Sometimes I get bored in class (imagine that), so I do things to entertain myself. My number one strategy is to try and fall asleep. This often works, but sometimes the professors get annoyed, or I might miss valuable test information. This is what I typically look like from my laptop's perspective.
Too bad we don't actually have class on couches. |
If sleeping and surfing the internet isn't an option, or I need to be more attentive, I have to resort to weird/creepy things.
Sometimes I stare at the back of students' heads and try to picture what their faces look like. Sadly, they're never as attractive as I hoped.
Or sometimes I let my thoughts drift and once again start staring at the students around me. I try to figure out what kind of person they are outside of the classroom. It's pretty easy to pick out the players, (the mormon version of course) and the molly mormons. I probably shouldn't be judging people so much, but what else am I gonna do?
Don't say listen to my professor.
So a couple of days ago I was the last person in my linguistics class to sign the attendance sheet. Since I was last, I held onto it and gave it to my professor at the end of class. After a few minutes I got bored and started to study the students' names. Of course there were a few girls named Ashley, and four named Emily, but just because BYU isn't a very diverse school doesn't mean there aren't some unique names. My class has a Vasilisa, Olimpia, and Sabra. There also is a girl named Miriam. Poor thing. There weren't many weird last names, but I think Tata and Inoue fit the bill.
Today during one of my long sociology classes I found a different way to entertain myself. Instead of creepily writing down my classmates' names, I looked through their itunes library. You can tell a lot about a person from their music selection, and I could definitely figure most of my suspects were mormon girls. Lots of Celine Dion, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and David Archuleta. You can see the peoples' names or user names on the side, so that helped too....
