Ditching

 Maybe call this Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and then collage with different things. Like a creative nonfiction piece. Collage things about fast food, skipping, and school

Find that book where someone's talking about the movie from the '80s, it's an eighties book from the library

Watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off just before I started working at McDonald's

Ross gay talks about how he, too seldom missed school. He never skipped a day or basketball practice.

He said just before his father was diagnosed with liver cancer and he was ready to get to his job at Applebee's, Ross said oh man, blow it off. Let's go watch Hellboy.

You have no idea how bad I wish I could. That was the first time he said anything like that.

We have our duties and responsibilities, but we also have the fear of being fired and such systems. Even calling in to work at a restaurant you could get fired.

Skipping work in a corporate world, you have to call in and use one of your personal days.

You might get two weeks vacation off but one of those weeks have to be split up. Also they can't be back to back

I told my students, which I mean those students who would never miss a class, just plan for one day where you can miss a class. But I still hear of instructors saying they cannot miss a single class. The tyranny of this, the authoritarian horribleness, sorry if you're one of those professors who are reading this. I fully understand you want students engaged but we have to find ways to engage students through love and commitment. We have to tell students they can take one day off and go somewhere get out of town.

Sandra would do this, that she was just decide on an afternoon she was going to Kansas City instead of sleeping as she worked the night shift. I try to think of her when I do skipping.

Ferris looks right into the camera, right into the audience, and tells us this wisdom about life. He's encouraging us to enjoy a day by creating the best escape plans. There is no day we get to see Ferris in school. There is no day we get to see his work ethic except that he somehow convinces everyone on a float to do a dance coordinated song from the Beatles
