My daily routine consists of getting up in the morning, going to school and then go- ing to work.” “School just gets so bor- ing. I walk the same way to my classes everyday and it gets so monotonous,” Goy Oparakum, a senior, stated. “It’s nice when there is a fire drill, the electricity goes out or when anything unex- pected happens. It seems to break some of the monotony,” she concluded. Getting up earlier or later than normal affects the rest of my day. It doesn’t seem to go right and I feel awkward,” sophomore Greg Jacobs commented, explaining that changes in his schedule affected the whole day. “Pep rallies, ad- visory classes and shorten- ed periods also mess up my timing,” Greg concluded. Some people did not mind having certain routines, as senior Vicky Acosta explained, “I like having a schedule that I can count on. It may get boring at times, but usually, I know what I will be doing at a certain time.” 1 Waiting for his time to use the o putcr.
