gollark: Now, I hackerized your timetable with my 1337 sk1llz, and you have maths - probably not much ability to do work there - physics, during which you may be able to do some depending on whether Dr Houchin does anything, more maths, lunch, which is actually very long for you so you do in fact have a while, and then also maths, then computer science, which is when it's due.
gollark: You can just work on it during lessons.
gollark: Oh, I forgot you're not in school, you'll be fine then.
