Those books are distracting from the real learnin' that's taking place in front of your very hands! Put them books away. Unless they've got something useful like maths or physics, then read them so you can work on your design work. You learn more and universities and employers and such much rather know you can think clearly than if you can find the root of a second degree polynomial. Just... focus on the task at hand.

Then again, the un/homeschooler in me was able to optimize the heck out of his daily routine (though mom would disagree). You guys spend 11+ hours a day in those meatlockers you call schools? Was that really the time I was wasting back in the public elementary education system? Jeez, no wonder I learned more in high school...

During junior/senior years of high school I spent like... 2 hours a day on average doing school-related activities. Maybe 3. Most was community college lecture.
