Boredom

So I’m a little lacking in material this week, since it’s Christmas Break. Since we spend half of break being bored and half of break doing dumb things to keep the boredom away (like school, with more sleep!), I figured it might be appropriate to post a list of things IB kids do in class when they get bored.
· Write notes/text message
· Figure out how to pass said notes
· Sanitize our desks
· Sleep!!!!!
· Sit on the floor/Sit on our desks/Sit in our desks, but creatively
· Do homework for other classes. (Physics is very popular.)
· Origami
· Re-organize our purse/backpack/binder/day planner
· Make that phone call and sit on hold for a while
· Ask dumb questions
· Juggle/do handstands/do pushups/etc.
· Read (usually our own books; if we’re desperate, textbooks)
· Grade/pass back papers
· Listen to iPods
· Take very detailed notes on the lecture
· Draw pictures/comic strips/on the chalkboard
· Take photos
· Fill out job/CAS forms
· Fantasize about hacking into the computer system and making the clocks go faster
· Use our calculators to make pretty graphs/play games/figure out every possible scenario that would prevent us from getting an A in the class
· Use the hole-punch/pencil sharpener way too much
· Figure out how many weeks/days/hours left until the next half day/end of the year/graduation
· Come up with ridiculous couples from our class we’d like to see on a blind date
· Plan our schedule for next week/semester/year/the rest of our lives
· Try to predict what’s going to be on the final
· Have panic attacks

I like to make a schedule for my next life, personally. Y'know, start out with something simple early on, like "Remember this life," then work my way up to "Conquer world by age 15."
