Re: do you guys attend classes regularly during the time between kickoff and shipment?

Our school is fairly strict on skipping class, and we don't get extensions for FIRST, as this is only our second year, and I can't imagine they will ever give us that. But some teachers are kind enough to look the other way when we pass out in class, or try to finish hw for other classes in their classes.

We try to work from 4-11 each night, if not later, but I'm in the tough situation of having a sport at the same time. If I miss too much track, I'll have to do a million laps when I start coming again, but it means I miss 3 hours of build time every day. I do know that during this final week, I've been trying to cut out early along with another guy, just to get some more stuff done. All I know is that once this is over I'm going to sleep for once, and I'll enjoy it!
