At the beginning of the school, I asked around, seeing what free periods my friends had. As the day progressed toward my free period, sixth, I realized I would be all alone and friendless.

The free period began and I realized I was one of about five people in the school with that hour free. I decided to make good use of my time by working on homework that I had.

However, on days where I didn't have homework, I resorted to pacing. I read for a while, got a drink, did some homework, got a drink, zoned out, got a drink, and so on.

The idea of working entertained me for about two or three weeks, after which I promptly became bored out of my mind. I needed something to do so I turned to the library. The library gave me a new outlet, reading Kurt Vonnegut books. The great works of Vonnegut have greatly entertained me, but who knows how long this will last.

Sometimes I go up to the computer lab, sit in the back of Computer Literacy 1. While wishing I was still in a class where I knew everything that was going on, I waste my time on the Internet or I attempt to write papers.

If I have learned one thing from this free period it is this: Even if there are no distractions around, it is still almost impossible for me to get much done.
