Oh, and you can also read. I read Of Mice and Men and (for the fourth time) The Catcher in the Rye.

I personally love it, and it's considered a "classic" so I suppose a lot of other people think it's great too, but most people my age that I talk to seem to think it's not all that great. I suppose some people think it's depressing.

It also has a bad reputation considering that one murderer seemed to carry it with him all the time.

I suppose I can read, but I'd rather not, especially since this is my first high school field trip.

BTW I'm allowed the bring my laptop, but that won't do any good on the trip.

depends on the battery charge. if you have enough, grab some emulators and go nuts, or learn a programming language or something.

Music really is the best way to pass the time, along with books. I'd pick up some stuff you've never heard/read before and have fun with it.

Well I'm running Ubuntu and it has 1 hour and 45 minutes worth of charge (it's plugged in right now). The round trip will approximately take 3 hours. I could try to learn a new language on the trip, but I don't think my battery will last that long.

You could be clever and make a nice playlist for the road, set your laptop to turn off the screen when it's close but otherwise don't affect hard drive processes, and enjoy twice as much battery life + music

assuming he doesn't already have a portable music player, of course

which is kind of weird these days

I must have missed when he posted that, then.

That's the problem I have with Ubuntu. I can't do any of those things.

But I do have a Sansa Express powerofone; But in all seriousness, I think I might have enough music to last the trip, but knowing myself, I might get bored with it quickly. Then again, I just restocked my MP3 player with new chiptunes.

That's...odd.

But the chiptunes are a good idea. Or just have someone give you a zip of music you've never listened to, and add that. Be adventurous!

Or sleep.  akudood;

At this point, we'll have to see what happens. Unless I can figure out a way to extend my battery's life, I'm not bringing my laptop.
