There's 2 ways "the day were absent" can go
either: BRO THE PRINCIPAL WAS NICE THAT DAY SO HE CANCELLED ALL CLASSES AND WE ALL WENT TO THE MOON AND IT TURNS OUT THAT MICHAEL JACKSON NEVER DIED AND HES AN ALIEN LIVING ON THE MOON AND THEN WE GOT BACK AND ALL WATCHED AVENGERS AND THEN THE AVENGERS CAST CAME TO OUR SCHOOL AND WE ALL GOT PRIZES AND CANDY AND IT WAS SO AWESOME YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE
or: THERE WAS SO MUCH WORK THAT DAY WE HAVE 38726428 PAGES OF HW AND 334226 PAGES OF CLASSWORK BRO YOU MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH WORK AND NOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT AT HOME-
and there is no in between.
