Rouri ES Everyone had individual ways to unwind after the last class and San Pedro students were lia- ble to be found almost anywhere. Some stu- dents began homework, finding it easier to get it out of the way rather than put it off, but others found that all they could do when they got home was grab something to eat before they fell asleep.
