinking like this gives me visual statistics and helps me determine whether or not I should actually bother going to class.

Here's a couple examples of graphs I think of.

This first graph is for Geography. As you can see the ratings for prof, interest, and participation are all minimum. I do technically need the course, but just the credit, and I do have a couple friends in the course. So overall Geography only has an average score of 2, not a great turnout. 

Here is another graph, but this one is for Creative Writing. As you can see this class scores high in both prof and interest, and it gets a full 10 for participation because every class missed is 10% off your final grade. I don't really need this class and, like I said in a previous post, I kinda dislike a lot of the people in the class which prevents me from making friends. So this class has an average of 5.8, but any class that scores a perfect ten in any category is virtually unskipable. 

So as you can see I put a lot of thought into skipping a class. It isn't some arbitrary decision, it's just statistics.
