I have a similar schedule.

Wake up at 7 M-F for school

get out anywhere from 1:40-4PM from school then either work at 2PM on days I get out at 1:40 ( 15 min drive from school to work)

Days I get out at 4 I work at 4:30.

Either days I work until 11PM working 36 hours a week having at most 3 days off a week...I love life

Seriously though Mike, that's a killer schedule. Can you cut down your work hours a bit?

Mike, you will be working the rest of your life, maybe you should enjoy your highschool years - I know I regret giggin' in HS (along with my part time job). I think I missed a part of growing up and doing what kids do.

You are LUCKY! We lived for three months in a newspaper-lined septic tank! We used to have to get up every morning, at six o'clock and clean the newspaper, go to work down the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

No your lucky, We didn't have the newspaper lining. Still had to get up at 4:00 every mourning, steal a newspaper to line the septic tank with, go build the mill, twenty-six hours a day, for five pence a week! Walk uphill fifteen miles to school both ways, our teachers all spoke chinese so we didn't learn anything. And then when we got home our dad would take out the staple gun and staple our tongues to the wooden septic tank floor, oh, and dinner, the staples.
