Class is boring! What do you do?

Um, I never really sleep or get bored in class but if I do I make smilies~:)
Class isn't really boring or hard seeing as I'm only in 5th grade~
 
I often find myself dosing off, I struggle to keep myself awake in class sometimes. When this happens, I start to draw in my school books (and I've been caught before XD), though I manage to hang on in there until the next ring of the bell where I can wake up fully. :3
 
When I'm bored in class, I usually doodle or read story books. If I'm REALLY sleepy, which means I didn't get enough sleep, I usually fall prey to the sleep monster. I rarely get busted though, not because I'm in the back of the class, but I usually finish my work before I sleep. The teachers have nothing to complain about that. Sometimes, I also do it in exams. Haha.
 
Mathematics class occupies me enough to keep me from sleeping. Same with a few other subjects. But there are some periods, I feel really sleepy ..when the teacher is giving boring lectures. I know I should be listening and all, but I just can't help it. It's even worse if I've stayed up late the previous day. I do headbangs in slow motion. no. seriously. But I try to keep myself from sleeping by doodling on rough paper, or just jotting something down. Then I just put my head down on the desk after I hear the sacred bell of relief.
 
Well sweeties this is what I did when I was in school and now college. XD

Elementary School : Game Boy
Middle School: Game Boy Color/Advance
High School: Game Boy Advance/DS
College: Game Boy and DS/DSi

Handheld video games, the greatest milestone for mankind, and a great cure for boredom. XD
 
In elementary and middle school, I used to talk a lot in class and throw stuff at the teacher to get me to leave the class. In high school, I literally always slept; the teachers wouldn't bother me; I was smart, so yeah. Now, in college, I don't feel the need to sleep in the class, maybe only in history and philosophy courses. (:
 
I usually do my homework in class, if at all possible. I can usually figure out things faster and easier than my teachers can explain them. Either that, or I just sit and look like I'm paying attention, so I don't get called on. (because I hate being called on. :c)
 
There were times when I had to fight going to sleep in class. What I do is rub my temples or ask the teacher if I can use the bathroom to help wake me up.
 
WELL. Elementary and middle school, I would draw, imagine things, or spontaneously burst into "My Heart Will Go On." High school, I would either play my DS, draw, write poems (lol), write a note to my significant other, or stare at the wall and imagine Mario running along the cracks in the wall. In college...I'd get on PC or...stare at the wall. Again. lol I'm probably one of the few people that didn't text in class. I never did that, because I didn't (and still don't!) have unlimited texting.
 
Well I'm a senior in AP classes, where the teachers are super chill and laid back. My calc teacher, for example, doesn't care if I blatantly text during notes. So yeah, I usually end up doing lots of random stuff in class.

Of course, there are times where I'm deathly tired and I have to fight off my drowsiness, but I just try to keep myself busy if that's the case.

I'm the exact opposite, I love paying attention in my history/philosophy courses!

I've been the same way through elementary school to now (college), I draw ALL over my notes. it's okay though because then I have to re-write my notes so they're organized and by writing them again I memorize the material more. especially in math, oh man :( sometimes if the class is THAT bad, i'll bring a book. I did that in my business law class last semester and my math class this semester.
 
Well Australian school students get given free laptops, and I just watch movies on them or play COD or PvZ :P I'm such a rebel.
 
In a few specific classes, I fight sleep. In most classes, I'm kept busy with noticing the madness going around the class, the jokes cracked, and all that. In most classes with long lectures, I start drawing random things on the sides of the pages.

Sometimes, when I'm bored of the idea of class, I skip it in total...
Yeah, I'm doomed to be an underachiever for life for this, but it can't be helped. I hate studying so much, I can't help it.
 
Generally, I end up doodling anything and everything. Even if it's an object in the room, I'll doodle it whilst writing down necessary information for the class that I've either been told or think I will need to write down. Recently in Science my bestfriend and I have been passing messages but if he's not there it's doodle or gazing around the room boredly all the way!
 
I draw a lot. Either that, or sleep when I'm done with my work or when there's a review. =|
 
In my Elementary and middle school years, it was all about passing notes. The era of texting didn't come till on my freshman year of high school. I used to text sooo much in class, even the teachers didn't notice! That's basically what I do when class gets really boring. lol
