Ah, as a notorious skipper, let me tell you, it never pays off. You had extra bad luck though haha. Anyway, don't corrupt your own work ethic, skipping classes becomes a nasty habit quite quickly and it can seriously mess with your education schedule. And since you never spend the time completely guilt-free anyway it's really not worth it. Now you know, though, and that's what bucket lists are for, too. :)

I would argue it worked out extremely well for you. The professor clearly didn't introduce anything new or key, you weren't the only one gone and if, you are a good student, you won't need the extra credit. Hope you made the most of your time off!
