i used 2 get up @ 6-6.30 (till yr 10), then i discovered the joys of waking up just b4 7 lol now i've got 30-35 min 2 get ready..suits me v. well lol

Thats slack, I take ages to get ready for school. Because I like relaxing, maybe always getting up at 6am has something to do with it.

I was really lucky I got into Caringbah Selective High School, and I live in Caringbah!
I catch a bus from out the front and it takes me straight there in about 20 minutes, or I can walk in about 35.
Sometimes I can get lifts from my mum which is good too.

2hrs, over half way to Melbourne for me. Thats 4hrs a day travel for a 6hr school day, so nearly half your day is spent travelling to from school.

i used to live out near campbelltown, so all up travelling to petersham and back every day was about 3 hours. we moved out to petersham about five months in though, and although i got used to the travel pretty quickly at the time, i can't imagine doing it now. it's nice not having to get up til 8.15 if i don't get ready slowly, and even better for my thursdays, where i dont start til 10.30. :)
