I live 30 kms from my school, ie it's in the next town. I walk to the bus stop which is about a km away and then travel on the bus to school... It takes me about 45 mins to finally get there

Sometimes I can get lifts from my mum which is good too.
Lucky! I go to Caringbah High, but it takes me an hour to get their. 20 minutes bus, 40 minutes train. Gah! :(

Primary school days were the best! Sleep early and wake up at 8:30 a.m. Now I can't find time to have sufficient sleep because I procrastinate too much.

about 10 mins if I'm driving (best I've done is 7 min, extremely late for 3rd period and truanting)
about 15-20 min if mum's driving
35-40 min by bus

unfortunately the bus comes at 7.30 so very early for school on those days. (but not early enough for a morning class!) not enough sleep either. doctor says i need sleep...
