Missing Classes

[juldea]

So I've come up with this little scale system for when I miss classes, but I need people's help to impliment the idea. I'm keeping track of every time I miss a class, and associating a point value with it. Here are how the point values are determined:

0 - I'm dead, or close to it, and there is absolutely no way I can make it to class.

1 - I'm sick, or out of town for a good reason, and going to class wouldn't be best for me.

2 - Going to class would compromise my health in some way (i.e. only had a little bit of sleep and going to class instead of sleeping would impair my driving, etc)

3 - I'm just in a bad mood and don't want to make it to class.

4 - I overslept, or was running late, and although it would only take a bit of work to make it to class, I didn't go.

5 - I was standing at the doorway of the classroom and decided instead to go and have a taco or something. ;)


Anyway, at the end of the year I'll have all these points (hopefully not too many), and I need suggestions as to how I will translate them into some kind of penalty for myself. Something I will dread this much in advance, like...

ooh man. Freezing my mud character for that many days. :( That's one.

Anyway, I need more suggestions! Help! :)

Positive reinforcement works better than negative I usually say. Mebbe there's something small you can do if you have an unblemished day, couple days, or week of class attendance.

An unblemished day is easy. An unblemished week is a lot tougher. An unblemished month is damn near impossible.

so go on a week-by-week basis

But what's the reward?

I dunno, find something small that you'd like.

I think that oversleeping should certainly be in a higher position that being in a bad mood...

Well, by oversleep I don't mean that I sleep through class (that's usually caused by sickness or bad moods), but rather like today... I slept until 8:10 and didn't have time to really shower or anything, but still went to class. I thought about not going, and there are somewhat valid reasons, but not very valid.
