Paying attention

I dunno how you people do it, try as hard as I might, I can't pay attention 100%. Maybe it might work if I taped my eyes or used toothpicks to lock them open and let the wind and heat hit my corneas till they look like dried preserved fruits.

I always get bored or feel like doing something else when the teacher's in front talking. It's worse when the mic system doesn't really work and the echo makes the teacher sound like someone talking in your sleep. Sometimes the teachers are tired and their voices sound like monotonous droning(no offense) and I feel my head involuntarily dropping. Then I wake up from my subconcious and try to listen again, but then I will be far off and teacher has already moved on to the next page.

The worse part comes when the teacher calls you for your opinion or to answer a question, worst still the answer's not in the text and it's those "is it true? Explain why." questions. It's embarrasing to not know the answer, and having friends whispering the answer doesn't help, it's perfectly soft enough for you not to hear it but just loud enough for everyone to follow and whisper answers to you. That's the time where the teacher just stares at you in a menacing way.

Teacher: "Well? (still having that look)"
Me: "(I get nervous)"
Friends: "(whispers) monosacharides!! (but in my ear
it sounds like momosegalais)"
Me: "Huh? I can't hear you!"
Friends: "momo-sack-a-rice!!"
Me: "????!!!(looks nervously at teacher then says I dunno)
Teacher: "Hmph....you weren't listening, see that's why I don't like teaching the 4 kenanga class blah blah blah"

Then after that I sit down and asked everyone what was going on, maybe it's me but whenever I ask them my mind says "ugh, what are you doing, that was so embarrasing!!"

Argh, off topic now. Sometimes when I try to listen, THW sometimes talks to me or I talk to him and Lemon then we talk a little too long then we end up asking everyone what's going on. I can't help it, I was too bored.

Sometimes it history class, sometimes it's chinese, sometimes malay, or moral. Ugh, it's not that I don't like the subject(ok sometimes I do), it's just that my attention span is very very low, and the textbooks and tired teachers are not helping. But oh well, classes are like that, in the end we always catch up.

I think. XD
