today i was killing time online during a three-hour class that was in its last moments. the class had gotten progressively less interesting over its duration, and as i briefly scanned the room, i could see that i was far from the only one distracting themselves to make it through to the end of the period. the most blatant example of this, however, came from the guy sitting next to me, who had opened ms paint and was drawing random lines that did not in any way form an attempt at a picture. it took all of my willpower not to laugh out loud as i glanced over at his mess of lines that looked like the drawing of a three year old. the only activity i could think of that could possibly have represented a more devastated boredom was if he'd opened up a notepad file and just started mashing the keyboard and typing in random letters.
