Hellooo!
I'm finally finished school for the year!! Yayy!! I have nothing much to do with my time except blog, eat, sleep, work, become morbidly obese and cry.
Yeah, I was joking about the last two.

Yeah, I was joking about the last two.
A few weeks ago, I was sitting in a lesson of some description and a couple of my classmates found a rather amazing list of things to do in class when you're bored. It was rather entertaining to watch this one guy actually do half the things on the list. I've decided to shortlist the most brilliant things into a top ten that should keep you from being bored- until you get sick of them, anyway.
And away we go!
1. Ask your teacher if you can go to get a drink/go to your locker- it doesn't matter, just find some excuse to leave the classroom. On your way out, walk into the door. This is one of the ones we did and it was so ridiculous and over-the-top it was hilarious! You should've seen the looks he got from one teacher!! Extra points if the doors of your classroom aren't even made of glass.

2. Write a love letter. Leave it on the seat when your class finishes so the next person to sit in your seat ends up with a random letter. Lemur and I decided to do this one in maths a few weeks ago- it was brilliant. I can't remember what we actually wrote- I think it was something along the lines of:
"Dear person I have never met,
I have loved you since the first time I saw you.
I do not yet know your name yet, but I wish to meet with you and express my appreciation for you.
Meet me at *whatever obscure place we could think of* on Friday lunchtime and I will reveal my identity to you.
I love you."
Even better was the fact that when we walked into class later that week, we actually had a reply! When writing your own letter- the weirder the better!
3. Try and sneak into another classroom without the teacher noticing you. Get out of your class somehow and walk into another class, do a dance and leave before the teacher turns around if you can get away with it. A guy kept doing that in our history class. It was actually really hilarious because he got away with coming in, moonwalking from one side of the room to the other and back again, then leaving without being noticed at all. Our teacher didn't catch him until the last week of term. Everyone thought it was funny that she just caught him after about eight weeks of doing this.
4. Ask your teacher if they've seen your imaginary friend. Lemur, one of our other friends and I did this last year to prank a student teacher. We described our imaginary friends Bob, Frank and Geoffrey in great detail. We actually followed him to the staff room telling him all about what they looked like, their personalities and everything. Geoffrey was a sinister old guy; Bob was short and blue and Frank... I don't know. Then there was Steve, who was very upset. Our twisted storyline was: Frank and Geoffrey ran away together and Bob went with them as a chaperone. Steve loves Frank and Geoffrey and was running around on the roof looking for them.
He didn't teach our class for very long after that.
5. Climb out a window. Obviously, if you're in an upstairs classroom, this isn't going to work. Unless you really want to die, or you're REALLY stupid. Someone actually managed to do this in New Zealand. Someone threw his pen out the window, so he climbed out to get it. The teacher turned around when he was standing outside the window and somehow didn't notice him standing, very obviously, on the other side of the glass. He then managed to get back in and at his desk without her even noticing he was gone.
What a ninja.
6. Go into the wrong class. Blondy and I did this by accident back in first term. Our science class was right next door to another year ten science class, and we followed the wrong class inside. We were pretty confused when we saw the teacher standing out the front, but we thought, "oh, he must just be relieving." Yeah, no. He called roll and there were a bunch of people definitely not in our class. So we went to leave and we got yelled at for trying to walk out of the classroom. He wouldn't let us explain. Once he stopped yelling, we just said quietly, "we're in the wrong class, sir." Everyone was wetting themselves laughing (including us) and we had to explain why we were late to our teacher (who probably thought we were really stupid.
7. Make an animal noise after every sentence, like a full stop. For example, Lemur and I decided to do this. We decided to 'meow' after every sentence in our music class. Our teacher, who is slightly crazy (but the healthy kind of crazy) thought this was absolutely hilarious. One of the guys decided that it would be funny to "woof" whenever we said "meow", which Mr. Music Teacher thought was even better. What made it even more amazing was the "who let the dogs out?" that followed the "woof." So whenever Lemur or I spoke, it was followed by a "meow", "woof", "who let the dogs out?". It was grand. It will probably annoy everyone near you when you speak, but if you know people with a good sense of humour, it will be great.
8. Fling elastic bands at people. Well, not at people. It requires a little planning as you have to actually have plenty of elastic bands at your disposal, but here's what you do as my dad used to do it. You aim at the ceiling directly above someone's head. It works best if it's a person who's actually concentrating really hard on what they're doing. That way, they'll have no idea what's going on. So once you've got your aim good, fling it. If you've done it properly, it will hit the ceiling and fall straight down onto the person's head (or, if your aim wasn't quite that good, right in front of them or on their arm or something. Fifty points to your Hogwarts house if it goes down the back of their dress/shirt/imaginary clothes).
9. Get everyone in your class outside in the middle of class without being caught doing it. My Kiwi "twin" actually lead this escapade. She was telling me about it. They had some teacher who said she had the eyes of a hawk; she could see everything. She actually managed, one by one, to get everyone out of the classroom bar like, one kid who didn't want to, without being noticed. When she actually turned around, apparently there was a massive "WHAT THE HELL!!!!" Would've been gold.
10. Swap names with people. This was another thing my "twin" was involved in. It only works if you have a new teacher or a relief teacher, or if it's first lesson of the start of the year- if no one knows who you are, though. When the teacher calls roll, say yes to someone else's name. Go by that name the whole lesson. It requires a bit of planning, because everyone else has to know what's going on, but the hilarity is worth it.
So there you have them! The top ten things to do when you're bored in class! For best results, try them on a teacher with a good sense of humour, and don't try when it's obvious that they're in a really bad mood. Have fun, and if you try any of these, let me know how it turned out! I will definitely post more often now that I have FREEDOM!
