Senseless Thinking After gazing out the window to watch the snow, I look at the clock above the chalkboard next to the PA only to discover I still have another 27 minutes of class. No! This can’t be possible I look at my watch and find I have 25 minutes of Physics. How can I deal with this? Notes, notes, notes, thats all I ever do in this class. After count¬ ing ceiling tiles I take out my M Ms and write a note to Sue and Lori (who are all at my table). While waiting for their re¬ plies I decide to decorate my notebook with hearts and cartoons. 18 minutes left. Finally a response from my note, 12 minutes left. I wonder if I will have to shovel snow when I get home? I hope I can get the car to go to the game this weekend. What am I going to wear to the game? I hope I don’t have to work this weekend. I wonder if Celeste asked Bob to Turnabout? How many days until graduation? I have to make a hair appointment after school, 6 minutes left! I wonder if my Religion test was hard. I think I’ll raise my hand and ask a question so it looks like I’m interested and participating. At least it will take up class time. Bzzz! At last! Lunch is here! I don’t know what I would have done if class was any longer! Now I can talk with my friends, or do absolutely nothing. When I have the choice—being bored is a great way to pass the day. I think I’ll raise my hand and ask a question so it looks like I’m interest¬ ed. I hope I don’t get called on—it will blow my cover. V “Peeping Tom” George Galvin steals a peep outside to what seems as a more interesting subject than his class. “Staring out the window, watching the seconds on the clock tick by, and feign¬ ing invisibility—being bored.”
