I love my frees......... our common room is so nice and warm.. i lie on the couch and read books i need for school or do homeowork... it is so hard getting hte effort to leave the couch and go into the cold, icy computer room to work on my ext. 2... maybe if i had a little more, my ext. 2 would be a little less stuffed!!

Arrive to school at roughly 8am every morning.

Mon: 8am-5pm
Tues: 8am-3:15
Wed: 8am-3:15 (7:30am if there was additional music rehersal)
Thurs: 8am-5pm
Fri: 8-3:15

It was roughly 40 hours or something. BUT now it's optional for Yr 12ers to attend music rehersals so....we'll see.

*made an error in the poll cuz i can't friggin add.

Everyday I'm around at school from 8am to 4pm. This sucks as school lessons don't start til 9:15am and end at 3:20 but my Dad's a teacher so I gotta wait around for him and get there early for staff meetings. On Mondays I'm at school til 4:45 as my little sister has a sports thing at school and I wait at school for it to finish. So....
I guess I'm there for 41 hours... (my maths skills have gone down the toilet this year so I wouldn't be surprised if I added that up wrong!)

:) Amazingly yes! No. it's just my bus comes at 8am anyway and gets me home half an hour later than Dad driving. I live 10 mins drive from school but it takes heaps longer to get home by bus. Stupid but eh, oh well.

Ride a pushy. It'd be way quicker, plus you get the benefit of more exercise :) And also, riding bikes is kinda fun.. I saw a guy riding a bike the other day and i was like "aww :(" cause i havent really rode my bike since i started driving.. except for a few late night rides anyways..

I think it would be a wiser idea to ride a bike to parties than driving home drunk at 10km/h. :p

>_>

<_<

Stuff like that should be in white text :p

Riding a bike drunk is actually not as hard as i thought it'd be.. I've only done it once, but i didnt crash once, and i rode a fair way.. Then again, the guy i was riding with crashed into a mailbox and 2 gutters and got hurt each time :p i guess i was just lucky.

Ha. Far out... I haven't ridden my bike for soooo long. It's the one I got when I was 10 years old and the brakes are shot. Exercise bike? I can ride that. I haven't got my P's yet so that isn't a deterrant! Waiting means I get a lot of work done though! (When there is no one around to talk too and you're bored you end up working cos there isn't anything better to do.... except when you're borrowing the staffroom computer and BoS somehow manages to come up on the screen. I have no idea how *innocence*)

Fixed.

Last time I tried to ride a bike whilst drunk, I made no forward progress and wound up falling on my side into a garden, where i broke a fence, a light and a knocked over a gnome. I still get shit for that at school, lol.
