Default Help re: prop bets for attending class (xpost)

I am looking for ideas: re prop bets to further add some incentive towards attending classes more. I know this begins with personal responsibility, obviously, but some creative incentive to further this along would make things much, much better. For you see, I suck at academics.

Anyways ideas appreciated plz gogogoogogogo.

I had made several prop bets on going to one single class every day last semster, following a extended absence. I went for about a month with no missed days for me and my friend that made the bet with me. Try it, but just make sure you make the stakes higher than it would be worth to sleep in.

the prop bet to go to EVERY SINGLE CLASS for a whole semester.. assuming i went back.. would have to be at least like 200k. theres no way i could force myself to wake up every day that early for anything less. id be too miserable.

So you would make 5 times as much as the average worker, just to show up for classes that you paid for, but that isn't enough to get you out of bed? Congratulations friend, you are the laziest person in the world.

Why not just take later classes? My classes this semester are at 2:15 and 3:10.

i'll probably lose this within the week...it's REALLY cold here in boston. unfortunately, we'll likely make another bet right after i lose this one and it will still be freezing and i'll just continue to pad DF's BR.
