Bored In Class

Breakthrough · June 2005

<div class="IPBDescription">What do you do?</div> I was just wondering... What do you do when you're bored in class? If you don't have school until next year (hurray summer!), then post what you're gonna do, or get some good ideas.

Myself, I like blurting out swears really loudly... When I go back, I'm going to make an inventory of everything in my bag, and see what everyone says when I make a tally of what I have <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Petco · June 2005

I reach into my "Supar Sekrat Gore Gee Bag" and grab some <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /> bacon and devour it. Or I sort of sleep.

MalkavianGirl · June 2005

I play games online, or get caught up on email, or chat with other friends that are in the class... That's what happens when I have a laptop in class.

Omega_Death · June 2005

Sleep (this is a big one in college).
Play an analog version of the MS Paint Game (you know draw a squiggle and have a friend make a picture out of it).
If you hate the teacher write things you hate about them in the margin of your notes.
Have a flask and take a few pulls to make the class more interesting/bareable (Once again this will more than likely only work in college classes, and safely done in auditorum seating).
The usual bring your psp/gba/favorite handheld or labtop to entertain yourself (had a friend that would bring his laptop under the guise of typing notes and would watch a movie/porn, the later got a lot of really funny looks from those sitting behind him).
Stealthy placement of a cd-player/other media player.

But developing these is the best part of doing it, planning out your mischevious use of class time is part of the experience.

Breakthrough · June 2005

I was thinking light a pack of firecrackers up (and possibly throw them out the window or at the teacher).

BulletHead · June 2005

I bring my laptop and play StarFleetCommand games or HL under the guise of taking notes. My excuse for using my headset is that it "Makes random beeps and squeaks to tell me the battery status and I don't want to disrupt the class"

I'm a fast typer, so I shorthand the notes reaaaal quick, then have the rest of the class to goof off

Or, just fart REALLY loud, then stand up and take a bow <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Unlike the rest of you little terrorists, I just continue the adventures of Ace Fighter Pilot MechanicalPencil and the armies of the evil Baron Von Pensalot.

Just last week, Rita Eraser was captured by the dastardly Baron! Luckily, the U.S.S. Notebook was able to launch an all out attack on the Baron's Fortress. After a long and arduous battle, The forces of good eventually triumphed.

Or I just play games on my calculator.

Thansal · June 2005

program games into my TI-83+

I ussed to have thumbnails about 1/2 and inch long, so I drilled holes through em <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

And hangman rocks!

Depot · June 2005

Liku · June 2005

Play around in PictoChat with my friend, or any other DS game we're in the mood for.

Byeka · June 2005

Slept or/and sat it out actually.

UltimaGecko · June 2005

I used to sleep (the ol' "hand on my chin, looking at my notebook/reading/studying, don't bother me, foo'" sleeping technique...I was a master <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />). I managed to sleep every day in advanced Algebra (except test days) for the entire year in high school (which was strange, as it was 4th period, and that's not really a sleeping time). I did it in German and History often, too.

Once you get to college sleeping late can lose a bit of coolness...since you pick your classes you're better off just picking the ones when you're actually awake (never having to wake up before 11 = awesome; except now I work for the summer and I wake up at 4:30...and work until at least 3).

Otherwise:

I break off pieces of notebook spiral or use paper clips/staples to build strange paper clip devices...especially useful if you have rubber bands and pen springs around (go, go gadget paper clip bow and arrow!).

I draw in-depth, detailed pictures on the tops and margins of my notebooks (two of note are a cool looking cave and a WWII battle ground.

Spelling swear words on your calculator never really gets old, either. Especially when it has advanced function keys that can make it easier to spell more advanced words.

JediYoshi · June 2005

Spin my pen and try to look cool.

moultano · June 2005

Take up sketching and try to draw someone in front of you.

Seriously, its a great way to learn. When you suck at drawing, the only way you are going to be able to get someone to sit still and model for you is if they are sitting in a classroom and don't know what you are doing.

If you didn't do all of this in just today I'm going to be eternally disillusioned.

TommyVercetti · June 2005

I'm in high school so my options are severely limited, but I HAVE mastered the art of sleeping with your eyes open without LOOKING like you're sleeping with your eyes open.

Also, now that I've flashed my H320 with the Korean firmware, I should be able to watch Family Guy in US History. God that class is boring...

Swift · June 2005

I think of that hot chick 2 seats ahead of me to the left.... And how my leg is smaller than her arm.

PvtBones · June 2005

I usually daydream, usually about the hot chicks in my classes.

Most of which would be too dirty to show even on HBO, right? I don't think women know how dirty our minds are.

And they never will.

DaJMasta · June 2005

I don't think people will ever admit how dirty the HUMAN mind is.

Maybe freud was more right than we know....

Not that I think about that <i>of course</i>!

And if it's too dirty to show on HBO, show it on FOX.

I guess i just usually look around at nothing, or doodle, not compulsively, but it happens. Most of the time I get bored I start yawning, so I guess i fight the yawning to waste time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Drfuzzy · June 2005

I just sleep, and for some reason I doodle only in math class.

Chrono · June 2005

flirt with the hot chicks in my class
sleep
call my teachers communists
sleep

Ratonetwothreetwoone · June 2005

sit quietly and think to myself how retarded the kid who shouted swears or lit firecrackers is...

Cold_NiTe · June 2005

Well when I'm bored in class I usually talk to someone.

I dunno, maybe I'm just weird like that.

Femme_Fatale · June 2005

I graduated so I could be bored somewhere else ...

I graduated so I could stand up in front of the class and help the students catch up on their sleep <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Best approach is to take something to do quietly: sketch, doodle, write. I got an awful lot of stuff done while a prof was droning on about objects and UML diagrams. He's now my supervisor, so obviously was not too offended by my reading the paper in class.

QFT.

More often than not, I end up designing character costumes, only to find out that they have ALREADY been taken by someone else somehow. Seriously.

And failing that, I fall asleep. Or I write something. The stuff I write don't bear any meaning though.

Not like I have any school anymore. Freeeeedoooom! <span style='color:#041e2d'>Anyone who says teh Freed0mLoaf, shame on you!</span>
