 computer in my school, and that was even in a rather
large city
(Pasadena). We found a lot of other things to occupy us, though, like
finding creative ways to get over (and under) the 8 foot chain-link fence

 attendance ratio of about 2/3 and a homework ratio of
about 1/4. Does that 
I wish I could do that!!!! I spend around 1/3-1/6 of my time working, the
