Thursday Night's Alright For Not Learning Anything

Thursday nights almost guarantee a post. Thursday nights find me sitting in the back of a classroom full of people who I'm sure also don't want to be taking Biology. Tonight we're learning about photosynthesis and I have a pulled muscle in my back that's making it difficult to breathe enough to annoy me, but not enough to skip class for. (I can only miss this class twice and I plan on making both times worthwhile.)

At two hours and forty minutes, this is without a doubt my most difficult class to sit through, but so far, our assignments and quizzes have not enticed me to pay any attention whatsoever. We usually spend the last hour or so in the lab. The remaining hour and forty minutes usually gets broken down as follows:
35% Writing Haikus and doodling on the powerpoint notes conveniently provided
30% Staring towards the front, expressionless
15% Planning the ideal music festival
10% Watching Bigg Dawg play Age of Empires II or Civilization III or whatever it is he's playing on his laptop
9% Wishing I had brought a book
1% Paying attention

At least I manage to stay productive for 50% of the time.

Oh, and by the way, tonight's ideal music festival would be an all day event at Verizon Wireless Music Center co-headlined by Sigur Ros and Radiohead featuring performances by The Arcade Fire, The Flaming Lips, Everything, Now!, Placebo, Doves, VHS or Beta, Beck, The Cold War Kids, as well as solo sets by Sarah Asher, Chad Serhal, and Jeff Tweedy.

Enjoy your rabbit.
