I kind of miss elementary and high school too (no middle school/junior high in our country's school system), namely because of my friends. I had friends in elementary who transferred to other schools when we were about to start high school. Then, my other friends and I went to different colleges/universities after high school. I still feel a closer connection to my high school friends compared to any of my college/uni friends. I wonder how they are faring currently.

how do you manage your time?

With great difficulty. I work for a news bureau from 8am-5pm and then back to work at my other job at the magazine from 6pm to about 4am. on saturday i work from 8am-5pm at the news office and i just landed a new job teaching english for two junior high students on sunday. the kind of money i got from two jobs is great, but i got only like 4 or 5 hrs of sleep everyday (i occasionally sleep during the night shift. ) and that makes me missed a lot of manga & comics downloads. and another thing i miss is going on dates with my girlfriend. but i haven't recieve any complain from her about my two jobs, i still call or send her text message every now and then during work and sometimes i surprised her by showing up at her place with breakfast so i can give her a ride to work.
It's great to see that the forum is so alive here, i miss you guys!

I missed you too, ichi It seems your girlfriend understands your situation since you said that she isn't complaining. That's good.

Only 4 or 5 hours of sleep per day is impressive, I need 7/8 hours of sleep per day.

 

[LadyHatake]

I get like...5 hours of sleep per night, at the most. Sometimes only 2 ^^;; I toss and turn quite a bit. My mind doesn't ever seem to want to shut off >.>

Thanks, Ayah. The reason she's not complaining is because she got tons to do at her workplace too.

Impressive as it may seem, my doctor said it's not bad for your health to sleep less than 7/8 hrs a day. Even catching up on your sleep wont do any good. But, for the time bein, i'm just gonna keep at it.

Don't worry everyone, sleep is for the weak anyway!

Sleep when you're dead!

Then, you don't sleep at all

 

[Venom65437]

Pretty much!

 

[rabb]

perhaps, but (as far as we can tell) you dont wake up to an annoying buzzer in your ear, either. unless you were buried alive by some psychopath who likes clocks. who come mh has some many discussion threads?

 

[LadyHatake]

who come mh has some many discussion threads?

Well, the discussion threads gives members a chance to get to know one another. MH is a community, and the discussion threads give people a place to talk about things other than manga, fostering friendships and such ^^ That's why I love MH <3

Great to see you still around too, ichi. I wonder if I'm going to end up in your situation soon - yikes! (Planning to teach, but probably will still photograph also. Not sure how that kind of schedule will affect my activity here at MH. Oh well, that's a couple of years down the line, anyway, I think.)

Heh, Venom, I remember you wimping out on one of our conversations to go to sleep...

 

[Venom65437]

Well, when you have to go to class the next day you have to go to bed at some point.

Not because I don't want to fall asleep in class... I don't want to fall asleep while driving. Haha.

 

[Gold Knight]

So you'd be too weak to even go out of the house.

You just sound more "strong" by the minute, Josh! I'm impressed! Seriously...

 

[Venom65437]

Want to see which way the beach is?

 

[Gold Knight]

Heh, my one near-car crash that I ever caused myself was when I hadn't slept in 24 hours actually.

It was last spring and I was heading home from the grocery store (my mom forced me to go) and the light turned green and I was turning left. I forgot that there were cars in front of me though also coming through, so forgot that I needed to let them pass first. I nearly crashed into the first car, but managed to slow down enough that it missed me, and the second car came to enough of a stop that I could go by. I'm sure he/she was very angry at me though... >.>

And that was when I had just bought my new jeep too... nearly ruined it within two weeks!

That probably would have ruined my year... assuming I had lived to see it!

But that was the only time I've ever nearly caused a traffic accident... so I definitely don't recommend anyone trying to drive when they're running low on sleep.

,oO Please don't ever do that again. Ever. <3

Sometimes I zone out and don't realize that the person in front of me has slowed/stopped, but I don't drive that fast anyways, so I've always been able to stop *knocks on wood* My parents would slaughter me if I got into an accident. (Well, caused one, anways. not to mention that my insurance would skyrocket ><)
