It’s the last day of school for Seattle Public Schools today, so expect to see a lot more kids out and about as they start their summer holidays. The last day was supposed to be on Friday, June 23, but was changed to today due to a snow day on February 6.
The 2017-2018 school year starts on September 6. There will be a few changes to the school hours next year; every Wednesday, students will be let out 75 minutes early, and all other days, school will be 20 minutes longer.

When I was in school, I always looked forward to this day. You can say that it was my second birthday for me. The same thing happened to me at university. In general, I don’t like studying, I often ask to write my research paper, you can read more about it if you are interested. I understand that this is laziness, but I have no motivation. I don’t see the point in doing it myself. In the summer I signed up for courses and here I do everything myself. Since programming courses and I understand that they will help me in the future when I get a job.
