50/50 chance?

So, I can’t decide whether to go to my late class today from 7:30 to 8:45 or skip it to go see the free screening of Kick-a** downtown at 7:00. For most people this would be a no-brainer, but I take classes very seriously and have only skipped a class once in all my 13 years (so far) of school. So, in my indecision, I decided to flip a coin. I only had a penny handy, so I used that. Anyway, I flipped it once, claiming, “Heads: skip class, tails: go to class”. It came up tails. I resigned myself to go to class, but then thought, what if? So I flipped it two more times (best 3 out of 5) and they both came up heads. I then flipped for best of 7 and got two more heads. I flipped it one final time with the mindset of this will decide it, and got tails. So I ended up with 5 heads and 2 tails. Curious as to the distribution and the implication, I tried again with Heads being to go to class and tails being skip class. I again got: heads, tails, tails, tails, tails, tails, heads. I had repeated it exactly the same way, physically, with only the interpretation differing. I really don’t want to skip class, but I really want to see the movie for free tonight with a bunch of friends. What really confuses me is that the numbers say skip class, but the one-shot’s say to go to class. By the time anybody reads this, it will probably be too late for any advice, but I just wonder what the results mean…
