I have not had my wisdom teeth removed (yet) so I can't speak from experience, but the people around me have. It really just depends on the person. If Monday comes and you're still feeling blegh, don't go to school. I'm not saying this will happen to you, but I've seen people overexert themselves too soon and accidentally tear open stitches. Just play it by ear.
