Today, I keep zoning out in every one of my classes. It's bad. I can see why insomnia is bad. Fun at the time, not fun the next day. But I'm being productive. Just not paying attention in class. Yet I'm still the one talking the most. So my teacher has told me not to answer this question. Awkward silence ensues and I still answer the question. Oh Linguistics class and my four quiet classmates who just don't care or pay very close attention. Or maybe they just don't know as many random facts as I do. Or weren't very interested in history as children. Whatever reason, I can still check facebook, blog, and fill out class evaluations and still pay attention.

Hahaha, Hannah...love you. This strikes me as the type of situation you would get into.
ReplyDeleteClass evaluations are funny. My English class all took them pretty seriously; nobody in my math class did besides me and this guy named James, who scrawled over all the comment form on the back and wouldn't tell anybody what he said.
I get bored in every class. It's not because I answer all the questions though....
ReplyDeleteI HATE class evaluations. You have to fill out what class it is, what the number of the class is, all of it. I'd really rather not do it.
I totally feel you on the insomnia thing. I do that quite frequently, actually, and it causes me to make mistakes at work because I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing (a bad recipe for performing data entry).
ReplyDeleteI find that in most of my classes, classmates have a mindset of "I'm not saying anything unless the teacher specifically calls on me by name." and even then, sometimes they don't give an answer. I think they do want to give the wrong answer and sound dumb.
