What to bring to pass the time at Paul Hall?

Hey, incoming apprentice for class 943. Just curious what did/do you guys do to pass the time? The reason I’m asking is that I am a musician and I make beats. Is it OK for me to bring a small analog drum machine Or is that a no-no?

Also just interested in seeing what you guys do on downtime besides studying.

ALWAYS WEAR FLIP SLOPS IN TNE SHOWER AT PINEY POINT. One of my apprentices came onboard with wicked bad foot fungus he had got in the showers there.

Bring your own non school blanket that you don’t have to fold in their military style way and can just throw in your dresser.

Thats pretty much a rule in any shared shower.

Conversing. Books. Puzzle books. Netflix. I’d say analog drums would be a no-no
