I do pathways (obviously, dur signature -__-) so I don't have all my subjects this year. I've got Legal & Pdh'pe, though, and those textbooks are bitches evern without anything else in there.
But of course, i do pathways because of sport. So I've also got two pairs of shoes, long pants, shorts, short & long sleeved tops (usually one or the other) & a jacket. Blast winter making me carry more space-consuming clothes.
And then I've got lunch which is biiiiiig because I get incredibly hungry starting at 6 & finishing at 4:30 most days.
And then the massive, stupid actual workbook. Full of handouts, of course. And then extra novels & diaries and books I actually want to read which're ther most awkward.
I really look forward to Fridays when all I have is Legal & English, and all I need is lunch, workbook, one textbook & novel. Yaaaaaaaaaaay 4kg.
As opposed to the 8-12kg of winter workout-days gear.
God Bless those Fitness First expandable backpacks.
ETA: Oh, and uniform? We're a [public school that likes to think we're private. So I can't even wear my SPORT uniform to school to leseen the burden & keep warm. Stupid winter. Stupid stupid winter making me have more clothes. Gr. We get afternoon detentions & such. Sigh.
