Breaks, breaks and guess what, more breaks!

Today we had more breaks than we had school. It started with having double German. Murray and I had about the first 10 minutes but then the prac teacher said that we could go to the library because it is too boring in German because they are just going over a book they read which Murray and I haven't. Then with 15 minutes recess we have had 1.5 hours break. After recess was double chemistry where we learnt about elctron bonding kinda stuff. Sub total, 1.5 hours break, 1.5 hours work. 50:50. On Tuesdays we have KL go into lunch, but what that means is we have a free period before lunch on Thursdays. 45 minutes runs into 2 hours lunch. (BTW that made lunch almost 4 times as long as it is at WAC) This brings the sub total to almost 4.5 hours break for only 1.5 hours of school work. After lunch we had double music. This would have helped even the break to work ratio, if the lesson wasn't cut short. The teacher had to go do something in the last half hour so that just turned into more break. 5 hours break for 2.5 hours work. Finally we had a single GK. This brings to total to about 5 hours of breaks for only 3 hours of work..... Today we had enough breaks alone to have an entire school day's worth of work at WAC....ONE DAY OF WORK WE HAD PURELY IN BREAKS. Don't get me wrong, some of the German's way of school is cool but WOW.
