    I used to take down homework questions in my copy so I'd have a book or two less in my bag. Still, the smell of new books is like the best thing about starting school!

    I am about to do my last assignment of this year. :) SO EXCITED! (Not about doing it, about it being finished!). I never thought I'd make it through a whole year of college after all my dropping out and stuff so I'm really, really happy. :)

    My bag was so heavy that I had to be driven to school, a 30 second drive, 7 minute walk, because to do the walk twice in one day was torture.

    My mouth hurts, haven't eaten yet today because of the few bland soft foods I have nothing appeals :(

    ah it was ridiculous, i used to go to my grandmothers after school as my parents didnt finish work til after 6pm and I finished at 3 or whenever, and it was a 10-15 minute walk, grand normally, not so much with piles of big ass text books in your bag because our stupid school had no lockers.

    We had lockers but with 7-9 subjects a day and at least one book and copy for each my back was in bits! Had to lean forward just to keep my balance. Taking it off my back was SUCH a relief every afternoon, practically euphoric!

    Can anyone tell me why my laptop has a fit every few days and does what it's doing now, my typing is going much faster than the writing coming up on the screen, I have to type at half speed to keep in time with it...so frustrating.

    We had a 30 min walk. Plus on a Wednesday we had music, and the mother insisted that I learn the accordian, so had to carry that there and back once a week. Total waste, I was and continue to be musically challenged :D

    Tablets in school would be brilliant.

    Yeah I had a 35 minute walk home until 5th year, we moved to a new school in 6th year that was closer, but our bags were heavier, unlucky!

    Jesus, as if you don't have enough too be carting around!
    I came out of primary school once when I was about 9-10, with a really really heavy schoolbag.The weight of it actually tipped me over and I fell onto the path and bashed my head open. The bag was just so heavy I couldn't stay upright!
    I think tablets could be good, so long as there's still a good bit of focus on handwriting and spelling and the school's appreciate that not everyone is made of money!

    Tablets could just be used as text books though. Even a kindle type thing and use copybooks as well.

    Plus a table type thing would probably be cheaper than years of booklists?

    I suppose anything to stop children looking like bent over question marks with heavy school-bags full of huge books would be a good thing! :)

    Christ I used to hate my cycle home from school, so hard to balance with all those books and trucks barrelling along beside me, so many near death experiences!
    Went to my first spin class last night, it was brilliant. They have uv lighting and stuff so halfway through the class they turn off the lights and turn on the light effects and it's like being in a nightclub! Great laugh, really takes your mind off the horrendous discomfort of the saddle.

    That's odd, mine doesn't do that...maybe go to their help page and see if anything there can help you? Also, can nobody get into the second book yet?

    Thats the worst bit - I know this bit is actually interesting, I'm just at the stage that I don't care about any of it - despite the article on Economics of Obesity actually seeming fairly cool a few months ago when I should have been reading it.... sixty seven pages - couldn't just fit it into bulletpoints no? *sigh*

    Ladies, we can get through these exams.... after the next tea break!

    I hope so! I've actually been sat here for the last 4 hours, making potions on Pottermore. What is wrong with me?? There must be some reason why my brain just won't concentrate :(
