The Worst

Tuesdays and Thursdays are the worst. They're the worst days of the week and at this point in my life they're the worst anything at all. They don't even deserve capital letters. I wake up at 7:30 and I'm in class until 1. NON STOP. I sit and listen to people talk for that long and it gets even more boring every time. The funny part about it is that it's only the second day of these tuesday and thursday classes (no more capitals for them, I don't like them enough for that).
I think the problem is that I can't sit still and when I say I can't sit still I really mean I can't sit still, no exaggerations. I'm the guy in the back of the room that keeps moving around and tapping his legs and stretching his arms and making the desk squeak. I'm the guy who starts putting my things away 2 minutes before class is over so the second the clock hits that magical time when I can finally leave I can literally run out of class. I spend more time watching the clock and counting down the time than I actually do listening to whatever my professor is lecturing about. Sitting in little desks for an hour and 15 minutes is the most annoying thing in the world and tuesdays and thursdays bring out the worst in my restlessness. Not only do I have trouble sitting still for any long duration of time, but I'm a huge day dreamer. My mind wanders away giving me the attention span as good as a goldfish. I know some people reading this may be thinking something along the lines of "this guy must have ADD" and although I've never been diagnosed I wouldn't disagree with you.
I'll make it through the semester because the classes aren't all that bad and I've actaully been able to sit at a computer and type a little during my writing class which helps me release some energy, but I'm gonna have to figure out some way to deal with the fact that most of the time I just want to get up and run around the class room becasue sitting still for so long makes me go nuts.

Tuesday's and Thursdays definitely do suck. You wouldn't think that the extra 25 minutes would make that big of a difference, but I can't deal with it at all. I'm in class from 10-4, and when the day is finished, it feels great. Sadly, we're only a week in to this horrible barrage of 75 minute classes.

I hear ya...tuesdays and thursday do suck. I think it's those hour and fifteen minute classes. Fifty minute classes seem to go by so much faster. I have 3 classes on tuesday and thursday...bad idea.

You also have to love those 7-9:30 night classes, where you sometimes get a little break -- but it's such a tease. I find that I have boundless extra energy while I sit in class, but when it's all over, I'm tired from doing...nothing.

This entire week has dragged..which makes me nervous about getting through the rest of the semester! I definantly agree that tuesdays and thursdays are the worst the longer classes ruin the day.

tuesdays and thursdays are the worst for sure. classes over an hour are not cool at all
