I was a Freshman in the 2007-2008 school year. In the beginning, the amount of homework was moderate - about 2 to 3 hours every afternoon. Later on, it just consistently began to increase so much - about 8 to 10 hours every afternoon/night. I ended up going to bed on an average of 12 to 1 am, and getting about 6 to 7 hours of sleep every school night. I was not participating in any extracurricular activites at the time, and I was taking normal Freshman classes. This 2008-2009 school year, I will be taking Honors classes, which I am not anticipating because it just sounds like more work and much more stress. I really want to join two of my school's clubs, but I don't think I will since there seems to be no time for any of that.
