Anywhere from 2-8 inches. Might get nasty. It's supposed to start around 3 am.

9. It's my day off.
I worked last weekend so I have this as a scheduled day off. I had some plans but it looks like they are about to be cancelled.

5. There are 3 text books and a tool kit with one of my
classes, not to mention the English teacher that demands we use a special notebook only for his class complete with all sorts of accessories. About the 16 hours, is that actual hours or credit hours? Actual hours, yowza. Credit hours, that's how many I have this semester. My back has been hurting since last Thursday night. I can sympathize with you.

7. well it breaks do like this..
16 credit, which means 16 hours a week. They say you need 2 hours of study for ever hour of class a week. So That means 16x2=32 hours of school work a week.Plus I work 22.5 hours a week. That is 54.5 hours out of my week given to things outside the house.
There is 168 hours in a 7 day week. Leaving Me with 113.5 hours. Take away recommended sleep time, 57.5 a week to clean my apartment, shop for food, and all those other darn things a person needs to do.

Please cheek my math! I pray I have more me time than that!

10. I'm not sure how to break my new schedule down, but here goes...
English, 3 hours a week, but I only get credit for 2.
Math, 3 hours a week and I get the full credit of 3.
Computer Upgrade/Repair, 7 hours a week, but I only get credit for 3.
Physics, 6 hours a week, but I only get credit for 4.
Intro to Semiconductors, 6 hours a week, but I only get credit for 4.

25 hours a week in school, plus 7 hours per week for commute time. I'm not sure about the rest. I'm all mathed out now. :shrug:
