How will these all fit into my backpack?

CA schools are weird. We had lockers. And hallways that are inside!

What's the difference between stashing drugs in your locker or keeping them in your ginormous-locker-on-wheels suitcase?

They can legally search your locker, but they can't search your backpack


And we have inside hallways too, but all the classrooms are also accessible from outside, save for a few on the second story that overhangs a cliff (its hard to explain). No one uses the hallways since its just faster to walk outside.

Some of the people in the same boat as me were talking about rolling backpacks, but that would be wayyyyy too geeky. Plus, it would be a pain to carry up and down the stairs.

So to deal with the drug problem they force you to put them where they can't look? The obvious answer would be to ban backpacks.

Christ. I forgot you're in high school (and thought it was kind of weird you'd think they might have lockers).

If you want a real solution and have a bit of spare time. Start each week by going to Kinko's and photocopying the relevent sections of the textbook for the upcoming week. Put it all in a single 3-ring binder and then you have the added benefit of being free to mark it up all you want.

You're carrying around 25 pounds of paper when in any given week you're only using 1.

Yeah, but with all the AP's (4) and the college Spanish I'm taking, it feel like I'm not!

I just started my Junior year today (which is weird, considering I first joined MousePad when I was in 6th grade ).

And the Kinko idea is actually really good. Would there be any copyright implications with that?

With the backpack issue, one of the Junior Highs out here now gives each student a clear backpack they are required to use. If you ask me, thats a little overboard, considering I know more than a few girls put stuff in their backpack they wouldn't want other people seeing...

For just your personal use, no not really.

If you have a scanner at home you can also scan and print.

I started my junior year in high school in 1980. I suddenly feel very old.

I attended Senior classes for the first time in 1974 so I've got you beat. Of course, it was in the arms of my recently pregnant mother, but I still claim seniority.
