Oh well, it is worth it to have a professor be a little creepy, but really cool. To me at least.

What are you talking about?

Although I am as depressed as you are about my lunch being switched due to "scheduling errors", you hardly have no classes with anyone.  You have second hour with YS, and maybe onion, and you have fifth with onion, and probably other classes as well.  I only have 6th with YS, but onion and zasuwa are in my *new* lunch hour.

I spent my high school years trying to figure out how to get away with reading books in class.  Never quite perfected that one.  

I'll vote with SE.  Looks like it's time to start writing a novel!

I would draw in class, a lot. It really annoyed some teachers, but I did it anyways. I actually found that it helped me concentrate.

I tried EUOL, but I dont think that I have the focus that is necessary to follow through on it.

I drew.  90% of the time I spent in class, I spent drawing, excluding about the last two or three years.  Most of it was just doodles, and it annoyed my teachers endlessly, but I needed something to do, even while they were talking.  Try taking a book, I've also found that if you sit at the back of the room, quitely, with earplugs *with most of the cord under a jacket* and a cd player, look like you're working... you get the picture.

I taught my self to take notes with my left hand so I could doodle at the same time, this was important cuz there are these jerks who like to s tall class and purposely waste time by trying to get other people in trouble, the when alex would get in truoble for doodliing and say that I was dooing it , I didnt get in  trouble cuz I knew what we were doing and the notes to prove  it. also you can just like run back and forth behind the teachers and like mess with them and things like that.

Last year, I read books on quantum physics in math and english. Both teachers saw me doing so, but said nothing.

   Yeah Brenna not bad. Most teachers I know wouldnt call anyone on that either. What grade were you in?

   I am not good enough at drawing for that to be fun for me really, especially since the only thing that I am good at drawing is guns, and I promised my dad that I wouldnt draw guns in school.

In BOTH contexts of the word?  Poo...

And Outkast, our school REALLY cracks down on the headphone usage, if he were to get caught, which is relatively likely, he wouldn't be getting it back, uh, ever.  Or at least not for a long time...

Yes Gorgon in both meanings of the word, although he probably wasnt thinking of one of them. As to the headphones, not such a good idea, especially until winter when wearing a sweatshirt will be inconspicuous.
