Things you do when boredom strikes in class/during a lecture.
I just space out, and think about other stuff. The only thing that brings me out of it is the teacher calling on me, or me think that they called on me, then realizing that I spaced out.
Download Shatter for the PC, it is addicting to play in class but you don't get to listen to the awesome music.
I usually just zone out. Sometimes I doodle on my notebook or just write down the random thoughts in my head. It makes for an interesting notebook page when I'm finished and can't remember why some things are there.
I make weird eye contact with my classmates or surf the web on my phone. There's only one class I take where there are computers in front of us, that's when I go on YouTube and look at montages or play First Person Tetris. Now that I have been accepted as a Game Design student at a "Høyskole" (tertiary education institution in Norway) that does not require anything more than the completion of the secondary education (in other words, I only need to pass and attend classes for a couple more months), I really do not pay attention anymore.
Doodle, make a paper-doll zombie, daydream.
(Pro tip: Build up a horde of paper zombie for moments of extreme group boredom.)
In a class I will participate actively and try to steer the conversation towards controversial topics. It usually works. Many teachers are money grubbing slouches, and rarely get a chance to prove their mental prowess. They will jump if given the opportunity.
sleep or look at some chick's awesome rockin' cleavage...........until she looks up and almost spots me staring. that's what i did when i was going to college 7 years ago for a degree in atmospheric science.
" Wank. What? Seriously? I daydream. "DAMNIT
3 pages and someone finally beat me to it.
I thought I had that one...damn you sir, DAMN YOOOOOU
I'm saying it anyway:
Masturbate.
" I just space out, and think about other stuff. The only thing that brings me out of it is the teacher calling on me, or me think that they called on me, then realizing that I spaced out. "Pretty much this. I'm not in college yet so it's very uncommon for us to have laptops during class. If I'm in a computer class I'll just browse google news while I get lectured on business ethics.
Draw, draw, and draw some more. Through all of my education drawing has been my weapon of choice against the greatest foe... boredom.
