Survive a boring lecture

I can state with certainty that every student has come across a painful phenomenon of a boring lecture where u r so fed up in class that all u can do is fall asleep. Here r a few things u cud do to survive a boring lecture:

1.RAISE your hand to answer when the teacher asks questions in class. When she asks u to answer, point out to someone else and say "He knows!". Point to some new everyday.

2.OFFER to take the roll-call and stop at each name to talk to the person for a while. "Sandra, hey, I hope your aunt is better. I heard she has a fall in the bathroom last night."

3.GET UP from your seat and start an argument with the person across the room because he is in your seat. You are not comfortable in any other seat as u have a rather sensitive back.

4.CONTEST everything the prof says and supply undeniable scientific evidence that u r correct. You have to be correct since your father, uncle, grand-father and great-grand-father were all married to great scientists.

5.EXPRESS concern every time your teacher mispronounces or makes a mistake and correct him.

6.CONVINCE everyone in your row to get up and sit down when your prof mentions a particular word like "so" or "basically" or "thus"

7.READ your book and share the event with everyone in the class from time to time. "No Beth, how can u die. NO!"

8.RECORD the college bell and play it every 15 mins.

9.USE a blow-horn if u want to ask a question.

10.ANNOY your professor by faking nature calls. Run out every now and then. You will piss the shit out of him!

So here u go, a few (albeit daring) ways to make those boring lectures a lot more interesting. Self-study! You don't have to listen to someone's long-winded baloney especially if he doesn't have a gun to your head, eh?
