I get up at 5:30AM, get to school at 7:15AM, school's out at 2:00PM, then get home at 2:40PM, do homework until early in the morning (average 1:00AM), then go to sleep. So I get 4 hours a night.
Chuck, that's 6-7 hours of sleep a night for you, that's more than me! And try not sleeping, it's so bad. On Tuesday, I pulled an all-nighter for this stupid History paper, and today, I saw my teacher in the hallway, and I saw, "hey, I did the entire paper on Tuesday", and he said "what! Did you go to sleep?" and I said "No", and he stared at me waving his hand in my face. I can handle not sleeping for 1 night, but when it gets to 2 nights, it's fifty times worse.
Davinci (I'm gonna call you Davinci, I like it better), I've been wondering. If college is like what I'm going through now, how in the world am I going to be able to have a job in college? With so much work, it's impossible!
Moose, Massachusetts ranks 49th in the country. Our STUPID governer is cutting education funding again, and we get nearly nothing right now, which may bring us to 50th. My town is trying to raise taxes for the school, because there's nearly nothing. The school is concidering cancelling all 3-4 year languages, all AP classes, and most after-school sports. My school was built in 1997, and looks very modern, but it isn't. The fastest computer in the building is 166Mhz, my Casio is nearly that, and an iPAQ would beat it. Drugs are one of the worst here, the smell of marijuna is constant in the bathrooms and stairwells. The dumb thing is that they lock all the bathrooms except ONE, so we have to endure the smells, powders, pills, and TONS of ash in the bathrooms, and they never clean them! (nor bother to flush...). As for teachers, my English teacher is 21, my math teacher is 25, my last year's history teacher was 21 and is still in college. Today, a new teacher came and watched my math class, she was 19. Teachers only last a few years, because of nearly no pay. So I have a crappy school, but then we get TONS AND TONS of work. Because we get SOO much work, the school got a "blue ribbon of excellence" from the state. Oh, there's also a large suicide club (2 people killed themselves last year, none so far this year), a large neo-nazi club, a large youth of faith club, and the worst thing of all!! A save the rainforest club!!!
Moose, I think mine comes pretty close to yours...
