The Shortest of them All


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hello everyone!! I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while. I've been pretty un-busy with school. Let me tell you about it.

During the month of January, my school has this little thing we call Jan Term. It's when the school gives the students a chance to take one or two classes during the month of January. Instead of having class every other day for about and hour and a half, we have class everyday for about two to two and a half hours. It's basically like fitting 4 months of class time into one month, because of this it is the shortest class we take and can either be boring or quite hectic. 

The boring side. When we're not in a 2 hour class or doing homework we have the rest of the day to do nothing. That's about 10 hours of free time. What are we suppose to do? Well luckily, our school offers these things called Blah Busters. It's when the school sets up social events such as skating parties, bowling parties, movie nights and even pottery painting. Unfortunately, it still leaves a lot of random slots of time for that we can fill with...NAPS!

The hectic part. Sometimes we have classes like biology, math, or english which can make our Jan term a nightmare. All we have to do is homework, projects, dissections, etc. When this happens we can't do any of the Blah Busters or take naps. All we have to do is work, so in order for us to have free time we have to make schedules and abide by them.

So, how are you going to handle all of the free time or hectic parts of your day?
