Plenty of time? No, not the school I go to. What I do have is the syslab, which is full of Linux boxen and a lot of smart people, especially during lunch. Attached to the syslab is a small library (formerly storage closet) of programming-related books, which contains, among other things, multiple copies of ANSI Common Lisp by Paul Graham.

It's a fun high school.

Sounds like paradise. Where's it at (which state)? Also, is it private?

Virginia, and no, it's a public high school. There's no tuition, although you do have to pass a test to get in.
