When you ask a 17 year old kid to fill up your Roo Cup at the gas station during his lunch/free period and he brings you back a cup that is 95% ice and 5% soda.

I won't forget this.

The idea of being able to leave school during a free period is still completely foreign to me.

It wasn't allowed when I was in high school. 

Here we have a security booth at the entrance/exit of the student parking lot.  The only students that can leave before 2PM have different colored parking passes.  SRO checks the backseats (sometimes), I think he's mostly lazy though and just lets the kids do whatever.

We used to tell our Art teacher that we needed to go to the mall for art supplies......we'd head to the arcade instead.

There wasn't even anything to do near my high school. I guess we could have played Human Frogger on Queens Boulevard.

Sometimes my cats want to the do figure-eight around my legs when I'm on the toilet. I don't mind.

As long as she's not licking your balls, I'm ok with this.

If I leave my door open, both of my dogs will lie down in the doorway and stare at me the entire time. It's rather amusing that they find my deuces interesting enough to watch....or smell.

I loved my school for this. Completely open campus policy from 11 years old on in Manhattan was incredible.

The downside of going to private school. I caught the wrath of an angry nun if I ever tried to leave campus.

You didn't get any free periods by senior year? I never got the feeling that it was a relatively new concept.

If I had first or last period free I could come in late or leave early (unless I had track practice) but any middle of the day free periods had to be spent in the building (library, cafeteria, the joke of a "senior lounge").

Pfft, I got the benefits of a private school too - no riffraff, no regents, no public school curriculum. And I think we got free periods as early as seventh grade.

We didn't have free periods.  Unless you count falling asleep in class.

We called free periods "spares".

Seven required classes 9 through 12.  No free periods.  Off campus permits were tough to come by, but we stole readmits by the stack from the office.  Used to go smoke weed in my friend's Vanagon during classes we didn't want to go to and then just use the readmit the next day to get back into class.  It was a weird system.  The best was that there were two lunch periods, though.  As a freshman, we used to pretend to not know which lunch we had (we had a rotating schedule) so we could be late to any classes that were on 2nd lunch.  Our Spanish teacher never caught on.  He was a pushover, though.  We locked him out of class once and threw all of his stuff from the walls out the window.  It was a third story classroom.  In hindsight, that was probably too far.
