When I'm supposed to be paying attention, generally I'm not paying attention.

I'd like to continue regular installments of my "stuff falling on mark" series. Unfortunately I can't today because I cbf turning up to philosophy.

look at the roof

I agree. If I were a lecturer I would take an air rifle and shoot people who talked during my lectures. It's so fucking rude and I'm sure it's much more pleasant outside in the sunshine instead of behind/beside/in front of me. If all you're going to do is talk, why even bother going in the first place. You're not going to learn anything. Fuckwits. It's always funny when it dawns on the offenders after about twenty minutes that the lecture has commenced and they say some dumb shit like, "What's (insert approproiately stupid comment pertaining entirely to what was covered in the last 20 minutes of the lecture whilst the fucker was too god-damn rude to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!)? Fortunately, the majority of these people have either failed or dropped out of uni by third year. It's a hard slog through lectures before then though.

I actually did that in the HSC (doodled on my paper). Whenever I had to think I’d start drawing in the margins, or highlighting the cover pages. I did this in the trials as well and one of my teachers was like “don’t do that- they’ll mark you down because they will think you were bored and had nothing to say”. In one of my trial exams I also lapsed into a long and involved daydream. I was sitting there and staring ahead unblinkingly for like 5 minutes- I had to forcibly snap myself out of it. I must have really unsettled the people around me.

actually i was saying it 'cos her handwriting is just a scrawl!

 

[Minai]

honestly, If im bored I think about sex, or what I want to do after the lecture, or how much I'm gonna have to cram what's being taught now for finals..

 

[golfstick]

yeah I play 'who would i like to root'

quite self explanatory really

 

[*~Dazed~*]

-colour in my margins (note: not DRAW, i cant draw) in a checkerbox
-look at the ceiling (anyone who knows c5c lecture rooms at mac will understand why)
-look around thinking, why the fuck do i have to be doing something which is 99% female
-think about whether i should leave 20 minutes early to make the bus which takes me straight home
-choose a person in the room and concoct a story about their day/life
-sms

Provided I actually turn up (which is very rarely), I do what I'm supposed to do take notes etc, though without really paying attention.
When I'm bored of that I figure its time to leave.
Though in Chem I sit so far back (beause I'm always late), so I can barely hear what the lecturer is saying, thats when a sleep for a bit then leave during her smoke breaks..

You just described me so well there! The thing is, I hate it so much when other people are talking when I am trying to listen. Most of the time you can't help it though because it is other people that start talking to you.

I wonder why this happens then, "Location: oh God I'm failing "?
