1. Okay, time to get to work.
2. I’m here, so I might as well pay attention.
3. I’m going to take such good notes!
4. Hey, this is actually kind of interesting.
5. Maybe I wrote this class off too soon?
6. I’m nodding along and taking notes, but I have no clue what the professor is saying.
7. Seriously, what is she even talking about?
8. Okay, c’mon, focus!
9. I take back what I thought before. This class is ridiculously boring.
10. You know, it’s been a while since I’ve checked bCourses … might as well do that now.
11. Oh, schedules for next term are up! I’m going to start planning that!
12. This looks like such a nice schedule.
13. Better make sure I’m following all my major requirements.
14. Okay, now what can I do? I guess I could pay attention.
15. No, I really can’t pay attention.
16. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t fall asleep …
17. I could really use a cup of coffee right now. Or food.
18. Do I have a paper due this week?
19. I guess I should start working on that.
20. Okay, I got the introduction written! Go me! Productivity!
21. I can’t do anything else without a book I forgot at home. So much for productivity.
22. Why did I even come to this class?
23. Oh right, iClicker attendance.
24. I guess I could check bCourses again.
25. Wow, nothing on bCourses has changed in the past 20 minutes.
26. I wonder if anyone’s doing anything interesting on Facebook.
27. They’re dating now? What?
28. Why would you post that picture?
29. Wait, it’s my friend’s birthday next week?
30. I guess I should probably get her a present.
31. How much money am I willing to spend?
32. To Amazon!
33. My friend would like this, right?
34. Oh, I like that. It’s only $20.
35. Oh, it’s Prime, too. I might as well buy it.
36. I hope nobody noticed that I just bought something on Amazon instead of taking notes.
37. Wait … people who bought this also liked what?
38. That looks amazing, too.
39. I can afford this, right?
40. I should probably check my bank account.
41. I really need to check this more often.
42. I cannot afford that.
43. I should probably get a job. I should check Callisto for some on-campus opportunities.
44. I’m so unqualified for any of these jobs.
45. What was I doing on my laptop again?
46. Oh right, I’m supposed to be taking notes.
47. I’ll pay attention to this part.
48. Wait, the professor is done talking?
49. I can go?
50. Wow, that lecture flew by so fast. Or did it?
