More pointless rants from Alyssa.

 

Anyway, I was sitting in class today, drawing something while a teacher was lecturing, and she got mad at me, told me to put my stuff away and give her my undivided attention.

 

I was once told that doodling and drawing (not drawing where you have to think--y'know, with the light sources and how light reflects against certain objects 'n such... that's for... art students) uses a different part of your brain than your ears, so, you could draw and listen at the same time. For me, that's very easy. :D Talking, on the other hand, or studying for another subject, or writing a paper will require most of your attention/concentration so that's unacceptable during a lecture.

 

Of course I wouldn't say that to the teacher... so I just put it away.

 

When I'm asked to put my drawings away, I get bored with the lecture and fall asleep... I can't give my full attention if it's not all needed--my senses get bored. If you're drawing while listening to a lecture, you get to entertain half of your brain while the other is listening to the teacher--lectures are my best friends if I can draw during the class. I'm an audiotory learner so everything said pretty much sticks to my brain.

 

So, undivided attention is overrated... in my case, heh.

 

Why I made a topic about this? I have no clue!

i can give my attention to the teacher while doing something else, but sometimes if the lesson is boring i cant concentrate and i fall asleep just like you do....it happens

Hehe I fell asleep yesterday in Geography! It's hard to pay attention for me in maths but I usually doodle in disguise...

hahaha.

 

i always doodle during maths. its really simple because im repeating the maths subject, and so i do absolutely no homework and are ahead of the class by like a lesson in the handout booklet and still do well on tests. i better stop doodling and start working in maths!

in school i was always doing other things while i was in class, because i get bored really easily.

Like i would decorate all the papers i got and my notebook

and if i looked all my old notbooks half the pages are filled with doodles and all sorts of crap, and lyrics to songs, and on many pages "IM BORED" is written in big bold letters. Oh, and many many countdowns till the end of class

 

and the system here sucks so bad, that many times i would just get out in the middle of class and not come back till the end of the hour. And most of the teachers didnt even notice because we were in big classes of 40.

And like in the middle of the hour only like half the class would actually be inside.

 

i think im actually gonna miss school abit

hell yeah, Alyssa, you're right!

i remember that one day i had French class...

god, it was so fucking boring and each time it gets boring i start writing down random lyrics of random songs.

so that's what i was doing until my teacher yelled:"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GRACE?!?!?"

i was shocked because she seemed REALLY pissed.

however... i said:"i'm writing down or homework tasks."

and then she was... quiet.

stupid teachers.

i did stop writing down lyrics though.

my teachers never noticed i wasnt doing too much all the time

 

maybe they did, but they just didnt care :P

I used to draw and doodle all the time in French and Biology.Those classes would drag on FOREVER- time seemed to STOP! But I wouldn't listen to anything the teacher would say and I would just zone out :stunned: . And I use to hate it when the teacher would call on me. Well, luckily, I could get away with only saying "oui" in french class...hehehe.

as SOON as any math teacher i've ever had opens their mouth, i start daydreaming. i am not even kidding you, i cannot pay attention when a math teacher starts talking. it is ridiculous! but whatever, math is some boring ass shit.

^^Shit yeah...that is why i failed it..:lol:

Heh... I'm EXACTLY the same way. I need to draw to pay attention, because if I look at the teacher, my ADD kicks in and my mind starts to wander. It kind of freaked out some teachers in highschool, though in many classes we took so many notes that writing worked just as well.

 

Thankfully in college most profs don't notice when I draw. It's funny to look at my notebooks from classes with lots of lecturing but few notes... I've hardly written anything but there are pages and pages of doodles.

actually, in maths i was always concentrated because it was a subject that required alot of concentration. My teacher loved me for it :) He gave me 100 in the end of the year grades.

 

but the subjects that u just sit through the lessons and you're wondering "WTF?? Why do i have to know this?? What the fuck is that teacher saying??" and like 5 minutes of no concentration later im completly lost

always always always happenned to me in literature class when we analysed stories/poems/books etc. The teacher would talk forever about the characters inner soul as apposed to the discreption of his extiriour to the way he holds his wife's hand!!! And i would always stare at her not understanding what her point is

 

my notebook was filled with math problems cause i always did my maths homework in that class. And with many many drawings. One of harry potter comes to mind...
