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

I am a Junior in highschool, and I am getting prepared to go to Clarkson NEXT YEAR.
I almost HAVE to be in class everyday, otherwise I will get behind. We have block scheduling at my school, miss a day and you miss a lot. I also do not have any free periods. My schedule is fully loaded. It is a huge pain with FIRST and all.

Especially because I also WORK Mondays, Fridays and Sundays at a local restaurant.

And I have all these college deadlines and trying to find scholarships. I am nearly going crazy!

Last night I went to robotics around 6:00 and didnt get home until around 12:30 [Mind you, I commute because I go to help the Penfield Robotics Team, which is 30 min away.]

But, even though I get 3-5 hours of sleep a night and struggle to get all my homework in on time. I manage. And well, robotics for me has definately been worth all the stress

I cant wait for a break though. I have school off the week of ship. And I took off of work, so I will have a nice 5 days to relax.
