I think there was an earth science block where we learned about storm clouds and stuff. They would usually be a few months long and then you move onto the next science block

I didn't finish HS but did like 50% of it before dropping out at age 17 to work full time. The stole this book from my last school before I left, we were supposed to do a month long study of it but I read the entire book in one sitting and said "imma head out"
The book is set in 1971 and discusses the authorโs life behind bars. Before prison, Gantos dreamed of becoming a writer and was inspired by William S. Burroughs, who used drugs to get through his life as a writer. After dropping out of university in Saint Croix, Gantos began using hashish and later joined the sail team. There, he became friends with two other men named Hamilton and Rik, the latter of whom promised Gantos $10,000 to sail with him from the Virgin Islands to New York City to sell hash. Gantos accepted the offer and, upon arriving to New York and settling into a hotel, he and his friends were captured by the FBI. Gantos and his co-conspirators all received prison sentences that varied in length from 5 to 20 years for drug trafficking. Gantos was originally sentenced to five years, but was released on good behavior after only serving 15 months of his sentence. While in prison, he worked as an X-ray technician and wrote his thoughts in a journal on a copy of The Brothers Karamazov. Before leaving prison, Gantos applied to a university creative writing program, and he would later begin a new life by selling Christmas trees.
