No School for me! I'm on vacations, and I will be until March, so I have an entire month to enjoy Brawl without distractions!

Nope. I won't have the game until the 11th unless Gamespot is amazing with shipping. But, I won't be taking the 11th off either. My schedule isn't that bad as in-class time (although I'll need to be spending a lot of time to read textbooks). I'm sure I'll be able to play the game quite a bit as well.

Heh, I'm skipping school on Monday. Then on Friday, It's Presidents Weekend I think, and then, Tuesday will be an in-staff service day. Hurray for 5-day weekend!:D

Actually I'm going to bring my wii to school and just each class I enter I will hook it up to the class room TV, I don't think I will have to worry about teachers giving me shi,t cuz I'll be so adrenalinenated and I should still have a caffeine rush from drinking monsters so I'm pretty sure I could ward them off somehow....

As tempting as it may be, I only have three hours of class a day so I think I could live through it. 10-2 maybe class time, but from there on out it's me-time (which will most likely = brawl).
Though if there are some classes I don't need to attend I'll probably skip, man I miss only having to be at speech class only a couple time a month.

If it's released on Monday, my parents can get it while I'm at school, heck, I can wait... I heard Brawl is shipping on Feb. 9 so it can be sold at the right date.. Feb 10.. I'll probably get it on Sunday morning

I took off of work from Feb. 12th to Feb. 16th solely for Brawl. I've got some friends coming down from up north for what I call "Smashmas". Basically, it's an entire week of Smash. Nothing else.

I took off the 12th because I honestly think that stores won't get it until then, but...if I do indeed get it on the 10th (or at a midnight launch) my job might need to find somebody to cover for me on the 10th and 11th. :p

Two words for you that will solve your problem,

Fake sick.

Works for me every time;)
I think Ive got that day off, but see, that would never work for me., see, my grandmother loves games, and shes the only one oin my house who will listen to me harp about Brawl, etc. etc. (shes awesome) and she would know if I tried to fake it that day that I just wanted to play Brawl (she'd know anyway, but I'd be mental to try on that particular day lol.

Meh, it comes out on a Sunday right? I think one full day of Brawl will be good for me, and it's not like my class load (being a Freshman in college) is too difficult. I'll be playing the game pretty much non-stop outside of classes.

I can't :( My mom wouldn't go for it, and skipping is out of the question... we have surveillance cameras... no joke. Perhaps fake sick... but she'd make the corrilation and I'm a bad liar.
But what I am doing is all night melee's true end party with my friends then at midnight getting brawl and kicking em out so i can unlock stuff alone.
Be desperate. When you're sleeping, take some of the covers off. Hopefully, the coldness will give you a cold bad enough to get you out of school. That's what I did once, and it worked.

I think I'll just go to school. Because Brawl can easily get me through a day of that, thinking about it. Plus the more you wait, the more anticipation to get home and play, right?

Meh I dunno to early to decide xD

As much as I'd love too... The Final weeks of my last classes are them. I am supposed to Graduate with my degree on February 22nd, though the ceremony may get pushed much later. I can't afford to take any days off. >_<

;_; But I want to play Brawl. Instead I have to focus on my Final Presentation and seeking jobs. Stupid Life. Getting in the way of gaming. =p *laugh*

Well if your not sick any days during 3rd quarter of your school, and keep your grades at a B-C area, it will be worth it..

I got a few A's and B's, but this ***** of a Health teacher is trying to make it so I fail her class, I shot a condom at her face when I was a freshmen:bluejump:
LMAO.:laugh:
I will do anything in my power to take off at least that monday considering i will not b getting any sleep after i get that game in my possesion.

I'll be doing everything in my power to get that Monday off from work. I already have a pretty solid excuse lined up and I plan on giving them at least a week's notice so it won't be too bad.

If it indeed is released on Sunday, then I'll be camping for it Saturday night most likely, or at least get in front of the store EARLY Sunday morning. Are we 100% sure it's going to be SOLD on Sunday, and not arriving in stores on Sunday, only to be sold on MONDAY?

Don't need to.

Brawl is coming out during my reading week, which means I have from Feb 10 - Feb 19 off to play Brawl as long as I want :grin:. Then I'll be screwed for my midterms.

I will DEFINITELY be skipping school the following 2 days after receiving this game. I am not going to band practice, work, or spending any time with my girlfriend (unless she'd like to come over and play co-op event mode with me :p)
