itt how to keep awake/entertained in a boring class (25)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2007-09-05 23:39 ID:Yadvb+S0

Alright so I have to take Geography 100 for my physical science credit so I can get my degree and my god is it boring. How can I make this class not suck so much?

Luckily there is no lab so it's a matter of keeping my eyes awake at 8am in the morning while learning about latitude and longitude.

tl;dr how do you make classes that are extremely boring more entertaing and/or how do you entertain yourself?

Just take down notes, this works for me as it kinda forces you to pay attention. Hell, might even learn something along the way too.

Fap beneath the desk.

Or alternatively ask questions of the lecturer, trying to feature the word "miaow" as many times as possible. It's the most fun you can have without fapping under your desk.

Once again I manage to creep myself out.

When you're really close to falling asleep, go and rinse your face with cold water, that works to keep me awake for another hour.

Also, bring coffee :V

>>3 I usually do this but this teacher actually emails us the notes for all the questions on the test, lol so he said it wasn't neccessary. He was recommended to me b/c he was easy hence why I'm taking this class.

lol @ fapping under the desk, i couldn't pull that off

miaow, give me an example that relates to physical geography

Lecturer, I have a question for miaow. You miaow tectonic plates? When they miaow-ve what kind of speed do they miaow-ve at? Miaow.

DON'T drink Red Bull if you've got more than one class in a row. After two hours, you'll crash, and be even more sleepy than before.

I get the feeling it would be 10 times cuter if you use "nya" instead of "miaow".

This is in college? Yes?
So you don't actually have to even show up for the class, right?
As long as they have your money and you know the material...

That's geology, not geography.
Miaow.

Proven method: Read the textbook from back to front. Skip the classes. Ace the exam.

Is class attendance mandatory? Read a good novel under the desk, replay LOTR in your mind with you as one of the company, or skip anyway if they don't do a roll call.

Just play DS.

I take notes regardless.

But I still get sleepy so I start drawing Mona in the margins and keep on taking notes.

Daydream. End of story. I was bad at imagining things well at first, but after a while of actually trying to visualize whatever dragon vs. the sphinx vs. the statue of liberty battle I was thinking of, I got pretty good at imagining it and making it entertaining. Then, if I imagine something really cool, I draw it. Or, find the closest girl in class who isn't terribly ugly, and daydream about having sex with her. That always works.

>>10 yeah community college or as some people call it adult day care

unfortunately attendance is mandatory for "participation" and whatnot, you get dropped if you miss x amount of days. the class is fairly small too so the professor can get to know whose here and who isn't

the good thing about college is that you're, as you said, a grown up. the professor won't call your parents. just open a book, if someone bothers you, tell them to shove it.

I play simdates in my head. the downside is that I get this really creepy smile on my face when I do that. people have asked me about it.

Do something active like penspinning with your hands. Be careful not to constantly drop the pen though. A great way to distract yourself and impress other people, especially girls ;)

Think of ways to dispose of a body.

I usually just sketch stuff in the margins of my notebook-- abstract stuff, like patterns and whatnot. It usually does the trick.
