What do you do when you're bored in lessons?

I get up to a lot of stupid things.
What about you guys?

Back at school I would just doodle at the back of my school planner.

I realise that I'm Asian and can't afford to get bored.
Eat sweets :u: I used to keep a stash in my pocket.

Doodle pictures of people I hated in the class and show them to my friends.

Sometimes fly the odd aeroplane or two and blame it on some bully :dontknow:

In Chemistry lessons me and my friend used to either talk about random stuff, play 'baseball' (i.e. used a ruler to try to whack shards of another broken ruler at the clock), continue carving through the desk with scissors, chuck balls of paper back and forth at other people in the class or, in practicals, get every single chemical in the cupboard and mix them together, topping it off with a sh*t tonne of universal indicator.

Yes, we were that bored. There are a lot of things to do if you're bored enough. Not so easy if you're sitting with someone you don't know though. In my last year of school though I cared so little about my other subjects that I spent every Physics lesson working on random maths problems I found online, which was fun for me but maybe not so much for non-mathematicians.
think dirty things :h:
Read ahead in the textbook
Draw penises on the desks and other people's folders.

Well this was at GCSE... I assume you mean at GCSE? I took Maths, English, the sciences, Spanish, History, Business Studies (lol) Latin.
Yeah I wasn't joking when I said I didn't pay any attention in lessons and just crammed it all last minute. Every single predicted grade was wrong lol. Can't blame them - did terribly in mocks because they weren't close enough to the exams.
think about life, go on my phone, talk to people

So lucky. I can't cram to save my life, just end up failing. Business sounds boring what about at A-Level, what did you take?

This except in my friends excercise book instead of folder although I might have done that too.

Also I made what I thought then were hilarious edits to the books The Cay (guess what I renamed that to) and Of Mice and Men.

Chem at AS, Physics and M/FM for the full A Level.

Oh ok. How did you find them?
I zone out, and then realise after about 10 minutes that I've been staring at a bin or something for the entire time.

Way easier than GCSE, that's for sure. Especially M/FM of course. So I spent most of Year 13 almost exclusively preparing for an admissions test. Year 12 though I still had to try hard because I needed very high UMS in everything. Didn't matter in the end though.

Ahh quality! It was also obligatory to brand the inside cover of every Mice and Men copy with 'George shoots Lennie', too.
