Whehe.. right now I'm working on a track too.. And I have to get up early tommorrow morning. But! If I finished this year I can go to a dj/producer-school.. (I hope)
I've been "finishing off" my latest track for a couple of weeks now, and I haven't gotten to work before 10:45am any of those days... now i'm just hoping i get sick or something so I can stay home all day!
Rather if something come to ur mind, use a tape recorder to record the melody or rather the idea u had, rec what is in ur mind. when you get home, lsiten back at least it will help u rem what you thought of in sch.
I wish i can left my workplace now to go home and work on my track now.

What you are doing is just plain dumb and irresponsible. Think about it - when you get older, you will have to make a living somehow. Unless you are completely serious about music AND are very very good in it so you can sell it to someone and make a living out of it, go for it. But if it is not the case, don't play with your life. Finish the school, it is not like you spend 10 hours there every day.

When I was in high school I was producing 3 hours a day. It's really easy to combine high school with this hobby. Now I am studying at a University which demands lots of my time, but I allways find some time to work.
I don't believe you can make lots of money as a trance producer so you can better start paying more attention at school

I study jurisprudence at the university, and 99% of my studies happen here at home, with tons of law books, literature and papers on the desk just opposite of my PC. I read from morning to evening, and have developed a great deal of self discipline, so I am actually able to put up the studio composing until I've read all the material planned for that specific day. On the other hand, I'm also able to whenever I want just put the books aside (if neccessary) and just go record a melody or so that I otherwise would forget.

missing a few days of school is no big deal seriously. besdies the point for the most part you could go straight into college without the last 2 years of highschool and be fine. but schools important just not highschool. but just buy a cheap laptop and use it at school to put your melodys downa and ideas and shit you wont eb ablet o ado anyhting great on it but you could work on it here and there and shit

it might not feel like it while in school but believe me when I say this, school is one of the best things youre gonna experience in your life, don't throw that away
besides, to be honest there's not many people today that can live on musicproduction. Be realistic and keep music as a hobby, hell even armin went to school ya know

You gotta weigh the pros and cons:
If you can skip class and get good grades, go for it. (At this point in my education, I'd burn my university to a stinking, smoldering cinder then work on my tunes all day long!)
If you need to work on school, then reward yourself some composing time after the work is done.
Work hard.
Play hard.
Notice which comes first.
Just my thoughts...
